    FMEA meets FTA – Two methods for clarity in complex systems Dipl.-Ing. Albrecht Kern, KernKompete.nz GmbH
    • Motivation from functional safety – why OEMs and suppliers need both methods
    • Methodological similarities and differences – FMEA as a hierarchically structured bottom-up tool (function and fault tree), FTA as a top-down signal path approach; where the two complement each other, where they do not.
    • Synergy & practical benefits – How the combined use of FMEA and FTA creates greater clarity and robustness – and where users must decide which method offers the greatest added value.
    • Example (e.g. automotive E/E system, brake or ADAS) to illustrate the differences.
    • Outlook for AI support: How can AI-supported tools help?
