RiskConsult RIAAT Software RAMS Analysis webpage, 2019.Fault Tree Analysis is a top-down, deductive analysis which visually depicts a failure path or failure chain.
Peer review conducted by Pedram DaneshMand, Director, Project Risk Consulting, Audit, Assurance & Risk Consulting, KPMG Text provided by Taylor Burns, Project Engineer, RiskConsult, GmbH The information on this page was primarily sourced from: For the full example please see the following link.Īnalysing the example braking system for safety of a period of one hour, we can see the system has a high level of safety, with the average probability of a dangerous failure per hour being 4.8E-11. By taking a low risk tolerant approach and using the VaR95 value we can determine that the down time within one year will be less than 6.5 hours, and in this case the corrective maintenance costs would be in the order of $6200. In the below example it was found that due to an error in a braking system that the reliability was only 78 per cent.
The logical linking of events is based on the following graphical elements as shown in the diagram below.ĭiagram courtesy of Taylor Burns, RiskConsult, GmbHĪfter completing the analysis, the following example information (see diagram below) can be used to help improve the safety of the system. This results in a Boolean Model (Fault Tree) which is quantified by the characteristic reliability values. Starting at the Top Event (System Failure) all functions, and the assigned failure status of the system’s components are evaluated. All components of a system will be evaluated systematically and analysed according to their roles and functions within the system. The FTA depicts the functional system and quantifies all relevant factors to evaluate reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of the complete system. The Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is the core of probabilistic safety value analysis. Safety – as ability not to harm people, the environment, or any assets during a whole life cycle. Maintainability – as ability to be timely and easily maintained (including servicing, inspection and check, repair and/or modification) Reliability – as ability to perform a specific function and may be assessed as design reliability or operational reliabilityĪvailability – as ability to keep a functioning state in the given environment These terms can be summarised as follows: One specific goal is to provide hard evidence to achieve authorisation for operations. RAMS Management ensures that systems are defined, risk analyses are performed, hazards are identified and detailed reviews and safety cases are executed and reported. RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) is a management process used to avoid failures during the planning stage of projects.
