(100 Marks, 15% of the overall grade)

Conducing a Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) study for a Concept of Gas Snow Blower.Select any existing concept of Gas Snow Blower to perform the DFMEA study and answer the following questions in a report format (See assignment report instructions-2): Develop a design tree diagram for the Overall, Systems and Components levels of the selected Gas Snow Blower (You may need to identify the main systems and components, identify up to 15 components). Identify the functions and functions tree for the overall, systems and components levels of the Gas Snow Blower (identify up to 15 functions and present them in a tree diagram). Identify / list the design potential failures for the identified functions (list up to 15 failures) Select only 3 potential failures from your list and identify the effects and causes for the related functions based on your experience/research of your concept.5. For the selected 3 potential failures, determine the Severity, Occurrence and Detection ratings based on your experience/research of the Gas Snow Blower and the ranking method/scale (criteria) that you determine (Document this in the attached DFMEA template-Excel file) 6. For the selected 3 potential failures, calculate the RPN accordingly, prioritize, record the recommended actions with the responsibility and target dates and re-calculate the RPN assuming that the recommended actions have been implemented
