A robust FMEA feature should guide users through the industry-standard AIAG-VDA 7-Step Process: What is FMEA? Failure Mode & Effects Analysis - ASQ
: The impact of the failure on the end user or system (e.g., overheating, abnormal shutdown).
: A structured worksheet to catalog:
: Tools to assign responsibility and deadlines for corrective actions aimed at reducing high-priority risks. Standard 7-Step Workflow
To provide a complete FMEA solution, the feature should include the following structural elements: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
: A standard mechanism to rate each failure mode on a scale of 1 to 10 based on: Severity (S) : How serious the consequences are.
: The likelihood that current controls will catch the failure before it reaching the customer. Prioritization Engine : Risk Priority Number (RPN) : Automatically calculated as to provide a preliminary priority list. A robust FMEA feature should guide users through
: The specific way a system or component fails to meet its intended function (e.g., fracture, electrical short).
