Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top down, deductive failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is analyzed using Boolean logic to combine a series of lower-level events. This analysis method is mainly used in the fields of safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems can fail, to identify the best ways to r...

a graphical management tool for describing the cause and effect relationships that result in major failures. The fault or major failure being analyzed is identified as the 'top event.' All of the possible causes of the top event are identified in a tree using 'or' nodes for independent causes and 'and' nodes for multiple causes that must exist conc...
