Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to evaluate failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) in a defence integrated logistics environment.FMECA is a bottom-up, inductive analytical method which may be performed at either the functional or piece-part level. The result highlights failure modes with relatively high probability and severity of consequences, allowing remedial effort to be directed where it will produce the greatest value, and to inform the safety case for the asset.It includes identifying source data, establishing and maintaining baselines for logistics support analysis (LSA), revising LSA data and documenting FMECA and related analyses.This unit is appropriate for technical specialists supporting integrated logistics functions. Typically, these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant policy and organisational procedures.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify source data
  • 1.1 Integrated logistics support (ILS) strategy for the program is reviewed to ensure relevance and alignment of FMECA
  • 1.2 Organisational procurement and supply chain policies, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) data for each identified item are interpreted
  • 1.3 Contractual and regulatory requirements are determined and reviewed
  • 1.4 LSA plan data is reviewed in line with trends in system supportability and affordability
  • 1.5 Sensitivity analysis is conducted in accordance with organisational procedures
  • 1.6 Levels of confidence to data is risk assessed
2 Establish and maintain baselines for LSA
  • 2.1 In-service LSA data is gathered in accordance with organisational procedures
  • 2.2 LSA baseline data and actions to deal with deviations or failure from established baselines are reviewed
  • 2.3 FMECA criticality analysis is conducted in accordance with contractual and organisational procedures
  • 2.4 FMECA data is interpreted to inform maintenance and supply support requirements
  • 2.5 FMECA data is interpreted to confirm coverage of the operating support intent
  • 2.6 Verification and validation of data is completed to confirm performance outcomes
3 Revise LSA data
  • 3.1 LSA parameters using current data are analysed
  • 3.2 LSA data is analysed and results are recorded
  • 3.3 Logistics support management information systems is updated in accordance with contractual, regulatory requirements and organisational procedures
4 Document and maintain FMECA and related analyses
  • 4.1 Level of analyses, the data sources and techniques used in performing the analysis, including the system definition narrative, resultant analysis data, and worksheets are summarised, and the results documented
  • 4.2 Reliability critical item lists are extracted from the FMECA and included in a summary report
  • 4.3 FMECA data is collected throughout in-service and disposal phases to inform support system requirements
  • 4.4 Conclusions and recommendations based upon the analysis and recommended actions are documented in accordance with organisational procedures
