Ok in this new problem I am having to solve I have the following issue:
Function 1
- Failure 1
Function 2
- Failure 2
Now when assessing the FMEA it is my understanding that we should focus on assessing the failures independently. We should not assess combinations of failures.
However my problem is that I know for a fact these two failures do happen at the same time, and when they do, it is a catastrophe.
Can I represent that in an FMEA framework? Or must I use FTA (fault tree analysis) in this case?
