Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a tool that begins at the point of failure and works back through the process to the components. FTA is used to identify the root causes of system failures by constructing a logical diagram of the various possible causes. This method helps in understanding the paths leading to a failure and identifying corrective actions. Reference: "Reliability, Maintainability, and Risk" by David J. Smith, which describes fault tree analysis and its application in failure analysis.
