1106 Implementation of Knowledge Management System for Fault Tree Analysis Based on Quantity Dimension Indexing
Details
When a designer finds or encounters a problem during a product design and development process, an effective way of ensuring the security and safety of the product is to identify all the possible causes of the problem by fault tree analysis (FTA) and fix them. Although FTA is an effective method, it is not easy for a designer to construct a complete fault tree without any misunderstanding or oversight. To solve this problem, the authors propose a new design knowledge management approach called quantity dimension indexing and computerized support for FTA such as the verification of consistency of a fault tree and fault tree construction advice. This paper describes methods of computerized support for FTA and its system implementation.
