It is worth defining clearly the term part here.
Geoffry Hall writing in Space Craft Systems Engineering~\cite{scse}[p.619], defines it thus:
``{Part(definition)}---The Lowest level of assembly, beyond which further disassembly irrevocably destroys the item''.
In the field of electronics a resistor, capacitor and op-amp would fit this definition of a `part'.
Failure modes for part types can be found in the literature~\cite{fmd91}\cite{mil1991}.

\item {\bc} - is taken to mean a `part' as defined above~\cite{scse}[p.619]. We should be able to define a set of failure modes for every {\bc}.
\item {\fm} - failure mode - the ways in which a component can fail
\item {\fg} - a collection of components chosen to perform a particular task
\item {\em symptom} - a failure mode of a functional group caused by one or more of its component failure modes.
\item {\dc} - a new component derived from an analysed {\fg}
