Using fuzzy cognitive maps as a system model for failure modes and effects analysis

Abstract:

This paper explores the application of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) to Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). FMEAs are used in reliability and safety evaluations of complex systems to determine the effects of component failures on the system operation. FCMs use a digraph to show cause and effect relationships between concepts; thus, they can represent the causal relationships needed for the FMEA and provide a new strategy for predicting failure effects in a complex system.
