6.12

An example of a function from the System FMEA of the all - terrain bicycle stated,

“ The bicycle must provide safe and reliable transportation, including safe stopping distances and safe operation under all customer usage conditions as defi ned in the all - terrain technical specifi cation. ” As noted in Section 6.2.2 , this example of function is worded quite generally, and in practice, it may be advisable to break it down to more discrete functions, which aid in defi ning failure modes.

Refer to Appendix C, “ All - Terrain Bicycle Documents, ” and the “ Checklist of function types ” in Section 6.2.2 of this chapter. Brainstorm three additional primary functions of the all - terrain bicycle.
