Description:
For risk management and assessment a good understanding of
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) can be an asset. Fault tree analysis is also
a tool for discovering product failure, engineering failure,
ranking the effects of item failures and human error.
This 35 page eBook provides a complete, clear and thorough
description of Fault Tree Analysis. The development of a
tree is explained, along with a thorough description as to how the
tree can then be quantified. The eBook describes how to carry out
an analysis, and how to build a Fault Tree from the top down. The
major elements (Gates and Events) are described. A single worked
example is used to illustrate points as they are introduced. The
eBook explains topics such as:
- Quantification
- Risk ranking
- Selecting the �Important Few� and ignoring the �Unimportant
Many�
- Follow the �Path of the Greatest Resistance�
- The importance of identifying the common cause events
Generic examples are provided for both Safety and Reliability
cases.
