“…FMEA is employed in engineering to specify, discover, and remove predictable and plausible faults from a system in order to improve its reliability [34][35][36][37][38][39]. Reliability is a measure on the probability of a system or in this case a network, accomplishing its planned function in the required duration and operating environment [34]. FMEA helps to analyse and overcome different failure modes that may affect the reliability of a system or in this instance the hybrid optical wireless broadband access network prior to its implementation [34].…”

“…FMEA hinged on Risk Priority Number (PRN) for root causes of the potential failure modes to appraise the risk of the system and prioritise the actions that need to be taken [34]. A Risk Priority Number (PRN) is derived for each root cause by multiplying their respective severity, occurrence, and detection rating [42,43].…”

Deploying redundant component is the ubiquitous approach to improve the reliability and survivability of a hybrid optical wireless broadband access network (HOWBAN). Much work has been done to study the cost and impact of deploying redundant component in the network but no formal tools have been used to enable the evaluation and decision to prioritise the deployment of redundant facilities in the network. In this paper we show how FMEA (Failure Mode Effect and Analysis) technique can be adapted to identify the critical segment in the network and prioritise the redundant component to be deployed to ensure network survivability. Our result showed that priority must be given to redundancy to mitigate grid power outage particularly in less developed countries which is poised for rapid expansion in broadband services.

“…Today, The FMEA is emerging as a tool for assessing the risk of clinical trial processes and clinical analytical methods. However, there are still too few reports about this last use and even fewer data are available on the application of the methodology in clinical laboratories [5][6][7][8]. The risk assessment in this technique involves identification of potential errors, determining the severity (S), occurrence (O) and effects of each error and reviewing the control actions implemented to prevent or detect (D) errors [9] (Figure 1).…”

Patient safety is an aim for clinical applications and is a fundamental principle of healthcare and quality management. The main global health organizations have incorporated patient safety in their review of work practices. The data provided by the medical laboratories have a direct impact on patient safety and a fault in any of processes such as strategic, operational and support, could affect it. To provide appreciate and reliable data to the physicians, it is important to emphasize the need to design risk management plan in the laboratory. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is an efficient technique for error detection and reduction. Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) licensed a technical specification for medical laboratories suggesting FMEA as a method for prospective risk analysis of high-risk processes. FMEA model helps to identify quality failures, their effects and risks with their reduction/elimination, which depends on severity, probability and detection. Applying FMEA in clinical approaches can lead to a significant reduction of the risk priority number (RPN).

“…It is used for identifying potential failure modes, determining their effects on the system operation and identifying actions to mitigate the failure effects. The methodology is widely used in many engineering fields as automotive [7], avionics [8], electronic products [9], [10] and software engineering [11], [12]. All these works define common tasks to the FMEA process, which can be regrouped as (a) system definition and identification of potential failure modes, (b) analysis of the effects of the failure modes in the system and (c) identification of potential causes which may lead to the failure mode and identification of the architecture decisions/changes required to mitigate the failure effects.…”

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a standardized approach during the development of safety-relevant systems in order to systematically identify and address the possible system failures as well as analysis their effects. In the case of FlexRay-based distributed systems, the communication network technology is complex and presents high variability due to the large range of allowed topologies and configurations. In this work we present a generic framework for performing generic FMEA for the communication network system. The proposed framework provides guidance during the application of the analysis and enables the automation of some steps of the process. We further illustrate the application of the proposed framework through a case study which analyzes the Electrical Physical Layer (EPL) of a four nodes FlexRay in-vehicle communication networ
