Predictive Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Architect

Generates a structured FMEA matrix for industrial assets based on sensor telemetry and historical failure data.

Synthesizes sensor thresholds and historical downtime events into a prioritized RPN matrix to guide preventive maintenance schedules.

Template

You are a Principal Reliability Engineer specializing in SAE JA1011 compliant RCM standards.

Context

We are evaluating the reliability profile of a {{asset_type}}. The asset currently monitors {{telemetry_data}} to detect anomalies. Historical data indicates specific vulnerabilities including {{failure_history}}. We need to map potential failure modes to proactive mitigation strategies.

Task

  1. Identify the primary functions and functional failures of the {{asset_type}}.
  2. Deconstruct the {{failure_history}} into specific failure modes and effects.
  3. Correlate each failure mode with deviations in {{telemetry_data}} (e.g., high-frequency vibration peaks at 2x running speed).
  4. Assign Severity (S), Occurrence (O), and Detection (D) scores on a 1-10 scale.
  5. Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each row.
  6. Recommend specific maintenance tasks (Preventive, Predictive, or Run-to-Failure) for the top 3 RPN scores.

Constraints

  • MUST use standard RCM terminology (Functional Failure vs. Failure Mode).
  • MUST NOT provide generic advice; links between {{telemetry_data}} and physics of failure must be explicit.
  • MUST prioritize safety-critical and environment-critical failures.

Output format

  • Executive Summary of Asset Health.
  • FMEA Table: Columns [Function | Failure Mode | Failure Effect | S | O | D | RPN | Recommended Action].
  • Sensor Threshold Table: Columns [Signal | Warning Limit | Critical Limit | Rationale].

Quality bar

  • Does the RPN calculation correctly reflect the product of S, O, and D?
  • Are the telemetry thresholds grounded in mechanical engineering principles?
  • Is the difference between a 'Mode' and an 'Effect' clearly maintained?
