| Description: For risk management and assessment you need a good understanding of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Fault tree analysis is also the tool for discovering product failure, engineering failure and the common human error causes.
This 49 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:
Generic examples are provided for both Safety and Reliability cases. |
