scope:

Use/relationship:

The Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) identifies independent single item failures and the resulting potential impact on mission success, performance, safety, and maintainability. The FMECA promotes corrective actions by identifying potential failure risk and maintainability issues in order that appropriate corrective actions may be taken early to eliminate or control high risk items to improve operational readiness and reduce life cycle cost. The FMECA also establishes the baseline engineering information to identify and eliminate or control all failure modes throughout the systems life cycle. The FMECA analytics establish the basis for fault detection, fault isolation, operator and maintainer failure recognition, depot test parameters and lay-in repair parts. This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format, intended use information, and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task described in the solicitation, and should be tailored appropriately.

This DID supersedes DI-ILSS-81495A.
