6. List the possible failure modes (use of a fault tree is optional) for the defined product as a system and for all sub-systems.
7. Complete the FMEA Worksheet starting at the failure mode level ( If you can't download this modified version then I will have it available for you on Thursday)
8. Create a Validation Test Plan(s) that addresses the potential failure modes.
9. As a team, discuss conclusions stemming from completion of Validation Test Plan. Be prepared to present your test plan to the class.
