Video 8: Introduction to FMEA for Monitoring and System Response (MSR)

This supplementary lesson introduces the FMEA for Monitoring and System Response which is a new addition in the handbook specifically for complex electronic systems. It explains when to apply this method to analyze potential failure causes that occur under customer operating conditions particularly where safety or regulatory compliance depends on diagnostic detection.

You will understand the specific scope of the Supplemental FMEA MSR and how it focuses on the severity of harm and the technical ability to avoid failure effects through automated responses. The video clarifies that this process follows the same seven step approach as the standard Design FMEA but is tailored for designs involving sensors and programmable systems that require real time monitoring.
