An Overview of FMEA Types

FMEA Software – What & Why

Answering the key questions about FMEA software tools

What is FMEA?

FMEA, or Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, and is an organized, systematic approach for performing failure analysis on your product, system, or process. FMEAs are consistently one of the most commonly used analysis techniques in the reliability and quality engineer’s toolbox.

When performing a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, analysts consider all possible or potential failure modes; evaluate their associated risk factors based on their level of severity; and then determine ways to prevent, mitigate, or detect those failures deemed most critical. Recommended action plans are then developed and implemented in order to address those failures.

FMEAs are often performed collaboratively with a team of engineers from all product departments. They offer a widely accepted approach for risk assessment and are invaluable for maintaining and continuously improving your quality objectives.

What are the benefits of using FMEA software?

How much would your business be impacted if your product or service fails? To put it another way, how much would it be worth to you to have a tool that helps you to avoid failures before they occur? The answer could very well be that it’s priceless to avoid catastrophic failures that could lead to irreparable damage.

Fortunately, there are analytical software tools available to help you detect, prevent, and mitigate failures of your products, services, and processes. As those associated with ensuring compliance, quality control, or reliability engineering can attest to, failure mode and effects analyses (FMEA) software is a well-known, widely accepted, and beneficial tool for failure and risk assessment. As one of the most popular tools in quality programs, FMEA actually has its roots in the U.S. military’s push to predict and eliminate risks — often associated with quality management improvements for NASA that date back to the 1960s.

Of course, the advent of computers has resulted in great strides in the ability to perform risk evaluation. With increased computing power has come FMEA software that greatly enhances both the effectiveness and accuracy of early failure detection and mitigation.

There are also a multitude of benefits of using FMEA software instead of Excel-based templates. While the Excel approach may suffice for a short period of time for a very small analysis, the limitations of using Excel for FMEA quickly become apparent. Read more about the advantages of FMEA software tools over Excel here and discover why choosing a FMEA tool offer unmatched effectiveness, consistency, and efficiency.

What should I look for in FMEA software?

For the best results when using software for failure mode effects and criticality analyses, selecting an all-in-one package like Relyence FMEA is the recommended choice of professionals. Supporting all types of failure mode analyses — Design FMEAs (DFMEAs), Process FMEAs (PFMEAs), piece-part FMECAs, FMEA-MSRs, Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams, Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Control Plans (PCPs), DVP&R, and even custom analyses — Relyence is your one-stop partner for all your FMEA software needs. Additionally, Relyence provides compliance for all the most widely accepted FMEA standards: AIAG 4th Edition/SAE J1739 and ARP5580, AIAG & VDA (including the use of Foundation FMEAs), and MIL-STD-1629A; and also includes the FMD-2016 failure mode distributions database.

Today’s quality control managers and reliability engineers know that when employing FMEA practices, their choice of software is a critical decision. If the FMEA software tool is too basic, the resulting FMEAs are inconsistent, unmanageable, and slow to perform. If the tool is too complex to use, the FMEA process bogs the team down and results in frustration and poor quality FMEAs.

Including innovative features like the Knowledge Bank for data reuse and synchronization with a foundation FMEA, always-in-sync technology, FMEA Data Autoflow, SmartSuggest, and Failure Direct Connect wrapped in an intuitive interface, FMEA efficiency and automation is maximized. Additionally, included visual tools such as Boundary Diagrams, P-Diagrams, and Function and Failure Nets help to improve system insight and ensure full coverage in your FMEA Worksheets. The Relyence advantage eliminates the manual, poorly controlled days of FMEAs and provides a powerful and well-managed approach for complete FMEA process control. For these reasons and more, Relyence is the tool of choice for FMEA practitioners.
