Abstract                                

The research seeks to address the most prominent models in diagnosing and evaluating risks represented by the Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (FMEA) model, which is an efficient method to increase reliability and safety by eliminating possible failure patterns. It also aims at assessing the seriousness of these patterns and arranging them according to their degree of severity and taking corrective measures that lead to getting rid of them as they pose a great risk to the work of organizations. Moreover, the research aims to develop a good methodology to assess the risks that make up the FMEA model by identifying the critical risks that affect the work of the Mosul gas station and arranging them according to the degree of their severity and trying to find logical explanations and methods of treatment. By using a checklist prepared to include failure patterns according to the FMEA model and calculating the Risk Priority Number (RPN) by multiplying three risk factors: Severity (S), Occurrence (O) and Detection (D) for each of the failure modes. According to the findings of the researcher, there is a plant’s obsolescence and the  weakness of the material and technical capabilities, led to the weakness of the  technological innovation, which is the most important factor. The researcher presented many recommendations, perhaps the most prominent of which is the need for the Mosul gas power station to adopt modern technologies and to supply the station with units with high technological characteristics that improve work efficiency and reduce the effort and time required for work.
