Session 3.1: FMEA
Note: This training deck is primarily composed of instructional screenshots (numbered dialog boxes, toolbar callouts, field highlights). The text below preserves all extractable slide text — titles, bullet points, discussion/exercise headings, and table content. Where a slide is dominated by an unlabeled screenshot, only the caption and step-list text could be extracted; screenshot visual detail itself is not represented.
Session 3.1: FMEA
SESSION 3.1 OUTLINE
3.1.1: Failure Mode & Effects Analysis Definition 3.1.2: FMEA Analysis in MADE 3.1.3: Generating a FMEA Report 3.1.4: Override Failure Diagrams � Functional Failure Settings
Session 3.1: FMEA
DISCUSSION 3.1.1 FAILURE MODES & EFFECTS ANALYSIS DEFINITION
MIL-STD-1629A Analyse each failure mode Determine their effects on the system Classify failure modes according to severity
Session 3.1: FMEA
DISCUSSION 3.1.1 FAILURE MODE DEFINITION
MIL-STD-1629A Failure Mode = MADE Failure Mode (Functional Failures only)
How are physical failures captured in a MADE FMEA?
Session 3.1: FMEA
DISCUSSION 3.1.1 FAILURE MODE DEFINITION (CONTINUED)
A Failure Mode in a MADE model can have multiple Failure Paths (Physical Failures)
Session 3.1: FMEA
DISCUSSION 3.1.2 FMEA ANALYSIS IN MADE
MADE generates a FMEA report based on the MADE system model created Each row represents one failure path and failure mode (including local, next & end effects) Severity Classification of each row is calculated from the Failure Mode Severity of the End effect Item
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.2 SETTING AN END EFFECT IN THE SYSTEM MODEL
Method 1:
Right-click the Fuel Tank' item in the Project Explorer Select End Effect Item from the menu Result: End effect is now the Fuel Tank' item (upward-pointing arrow )
Method 2:
Right-click the Power Generation' system on the System canvas Select End Effect Item from the menu Result: End effect will be set to the Power Generation' System
Set the `Vehicle System' to the End Effect using either method
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.2 EDIT THE END EFFECT ITEM SEVERITY
To change the Severity factor:
Locate the `Power Generation' subsystem in the Project Explorer Expand the System Tree until Mechanical � rotational Torque is visible then select this item From the Properties viewer select the Criticality tab
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.2 EDIT THE END EFFECT ITEM SEVERITY (CONTINUED)
Verify that the Failure Mode response (top tab) is set to: Low Change the Severity value to: 6.0 Change the Failure Mode response (top tab) to: High Change the Severity value to: 9.0
Session 3.1: FMEA
DISCUSSION 3.1.3 FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A) REPORT
There are 2 different FMEA reports available in MADE:
Component/Subsystem FMEA
Component/Subsystem FMEA report is generated from any source and any selected end effect
This report is a condensed report that can be used to report only on select component / subsystem
System FMEA
The system FMEA report is generated on all components for the entirety of the system
This report is a full report which captures all component and subsystem effects on the end effect
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.3 GENERATE A FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A) REPORT
To generate a FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A) Report:
Select Reports Report Wizard from the main menu
Under Failure Mode Effects Analysis select FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A)
Select to proceed to next page
Set the Level of Analysis to System
Ensure Propagation Method is set to FCM
Select to generate the report
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.3 GENERATE A FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A) REPORT (CONTINUED)
Select Reports Report Wizard from the main menu
Under Failure Mode Effects Analysis select FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A)
Select to proceed to next page
Set the Level of Analysis to Component/Subsystem
Select the `Vehicle System' item from the System Model list and select to set as end effect
Select the Air Filter' component from the Diesel Engine'
Subsystem and select
This will report on the `Air Filter' component
Select to generate the report
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.3 GENERATE A FMEA (MIL-STD-1629A) REPORT
Session 3.1: FMEA
EXERCISE 3.1.3 FMEA SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION
Session 3.1: FMEA
DISCUSSION 3.1.4 OVERRIDE FAILURE DIAGRAMS � FUNCTIONAL FAILURE SETTINGS
Override failure diagram option is available for items with Failure Diagrams
Override is selected: FMEA/FMECA does not report Failure Paths, only Failure Mode responses Override is not selected: FMEA/FMECA reports Failure Paths AND Failure Mode responses (additional rows)
Session 3.1: FMEA
