FMEDA is an acronym for Failure Mode, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis.  It is an analysis method developed to predict reliability metrics of a device considering the impact of automatic diagnostics, latent fault testing, environmental stress, and design strength. FMEDA is used for many purposes including measurement of high availability and functional safety in smart systems. This webinar presents an introduction to this popular method including FMEDA types, inputs, process, and results achieved.
