FMECA

A system or installation can fail due to various faults and stop production. By means of a Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) we can give you insights how these failures can occur.

By making a break down of the system into subsystems or components, we can determine the functions per section. When a component no longer can fulfill its function, it is referred to as a functional failure. These failures occur from failure modes that are a result of the use of the component or through other variables such as aging or fatigue.

When a fault occurs, it also has an effect. For example, there may be damage, someone may be injured or the entire installation has to be shut down, which will bring production to a standstill.

We categorise the effects with a risk matrix. So the criticality can be determined by the product of probability times effect. The greater the criticality, the more necessary the mitigating measure.
We can draw up risk-based maintenance concepts by means of an FMECA.
