This paper describes how the FMMD methodology
can be applied throughout the lifecycle of a product,
with minimal impact to the cost of re-analysis.
% what I did
Looking at SYSTEMS ENGINEERING concepts.
FMMD static design analysis tool, but can be applied to product life cycle
Becomes a living analysis tool
% what I found
Alterations required in a failure mode model arise from
new failure modes discovered in base components, new failure mode behaviour observed
in {\dc}s, and environmantal effects found that interact with the failure mode model.
% conclusion
FMMD analysis can be updated with these three effects
and we can apply procedures that will automaically force
the uncoverig of new possible SYSTEM failure modes.

\section{Three sources of Alteration/addition to the FMMD Model}
\subsection{discovering a `new' failure mode in a component}
Give general idea of how a new failure mode can be integrated into the model.
How it may cause a new symptom but may not.
How it will generally be limited to small sections of th FMMD tree.
Give specific example, pretend a new failure mode is discovered in a SCHOTTKY diode.
Often an electronic component will have a new failure mode `discovered'
I am using as an example a diode which has an exponential relationship
with temperature and reverse leakage current. This is
a failure mode that would not be initially considered in a design.
But when combined with high value resistors could give incorrect voltage readings in some circuits.
I how the FMMD model can have this new failure mode added and what
impact it has on the FMMD data model.
\subsection{Discovering New Failure Mode behaviour in a {\dc}}
Ref Nacy Leveson, system eng.
A sub-system or system has its own behaviour etc
These may be traced to combinations of afailure modes
but may be undiscovered in initial analysis.
\subsection{New or additional evironmental Conditions}
An environmental effect may be found to affect a sub-system.
Show how this vcan be retro fitted into a working/live FMMD model.
