Computer-based method for updating risk analysis parameters associated to an FMEA risk analysis of a technical system, the method comprising the steps of: a. Retrieving stored data from the FMEA analysis of the technical system, said stored data including: - a set of process steps associated with the technical system, - a set of failure modes associated with said process steps, - a value of an expected failure occurrence rate (Ro) and/or of an occurrence associated with at least one given failure mode of said set of failure modes; b. For the at least one given failure mode of said set of failure modes: i. Retrieving incidents from incident reports relative to the use of the technical system subsequently to said FMEA analysis; ii. Associating said given failure mode to those retrieved incidents which are relative to said given failure mode, if any; iii. Classifying each incident associated to said given failure mode, either as an event or as a near event, or optionally as a non-event; iv. Calculating the sum (Ne+Nne) of the number of events (Ne) and of the number of near events (Nne) associated to said given failure mode and which occurred during a given time period (Δt); v. Comparing said sum (Ne+Nne) with the value of Δt·Ro; vi. In the stored data of the FMEA analysis of the technical system, amend the value of the occurrence rate (Ro) and/or of the occurrence associated to said given failure mode in function of the result of the comparison of step b)v. a.
