Integrated RMA with FMECA analysis using a graphical inteface: case study recycling iso-butane pump (CP2K)

Abstract

The objective of our work is the implementation of a new approach for the dependability enhancement of a recycling iso-butane pump (Skikda CP2K petrochemical plant) based on automateddependability analysis system including the automation of the RMA (Reliability, Maintainability, Availability) study and FMECA (Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis) method. After the system description, we present briefly the principle of the automated method. The system analysis in degraded mode is realized by using FMECA method. This automated analysis brings out the different failure modes, their causes and their consequences of each component. The result is risks minimization and reliability enhancement of the considered system.
