\subsection{FMEA - General Criticism}

\begin{itemize}
   \item FMEA type methodologies were designed for simple electro-mechanical systems of the 1940's to 1960's.
   \item Reasoning Distance - component failure to system level symptom
   \item State explosion - impossible to perform rigorously
   \item Difficult to re-use previous analysis work
   \item Very Difficult to model simultaneous failures.
  
\end{itemize}

\subsection{FMEA - Better Metodology - Wish List}

\begin{itemize}
  
    \item State explosion  
   \item  Rigorous (total coverage)
    \item Reasoning Traceable  
    \item Re-useable
  \item Simultaneous failures
