Fault management planning support: Fault management viewer (FMV)

The Fault Management Viewer (FMV) is a tool with multiple visualization models (viewers) to assist with planning fault management (FM) development. It provides new ways of visualizing FM concepts and data. Current tools to assist FM development include fault trees, success trees, and tools using System Modeling Language (SysML). Our team designed FMV to align with NASA's FM Handbook, a design reference mission, and our team's experiences with past FM development support projects. The benefits of developing this approach and tool include improved FM quality, efficiency in developing FM measures, and a more cost-effective expenditure of FM resources on failures that are most important to control. The presentation will include extensive screenshots showing how model-based fault management system engineering data can support these development resource decisions.
