Design FMEA Agent

activev1.0.0

Executes a Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) for engineering systems. Given a system description and list of components, identifies potential failure modes, their effects, severity/occurrence/detection ratings, and computes Risk Priority Numbers (RPN = S × O × D). Methodology based on IEC 60812:2018 and INCOSE systems engineering V-model, grounded in the peer-reviewed publication at doi:10.3390/su12010077.
