FMEA

FMEA is used throughout the development process to identify potential causes of design failures. Important areas addressed include: What can go Wrong?, What is the Impact?, What are the Chances of it occurring?, How would we Find Out?, How can we Improve the design?

  • Items from open Triptych worksheets (QFD, AHP, Pugh, TOPSIS, and SDI) can be imported into an FMEA worksheet
  • Standard industry definitions used for Severity (S), Occurrence (O), and Detectability (D) scores on a 1-10 scale
  • Dropdown fields for selecting S, O, and D scores based on number score (1-10), brief or expanded definitions
  • Auto calculation of Risk Priority Number (RPN = S x O x D)
  • Auto calculation of Criticality score (Criticality = S x O)
  • Three-level sorting on any combination of fields
  • Selectable Show/Hide options for any field
  • User defined color-coding of RPN and Criticality scores
  • Merge/Unmerge option for common text on adjacent rows in a field
