Transcript Criticality Analysis

Criticality – Mil-Std-1629 Approach

CRITICALITY is a measure of the frequency of
occurrence of an effect.
– May be based on qualitative judgement or
– May be based on failure rate data (most common)

Criticality Analysis
Criticality Analysis

Qualitative analysis:
– Used when specific part or item failure rates are not
available.

Quantitative analysis:
– Used when sufficient failure rate data is available to
calculate criticality numbers.

Slide 2
Criticality Analysis
Qualitative Approach

Because failure rate data is not available, failure mode
ratios and failure mode probability are not used.

The probability of occurrence of each failure is grouped
into discrete levels that establish the qualitative failure
probability level for each entry based on the judgment of
the analyst.

The failure mode probability levels of occurrence are:
– Level A - Frequent
– Level B - Reasonably Probable
– Level C - Occasional
– Level D - Remote
– Level E - Extremely Unlikely

Criticality Analysis
Quantitative Approach
Failure Mode Criticality (CM) is the
portion of the criticality number for an
item, due to one of its failure modes,
which results in a particular severity
classification (e.g. results in an end
effect with severity I, II, etc...).

Criticality Analysis
Mil-Std-1629 Severity Levels

Category I - Catastrophic: A failure which may cause death
or weapon system loss (i.e., aircraft, tank, missile, ship, etc...)

Category II - Critical: A failure which may cause severe injury,
major property damage, or major system damage which will
result in mission loss.

Category III - Marginal: A failure which may cause minor
injury, minor property damage, or minor system damage which
will result in delay or loss of availability or mission degradation.

Category IV - Minor: A failure not serious enough to cause
injury, property damage or system damage, but which will
result in unscheduled maintenance or repair.

Slide 5
Criticality Analysis
Quantitative Approach


The quantitative approach uses the following
formula for Failure Mode Criticality:
Cm = βαλpt

Where Cm = Failure Mode Criticality

β = Conditional probability of occurrence of next
higher failure effect

α = Failure mode ratio

λp = Part failure rate

T = Duration of applicable mission phase

Criticality Analysis
Criticality Analysis Example
A resistor R6 with a failure rate of .01 failures per million hours is located on the Missile
Interface Board of the XYZ Missile Launch System. If the resistor fails, it fails open 70
% of the time and short 30 % of the time. If it fails open, the system will be unable to
launch a missile 30 % of the time, the missile explodes in the tube 20 % of the time, and
there is no effect 50 % of the time. If it fails short, the performance of the missile is
degraded 50 % of the time and the missile inadvertently launches 50 % of the time.
Mission time is 1 hour.
λp = 0.01 in every case
α = 0.7 for open
β = 0.3 for unable to fire
β = 0.2 for missile explodes
β = 0.5 for no effect
α = 0.3 for short
β = 0.5 for missile performance degradation
β = 0.5 for inadvertent launch
Cm for R6 open resulting in being unable to fire is (.3)(.7)(.01)(1)=0.0021
Cm for R6 open resulting in a missile explosion is (.2)(.7)(.01)(1)=0.0014
Cm for R6 open resulting in no effect is (.5)(.7)(.01)(1)=0.0035
Cm for R6 short resulting in performance degradation is (.5)(.3)(.01)(1)=0.0015
Cm for R6 short resulting in inadvertent launch is (.5)(.3)(.01)(1)=0.0015

Slide 7
Criticality Analysis
Quantitative Approach
Item Criticality (Cr) is the criticality
number associated with the item under
analysis. For a mission phase, Cr is the
sum of the item’s failure mode
criticality numbers, Cm, which result in
the same severity classification.

Slide 8
Criticality Analysis
Quantitative Approach

The quantitative approach uses the following
formula for Item Criticality within a particular
severity level:

Where Cr Item Criticality

n = The current failure mode of the item being
analyzed

j = The number of failure modes for the item
being analyzed.


A resistor R9 with a failure rate of .04 failures per million hours
is located on the Power Supply Board of the XYZ Missile Launch
System. If the resistor fails, it fails open 70 % of the time and
short 30 % of the time. If it fails open, the system will be unable
to launch a missile 30 % of the time and there is no effect 70 %
of the time. If it fails short, the performance of the missile is
degraded 100 % of the time. Mission time is 1 hour.
