| Criterion |  Operations Fault Tree Analysis |  Operations Eat the Frog |  Operations Failure Mode and Effects Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For a critical top event with several possible triggers, the method logically models failure paths. It makes visible which combinations of conditions can lead to damage. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. | For a process, product, or service with noticeable failure risks, the method assesses possible failure modes in advance. It directs attention to combinations of occurrence, effect, and detectability. |
