What Does FCD Stand For?
FCD stands for Fault Consequence Digraph
FCD, or Fault Consequence Digraph, is a graphical tool used in risk assessment and reliability engineering to represent the relationships between potential faults in a system and their corresponding consequences. The digraph visually maps out how specific faults can lead to various outcomes, facilitating the identification and analysis of risks, prioritization of mitigation efforts, and enhancement of decision-making processes in system design and management.
