The (Failure Mode Modular De-Composition) FMMD methodology provides
a rigorous method for creating a fault effects model of a system from the bottom up using {\bc} level fault modes.

%a methodology to analyse

%This paper concentrates on the hierarchical model: the analysis
%phases (symtom abstraction) and {\fgs} are dealt with
%in \cite{symptom_ex}.
This methodology, Failure Mode Modular De-Composition (FMMD) provides
a rigorous method for creating a failure mode model of
a SYSTEM from the bottom up starting with {\bc} level failure modes.
The FMMD process in outline is that,
components are collected into functional groups, which are analysed from a failure mode perspective,
and then a failure mode behaviour for each particular {\fg} is determined.
From this failure mode behaviour we can now treat the {\fg}
as a component or `black~box', with a known set of failure modes.
We can thus create a new component, a {\dc}, that we can use in place
of the functional group in our design.
%
By collecting {\dcs} into {\fgs} and analysing these into higher level {\dcs} a
hierarchy is naturally formed. This hierarchy is termed an `FMMD failure mode tree'.
From the FMMD failure mode trees,
modular re-usable sections of safety critical systems,
and accurate, statistical estimation for fault frequency can be derived automatically.

%and accurate, statistical estimation for fault frequency can be derived/
can be extracted automatically.
Thus FMMD supports re-use of analysed design sections.
The failure mode relationships, when traced, are of the form of
a directed acyclic graph. SYSTEM or top level failure modes
can be traced back to the base components that can cause them.
This means that components that may cause more than one SYSTEM failure
are handled naturally by the FMMD methodology.
FMMD provides the means to trace the causes of dangerous detected and dangerous undetected faults.
FMMD provides the means to produce cut-sets, minimal cut-sets, FTA diagrams, FMECA and FMEDA models, from
