    Understand

    Hazard identification, failure behavior, and the operational context of the system.

  2. 02

    Analyse

    Data preparation, spatial analysis, criticality, and consequence mapping.

  3. 03

    Model

    FMEA, FTA, reliability blocks, and simulation models of system behavior.

  4. 04

    Decide

    Decision support, maintenance planning, and scenario-informed operations.

Vessel & ship systems
