Abstract
Failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) has been used in industry
for design, manufacturing and assembly process quality control. It
describes a formal approach for categorizing how a process may fail
and for prioritizing failures based on their severity, frequency and
likelihood of detection. Experience conducting a partial FMEA of an
accelerator subsystem and its related control system will be reviewed. The
applicability of the FMEA process to an operational accelerator control
system will be discussed.
