[SystemSafety] FMEA draft international standard

[Matthew Squair]

And another thing.

There's already standards released and available for FMEA, see the SAE's J
standard, and the venerable MIL-STD-1629. So why do we need another? Before
we go gaily skipping down the primrose path of generating another
 standard, perhaps someone could state clearly why these are inadequate and
clearly define what the hoped for improvement is?

I haven't seen pictures in the news of crowds of angry RAM engineers
besieging their local standards organisations, angrily waving FMEA reports
in the air and demanding action to include 'C' into the acronym.

Hi Drew, all,

Standards processes seldom have an easy way for people outside the

immediate process to say "You're whole approach to this is wrong".

They're much more suited to complaining about how specific bits are

expressed, on the assumption that the overall framework makes sense.


Is that intentional, do you think? It sounds like a good defence mechanism.
