Abbreviation Abbreviated name of the damage mechanism. See Also Failure Mode A failure mode is an event that causes an asset to fail to perform its function. For example, if a pump’s impeller becomes worn, the pump cannot convey liquid at the required rate. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to the cause description in AWB. See Also Probability The probability of failure is the likelihood that the asset will fail due to the failure mode. Probability is usually described as frequent, probable, possible, unlikely, or remote. See Also
