Executive summary
This report introduces the topic of Potential Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and gives general overview of the causes of Potential failures. This report illustrates how to find the problems, the potential causes to recommend actions, the FMEA methodology was chosen. All findings of this ‘PROJECT EVALUATION FMEA an Adapted Methodology for a better understanding of successful project approaches will be assessed and checked by the project.
This report cannot cover all the possible problems, causes and actions to be taken care when designing and ca
ying out projects, but it provides an useful tool to identify, avoid or manage the most common problems and mistake occurs in a project.

1. Introduction
1.1 Potential failures modes(PFM)
The Failure Mode is the way to which a component, product, subassembly, input, or process will be failed to perform its required function. For example failure modes are the result of the upstream operations and may cause the downstream operations which are to fail in doing the things that may be wrong. Failures are for Identification and describing, and evaluating site specific PFMs are the most important steps in organising the risk analysis. This forms the basis for the risk evaluations and an event tree development.
1.2 Identifying and Describing PFM
Identification of the PFMs is completed in a team, with a group of the qualified people. It is an important to take a fresh glance at the PFM not just to those that may be previously identified. The facilitator who represents a candidate PFM from the team members, based on their understanding of the problems and confidence level on the project on data review. It is useful to
ainstorm the PFM, then go back and evaluate the all. It is the facilitator’s responsibility to ensure the PFM that are completely described.
The reasons of potential failure modes are as follows:
(1) To ensure the team that has a common understanding of the discussion.
(2) To ensure that someone is picking the report up into the future and will have a full understanding of what the team has done.
(3) To enable the development of an event in estimating risks, if wa
anted.
Classification of Potential failure Modes (PFM)
· Highlighted PFM
· Not highlighted PFM
· More information needed PFM
· Ruled out PFM (physically impossible or remote)
2. Project Plan
It includes the Initiator, Failure progression and the resulting impacts. Proper planning the failure analysis is the major part of any system fault identification. (reservoir example has taken)
2.1 The initiator: For an example, it may increases the reservoir level due to flooding a strong earthquake, malfunctioning of the equipment, deterioration, an increase in up, or decreases the strength of the equipment.
2.2 Failure progression: It includes the mechanisms that lead to the uncontrolled release of the reservoir. The location of the failure is likely to occur should also be highlighted. This might include a way through the materials which are to be transported in a piping and the location of over topping in a flood, failure on the top area in the sliding situation.
2.3 The resulting impacts: The method is the expected magnitude of the
each and uncontrolled release of reservoir is also part of description. It includes the rapid and how the expected
each should be, and
each mechanism. The ultimate
each from a piping failure mechanism which is adjacent to outlet conduit may result in the unraveling of the downstream slope as it results of flows under cutting until the reservoir is
eached at which the point of rapid erosion of embankment remnant ensues, cutting the
each base of the conduit.
3. Failure Mode & Effects Analysis
3.1 Definition:The FMEA is defined as the systematic process in identifying the potential design and the process failures before they occur in any system, with an intention to eliminate them or to minimise the problems associated with them. Procedures for FMEA are based on the standards. In other words FMEA is an advanced Quality Planning tool used to evaluate the potential failures modes and their causes.
3.2 Objectives of an FMEA
a) The fundamental purpose of an FMEA is to prove that the worst case failure in practice does not exceed that stated by the designers in the functional design specification.
) FMEA is a tool for development of a fault tolerance system that cannot hold in the presence of critical circumstances, but also allows the faults which were to be co
ected as they occur at the operation in hand.
