Abstract :
Failure mode analysis for complex systems is an important, and sometimes challenging, task. In this paper, a method for failure mode analysis based on Multilevel Flow Models (MFM) is presented. When an MFM model of the system exists, it is possible to perform an automated failure mode analysis, and even to give failure predictions in an online system in real time. The system is implemented in a version of the MFM Toolbox, a program for editing and testing MFM models on a Windows-based PC.
