Abstract

Inspired by the concept of the health of the human body, the state of health (SoH) determination of products has been gaining importance for preventive maintenance and product lifetime extension. In electronics, Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimates often focus on temperature as the key ageing parameter. They neglect other influential factors such as humidity and vibration. This article proposes a method for determining product SoH which combines the analysis methods FMMEA and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) for a more relevant identification of the causes and reasons of failures. The proposed method allows the estimation of SoH based on several health indicators and hence takes into consideration several factors of product degradation. The product’s SoH is obtained by aggregating the SoH derived from each single ageing factor through the use of multi-criteria techniques, such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and weighted sum methods. The article discusses this method’s potential and limitations based on insights gained from its initial application to a consumer product.
