Scope
This sessions focus is on the NPD process and the risk not having
an adequate deliverable (product) as an output.
Product risk is handled for those aspects influenced by the NPD
process

Early stage risk assessment: why?
Wait for the risk to come true ?
More freedom to adjust in early project phases
=> Early detection of risk allows for measures at
lower cost and with less impact on schedule
=> Learn to fail fast !

An Approach to reverse the learning curve
Avoid unnecessary risk:
Define / Limit the level of innovation according objectives
Identify remaining risk:
Review if you have a clear set of requirements: identify TBD’s/TBC’s.
Ensure that you properly understand the requirements and that
there is a consensus, identify YOUR risks (level of knowledge).
Are all disciplines /aspects covered before starting the next phase (also
human aspects!)

An Approach to reverse the learning curve
Move it to the front end:
Plan to mitigate risk and allocate priorities in a solid development plan
Ensure that requirements/functions/performance, … can be met. This
might involve early verification (e.g. by breadboarding)
Get control on the process:
Plan project buffers instead of task buffers to protect your project
Set-up a control system and a transparent documentation (configuration
control)
Strategic / tactical and operational levels

FMECA intro
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
FMECA is a bottom up risk assessment tool, typically used to assess technical risks.
Goals
• to identify potential failure modes for a product or process,
• to assess the risk associated with those failure modes,
• to rank the issues in terms of importance
• to address the most serious concerns
• to identify and carry out corrective actions

FMECA: functional level or piece-part level?
Functional FMECA
• Considers the failures at the functional block level (e.g. a power supply)
• This method can be used early in the design process.
• Provides more overview / insight in system interactions and dependencies.
Piece part FMECA
• Considers the individual components (e.g. a transistor)
• Used when a detailed design is available
• A piece part FMECA provides more in depth evaluation.
• A piece part FMECA requires far more effort.
Tailoring of FMECA
• Determine the level of detail according to the needs and type of product
• Start at functional level and dig deeper where needed
• Maximise your “return on investment”
20. CONFIDENTIAL
October 26th 2012 Slide 21
FMECA: Strengths & weaknesses
Strengths:
• Avoid costly modifications by the early identification of design deficiencies……if used early
• Provide an understanding of the factors which influence the reliability of the system
• To provide proof that care has been taken to ensure that the design will meet its specification in
service.
Weaknesses:
• FMEA can be a time/resource consuming & inefficient process … see tailoring
• Inability to deal with multiple-failure scenarios or unplanned cross-system effects.
• Software/hardware interactions
• Human interactions with hardware
21. CONFIDENTIAL
October 26th 2012 Slide 22
Main reasons for an ineffective FMECA !!
Organisation / management level:
• Lack of follow-up to insure implementation
• Not enough support of management
Typically 50% of field problems can occur at interfaces or integration with the
system.
Disconnect between FMEA and company information
• Eg Field failure data
• Eg previous products design
The FMEA is not completed during the "window of opportunity”.
-> functional FMEA early in design process
-> Piece part FMEA should be available at design reviews
Failure to get to root cause.
-> Expert input is necessary.
-> Should be team action
23. CONFIDENTIAL
October 26th 2012 Slide 24
Strengths of FTA
• A disciplined approach which is highly systematic
• Flexible enough to allow analysis of a variety of factors, including human
interactions and physical phenomena.
• The application of the "top-down" approach focuses attention on those effects of failure
which are directly related to the top event.
• The pictorial representation leads to an understanding of the system behaviour and
the factors
24. CONFIDENTIAL
October 26th 2012 Slide 25
How can risk assessment help you in
meeting requirements ?
Use risk assessment tools to select the most promising concepts / exclude the
most risky concepts
• Use major requirements as top event in a FTA
• Use functional FMECA in the concept faze of NPD
FMECA: use the requirements as basic input for the ratings
• Eg the severity of an image defect in an office printer is much lower than
for a medical diagnostic printer
• Eg the severity rating for a low budget hand tool will be much lower than
for a professional craftsmen tool.

Reporting & communication
Risk register / Risk Breakdown Structure
•
Set priorities to keep focus on added value: risk score ranking
•
Communicate with stakeholders
•
Track and control
•
Assign responsibilities
•
Reporting is incidental to good RM, not the sole focus of it!
•
If you only focus on reporting, you will not motivate the required culture change
•
Weakness: combinatorial risks, illusion of control

To specify in excessive detail.
The customer overspecified the requirements and now we're contractually required
to build it this way. Does he think he's an engineer?
To specify excessive capability.
As usual the customer overspecified the requirements, it's like asking for a car that
sits 20 and fits in compact car's parking space
Don’t Overspecify

Option management & requirements
Be aware of extra risk due to design changes (schedule,
cost, impact on other design items, …)
Examples:
Hot cold treatment:
• Temperature target 2 °C very demanding
and not usefull for treatment
Borehole measurement:
• 5 µm target very demanding , set by quality department
and not usefull for end user (production)
Overspecified Underspecified

Dependability requirements
i.e. define a safe system (dependability)
• generate requirements to ensure the root causes of risks are avoided
• ensure risk doesn’t arise
• ensure if it arises it doesn’t develop into an incident
• ensure damage is minimised
• ensure if damage occurs cost of recovery is minimised
-> generate requirements that ensure there is a high probability that these safety
functions will be available
Requirements that specify the detection, isolation, diagnosis, and recovery of the system
from failures and its restoration to an acceptable state and therefore a level of fault
tolerance, fault handling and fault recovery, diagnostic & error messages
