This form should be reviewed and updated regularly to align with project timelines and milestones for 2024 and 2025.
What is the purpose of this form?
The purpose of this form is to standardize the procedures for conducting a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and establishing a Critical Items List (CIL). FMEA is a systematic method used to identify and evaluate potential failure modes and their effects on a system or process. This form ensures that all relevant personnel follow a consistent approach in performing FMEA, leading to better risk assessment, mitigation, and overall mission success.
Tell me about this form and its components and fields line-by-line.
- 1. Item under development: A mission, spacecraft, instrument, system, subsystem, software, or component undergoing development.
- 2. Functional Block Diagram: A diagram that visually represents the inputs and outputs required to perform a function.
- 3. Interface: The point where a relationship exists between two or more parts, systems, programs, persons, or procedures that require compatibility.
- 4. Failure Mode: The particular way an item fails to perform its intended function.
- 5. Failure Mechanism: The actual physical process leading to a failure mode.
- 6. Failure Effect: The impact a particular failure mode has at various levels.
What happens if I fail to submit this form?
Failure to submit this form can lead to undetected risks and potential failures that may compromise mission success and safety. This form is critical in identifying and mitigating failure modes.
- Undetected Risks: Potential failures may go unnoticed, increasing the likelihood of mission failure.
- Safety Compromise: Failure to identify critical items can lead to safety hazards.
- Mission Delays: Unaddressed failure modes can result in project delays and increased costs.
How do I know when to use this form?
- 1. Preliminary Design Phase: Perform FMEA during the preliminary design phase to identify and eliminate potential failure modes early.
- 2. Detailed Design Phase: Update FMEA during the detailed design phase to validate design changes and corrective actions.
- 3. Post-Implementation Review: Use FMEA to ensure no critical failure modes remain after implementing corrective actions.
Frequently Asked Question
What is an FMEA?
FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, a systematic method for evaluating processes to identify where and how they might fail and assessing the relative impact of different failures.

Is training available for performing FMEA?
Yes, training in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is available for personnel involved in the FMEA process.
What is a Critical Items List?
A Critical Items List (CIL) is a collection of items from the FMEA that identifies specific systems, components, or processes that pose risks to mission success or safety if they fail.
Who should perform an FMEA?
An FMEA should be performed by qualified personnel involved in the design, development, or analysis of the system or process under review.
How often should FMEA be performed?
FMEA should be conducted during the preliminary and detailed design phases and updated iteratively to ensure no critical or high priority failure modes remain after corrective actions are taken.
