Abstract
An overview is given on the results of recent studies by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to provide risk-based guidelines for performing a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) on high-speed crafts and propulsion remote control systems. The approach describes how frequency and severity categories can be used in the FMEA to guide designers in assessing the risk and reliability of the system. Recognizing that many designers may not be familiar with the risk tools, the guideline provides step-by-step instructions on how to prepare, conduct, and document the analysis.
