INTRODUCTION TO FTA:

Several techniques used for doing risk analysis

including the following:
1) Software hazard analysis
2) Software FTA (Fault Tree Analysis)
3) Real time logic

FTA(top-down analysis): Analytical technique used

in risk analysis of electromechanical system. And
consider type of testing .
 WHAT IS THE FTA?

FTA:graphic mode of various parallel and sequential combinations

of faults or system state that will result in occurrence of the
predefined undesirable event. It thus depicts the logical
interrelationships of basic events that leads to the hazardous
event.
FTA: Logic diagram of system that pictorially shows all probable
failure modes to identify the component causes this failure and the
probability of that failure.
A FTA Important Tools There Is
Standard IEC 61025(BSI,2007)
BENEFITS OF FTA:

 Risk management analysis tool

 Adapted to meet the need of organization
 Mathematical projections made to obtain
probabilities of the system faults
 Plotting and analysis the system.
 Focus on undesirable system performance
 Good background in statistics of the system
