3. Creating an FMEA(C)
3.1 FMEA(C) preparation
The method is part of an activity cycle. Upstream of the FMEA, a functional analysis must have been carried out. The external functional analysis of the system describes what is expected of it. This description is essential to give meaning to the malfunction analysis. The aim is to determine whether the malfunctions identified comply with these requirements, prevent the achievement of a required function, degrade the accomplishment of a function, or produce a result that is indifferent to the specifications, but which we must ensure does not present a danger.
The internal functional analysis describes how the functions required by the customer's specifications are realized through functions described in the technical specifications as...

Creating an FMEA(C)
Appendix 1: FMEA for a lamp post
To illustrate our approach, here's a virtual example of a FMEA analysis. In order to present a fairly small FMECA, the system studied is a simple object and the decomposition is not detailed. This analysis has no claim to relevance, and is intended only to illustrate the approach.
The object under consideration is an ordinary floor lamp.

Details of the table in figure 1 (taken from CNOMO standard E41.50.530.N) and explanations on how to complete it are available free of charge from the Comité de normalisation des moyens de production (CNOMO) website.
