FMEA and FMECA Software

Product Overview

DFMEA, PFMEA and Beyond...
Expert Support for All Types of FMEA and FMECA

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) are methodologies designed to identify potential failure modes for a product or process, to assess the risk associated with those failure modes, to rank the issues in terms of importance and to identify and carry out corrective actions to address the most serious concerns.

ReliaSoft's Xfmea software facilitates the FMEA / FMECA process and provides flexible data management and reporting capabilities.

Support for Major Industry Guidelines plus...
Extensive Customization Options
Xfmea supports the major industry standards for all types of FMEA / FMECA analysis, including Design FMEA (DFMEA), Process FMEA (PFMEA), Machinery FMEA (MFMEA), Criticality Analysis (FMECA), and more...

In addition to providing pre-defined profiles for the major industry standard reporting formats (such as SAE J1739, AIAG FMEA-3 and MIL-STD-1629A), the software provides extensive capabilities to customize the interface and the reports. This includes the ability to rename fields, hide/display fields, customize the RPN rating criteria and other options to allow you to determine the configuration for analysis and reporting.

Intuitive Interface, Easy Data Entry, Time-Saving Shortcuts
Xfmea provides two complementary views to facilitate data entry. The worksheet view displays the analysis in the traditional tabular format for FMEA reports. The intuitive hierarchical view displays the item configurations at-a-glance along with the related functions, failures, effects, causes, controls and actions defined in your analysis.

For consistency and to save effort, the software allows you to re-use descriptions from any existing analysis or to select phrases from pre-defined phrase libraries. The software also provides:

Integration with Weibull++, ALTA and BlockSim.
Ability to link or attach other files to the analysis, such as process flow charts, design drawings, etc.
Ability to copy/paste and import/export sections among different analyses.
Ability to import failure mode data from Excel or Ford's FMEAplus.
And much more...

Xfmea Streamlines the Analysis and Reporting for All Types of FMEA / FMECA

Risk Assessment: RPN and Criticality Analysis
Xfmea supports the Risk Priority Number (RPN) ranking method as well as Criticality Analysis. This includes automatic RPN calculation for both initial and revised RPNs, as well as automatic "roll-up" capability to calculate RPNs for other analysis levels (such as Item or Failure Mode) based on the RPNs for the potential causes of failure. The software is shipped with an extensive array of pre-defined rating scales for Severity, Occurrence and Detection and also allows you to create and manage your own rating scales. In addition, the software automatically calculates Mode and Item Criticalities and generates charts and reports of the criticality analysis. These features fully support the risk assessment requirements for SAE J1739, AIAG FMEA-3, MIL-STD-1629A and other FMEA / FMECA standards.

Actions Management and Support for Team Effort
Xfmea allows you to fully define and manage the recommended actions identified by the analysis in order to close the loop on corrective actions. Action management options include automated notifications via e-mail as well as useful reports and charts for progress tracking. Detailed reports on current controls are also available.

The software has been designed to allow multiple users to work cooperatively on the analysis and provides flexible techniques to share portions of an analysis with other users as well as revision tracking mechanisms, the ability to limit access to authorized users and more.

Automated Reporting and Charts
Xfmea provides a complete set of print-ready reports for your Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) or Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). In addition to the standard FMEA and FMECA spreadsheets, you can generate summaries for items, failures, effects, causes, recommended actions, current controls and other reports. You can also generate a variety of pareto (bar), pie and matrix charts for graphical presentation of the analysis.

You can choose to generate each report in Microsoft Word or Excel, which provides maximum flexibility for customization and generation of HTML and PDF versions of the reports, as desired.
