| Definition: | quantitative or qualitative method of analysis that involves failure modes and effects analysis together with a consideration of the probability of the failure mode occurrence and the severity of the effects
Note 1 to entry: The term "fault mode, effects and criticality analysis" is deprecated, since a fault (192-04-01) is a state and cannot logically have a mode, whereas a failure mode (192-03-17) is a change of state.
