Description

FMEDA Express: Key Skills for ISO 26262 Automotive Safety is a comprehensive course designed to introduce you to the core concepts of Functional Safety and the FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis) technique, specifically within the context of the automotive industry. This course starts with a thorough understanding of the input elements needed before performing an FMEDA analysis, such as component references, failure rate databases, and diagnostic coverage. You will learn how these elements contribute to the overall analysis and its relevance in ensuring system safety.The course then walks you through the FMEDA process step by step, emphasizing the importance of accurate calculations and safety metrics. You will gain practical experience in performing a functional safety analysis, including how to evaluate failure modes, assess safety goals, and determine compliance with standards like ISO 26262.Although the primary focus of this course is on the automotive sector, the principles of FMEDA can be applied to other industries, especially those dealing with safety-critical systems. Whether you are a student, a future engineer, or an industry professional, this course will equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to perform effective FMEDA analysis, helping ensure the reliability and safety of your designs and systems.
