Benjamin Admin de140e564e feat(iace): FMEA P1 — open methodology anchors + bp_iace_fmea_kb
P1 of the auto-FMEA build plan: establish the public-domain methodology
foundation (no AIAG-VDA/SAE/IEC tables reproduced).
- fmea_data_sources.go: MIL-STD-882E severity (Cat I-IV→1-10) + probability
  (A-F→1-10 with per-hour λ bands), OccurrenceFromRate(λp·α), SeverityForCategory,
  MIL-STD-1629A CriticalityCm = λp·α·β·t. Own 1-10 projection, government-anchored.
- 4 versioned source docs (MIL-STD-1629A, MIL-STD-882E, NASA RCM, FMD-91/NPRD-91)
  ingested into the new RAG collection bp_iace_fmea_kb (whitelisted).
- Tests for all scales/mappings/criticality (green).

Next (P1 step 2): fetch FMD-91/NPRD-91 bulk λ/α tables from DTIC.

FMECA methodology — MIL-STD-1629A (US public domain)

Canonical, citable methodology source for the IACE auto-FMEA. Ingested into the core RAG collection bp_iace_fmea_kb.

Source

  • Source: US DoD — MIL-STD-1629A, Procedures for Performing a Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (cancelled 1998, still the de-facto FMECA reference)

Procedure (qualitative + quantitative)

  1. Define the system, indenture levels and ground rules.
  2. For each item/function: list failure modescauseslocal / next-higher / end effects.
  3. Assign a severity category (IIV, below).
  4. Quantitative path (when failure-rate data exists): compute the modal criticality Cm = λp · α · β · t — λp part failure rate, α failure-mode ratio (fraction of part failures in this mode), β conditional probability the mode causes the analysed effect, t operating time. Item criticality Cr = Σ Cm.
  5. Qualitative path (Task 101, no λ data): assign probability-of-occurrence levels AE (Frequent → Extremely unlikely) instead of Cm.
  6. Plot items on a severity × criticality matrix — the open analogue of an action-priority ranking (no copyrighted S×O×D RPN table needed).

Severity categories (MIL-STD-1629A / MIL-STD-882 lineage)

Cat Name Meaning
I Catastrophic May cause death or system loss
II Critical Severe injury / major damage
III Marginal Minor injury / minor damage
IV Minor (Negligible) No injury; unscheduled maintenance/repair

How used in IACE

  • The Cm formula and the severity × criticality matrix are the public-domain criticality backbone (CriticalityCm in fmea_data_sources.go).
  • λp/α come from NPRD-91 / FMD-91 (public domain); β and t from the project context.
  • Severity resolves through the linked EN ISO 12100 hazard (safety-FMEA bridge).
