P-diagrams have proven to be successful in the development of Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis (DFMEA). PFMEA is a crucial tool for minimizing process risks, and we believe that leveraging p-diagrams can greatly enhance its effectiveness. There is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the application of p-diagrams in PFMEA development. To address this gap, our proposed approach aims to provide a comprehensive guide for developing p-diagram driven robust PFMEA development. By utilizing p-diagrams, we aim to improve the accuracy and robustness of the PFMEA process. We start by analyzing the process through the creation of a process flow diagram. This diagram provides a visual representation of the interconnected steps involved in the process. Following that, we develop p-diagrams for each focus item (any potentially critical step or cell in the manufacturing process) we have identified as a potential risk using Change Point Analysis or any other risk assessment methodology. These p-diagrams help us gain a better understanding of the relationships between manufacturing parameters, manufacturing failure modes, noise factors or potential causes(6M), and required functions of the focus area. This understanding is essential for a structured transition into Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA). To further enhance our analysis, we leverage the 6M (Ishikawa) approach as a proactive input into p-diagram as potential causes that drive any potential manufacturing failure modes. This categorizes potential sources of noise factors into six main categories (Man, Machine, Materials, Methods, Measurement, Mother Nature), allowing us to identify and address various noise factors that may impact the process requirements. Subsequently, the PFMEA team proceeds to complete the remaining columns, such as failure consequences, and evaluates the Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs). This systematic process thoroughly examines all functions and potential noise factors that could lead to deviations from ideal functionality. By doing so, it enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of overlooking important causes of failures.","PeriodicalId":518362,"journal":{"name":"2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)","volume":"103 2","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the use of Miner's Rule, especially over the past 25 years, in order to explore potential pathways for improving its use. Special attention is given to approaches researchers have taken towards the damage limit value, model accuracy, and uncertainty characterization. This meta-analysis revealed that an alternative model which simply provides more accuracy than Miner's Rule will not retire Miner's Rule. Wide adoption of an alternative model requires balancing increased accuracy with model simplicity. The authors propose that such balance will best be achieved with a model that possesses nonlinear and probabilistic elements. They further hypothesize a probabilistic version of the Marco-Starkey model as a potential candidate. Recommendations for future work include efforts towards a common definition of failure, probabilistic characterizations of the damage limit, an extensive comparison of alternative models to identify candidate models offering optimal balance, and an increased partnership among academia, industry, and government in verification efforts of alternative models.","PeriodicalId":518362,"journal":{"name":"2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)","volume":"334 2","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will be useful to find deviations in the procedure, such as missing steps and incorrect actions, which will reflect the reliability of the performing protocol. This method is also part of the work towards its integration with the NLS reliability model. A combination of image segmentation and action classification methods is used. The U-net Deep Learning model is trained to do segmentation on 18 objects. Every 150 consecutive segmented video frames are then grouped for action analysis. Four types of handcrafted features are extracted from every grouped image. A training strategy using traditional Machine Learning models is developed to deal with an imbalanced dataset, as well as to reduce the complexity of the system. The predicted action segment is visually examined to make sure of its practicality. Results show that the NLS first step of wet towel removal was correctly recognized in 23 of 23 videos (52.2%), indicating the potential usefulness of the model in determining if this critical action is performed correctly and at the right time.","PeriodicalId":518362,"journal":{"name":"2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)","volume":"12 4","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140530658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Novel systems, such as permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), have become prominent in many impactful applications. These include but are not limited to propulsion aircraft, electric vehicles, ultra-high-speed elevators, and industrial manufacturing. Therefore, determining an optimal fault detection framework is a significant task. However, due to the newness of this system, there is little to no experimental data to analyze, so finite element simulation data is a necessity for determining the monitoring system. In this study, a design optimization approach is implemented for sensor placement and fault detection on a PMSM with hall effect sensors. This system is prone to short-winding faults, which can lead to catastrophic failures. The proposed method simultaneously determines the optimal placement of sensors while training an optimal classifier. The sensor placement is identified with a genetic algorithm, which uses the classifier's accuracy as the fitness function. In this case, the classifier structure is “stacked,” which means it combines multiple classification models and makes a final output with a meta-learner. This advanced classifier enables not only fault detection, but the severity of said fault, which is a significant improvement over present methodologies. Overall, this proposed structure converges to a design that has high accuracy for detection of faults, as well as the severity level.","PeriodicalId":518362,"journal":{"name":"2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)","volume":"275 10","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper a study is conducted comparing different strategies in terms of $P_{ts}$ values using the Pearl String and Horizon methods for reliability test planning while applying different operating load spectra. The results reveal the Horizon method generally achieves higher $P_{ts}$ values, indicating a superior performance. However, the importance of considering the cost-effectiveness of achieving higher $P_{ts}$ leads to further information to optimize test planning. Thus, the study suggests that the optimal approach to reliability test planning is dependent on the operating load spectra, the test strategy, number of specimen and the associated values for $P_{ts}$ and cost.","PeriodicalId":518362,"journal":{"name":"2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)","volume":"226 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because initial analyses indicated a dominance in the total risk by software and firmware failures, efforts were made to refine those risks which involved: • Establishing software function traces for each detection algorithm, • Utilizing the Logical Source Lines of Code (LSLOC) count, • Refinement of the software failure rate, and • Establishing fractional multipliers for common hardware and software failure modes across the applicable individual fault trees. These efforts and their impact on the overall analyses are also discussed. The analysis scope, general assumptions and guide rules, and key modeling concepts are discussed to establish the basis of the risk assessments conducted. Even with the implementation of the analysis refinements, software and firmware are still key risk contributors, but hardware failures, primarily in the form of Common Cause Failures (CCFs), are also indicated as risk drivers. The refinements enable risk estimations of individual detection functions as well as the entire FM suite. There still remains issues of how to account for time and redundancy in the software risk estimations that will continue to be the focus of future work.","PeriodicalId":518362,"journal":{"name":"2024 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS)","volume":"261 9","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
