Abstract

Considering the possible failures within a technical system represents a major engineering task. This paper suggests a completely new approach to the widely accepted failure analysis method FMEA. The paper describes a method named Failure Modes, Effects and Risks Analysis or FMERA, which is a technique of design engineering, used at risk identifying and quantifying, from the moment of risk occurrence and its effects early in the process of development, through a comprehensive consideration of a system life cycle cost, thus having a direct impact on the later reduction of possible negative consequences.
