In operations research and engineering, a criticality matrix is a representation (often graphical) of failure modes along with their probabilities and severities.
Example edit
For example, an aircraft might have the following matrix:
| Failure mode | Severity | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Collision | High | Low |
| Engine failure | High | Low |
| Ice buildup | Medium | High |
