HW/SW CO-Verification -- FMEA Tool Version: V.1.1

Description: The Failure Mode & Effects Analysis Tool (FMEA Tool) is a graphical safety analysis environment, based on Failure Mode and Effect Analysis technique. It covers safety analysis on the hardware and software parts of a real-time system. The tool provides a graphical user interface where the user-developer can design the whole system in the form of appropriate system organisational diagrams.
In each node of a system organisation diagram the user can insert component information, as well as failures and relations among failures. After loading of all the needed data, the next step is to perform analysis and to provide the final failures. The results can be stored in various formats (so as to be analyzed by MS Access, Excel etc.) or plain text. This facilitates readability from other FMEA graphs or from other tools.

Preventing Failures through Risk Analysis

http://www.pickert.de/fmea.htm (in German)

RQM-FMEA ist ein Baustein zu Erstellung von FMEAs (Fehler-Möglichkeit- und -Einfluss-Analyse), die zur Ermittlung von Fehlermöglichkeiten am Produkt (System-FMEA Produkt, Konstruktions-FMEA) oder im Herstellprozess eines Produkts (System FMEA Prozess, Prozess-FMEA) verwendet wird.

Eine FMEA beschränkt sich auf mögliche Einzelfehler und wird durch die Systemanalyse, die Funktionsanalyse und die Fehlerbaumanalyse ergänzt.
Die RQM-FMEA greift auf die Qualitätshistorie eines Teils zu und kann damit in einer FMEA Hülseneinträge generieren, die dann nur noch ausgefüllt werden müssen.
Unter Zuhilfenahme der so (oder manuell) erstellten FMEA können erkannte Merkmale, die der Prüfung bedürfen definiert und in der Prüfplanung übernommen werden.

AutoSteve simulates the behavior of electrical circuits and automatically produces an FMEA report that describes the effect of failures on the circuit's functionality. It provides visual feedback of circuit operation to verify correct behavior and to illustrate faulty behavior. It detects sneak paths with high accuracy and minimal effort. It integrates with your ECAD tool to reuse information. AutoSteve uses qualitative simulation to perform FMEA; therefore, models are easy to build and don't require the detail necessary for numerical models. A key benefit of this approach is that the FMEA can be generated earlier in the design lifecycle, at a time where it is cost effective to make changes to the design in light of the contents of the report.

http://www.bqr.com/FMECA.htm

The Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) module of the CARE® Suite, introduces new concepts in FMECA:

Good Mode - In contrast with the traditional FMECA, where only Failure Modes could be described, today you can also assign Good Modes to your project, in order to get the actual situation of your project.

NBE - Next Brother Effect – Now you can also assign Good Modes and Failure Modes not only the vertically, but also horizontally, in order to describe for example, the relation between two blocks.

Internal Cause - Now you can assign the cause for a component's failure, for example, Led failed, internal cause - Led burnt out.

New Graphical User Interface - CARE® FMECA is NOT an Excel spreadsheet. As shown below, FMECA comes with a new graphical 'Explorer' view, with different colors for specific Rankings. Also in the middle screen, Failures Modes and Good Modes are shown in different colors, and arrows for Next Brother Effect, Next Higher Effect and causes.

Knowledge Base Approach to Integrated Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (IFMEA)

To compete in today’s marketplace, manufacturers must eliminate all severe malfunctions and possible failures from their products and manufacturing processes. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic set of activities intended to identify and help eliminate potential concern. To yield the most valuable results, an FMEA must be performed before a design or process failure has been unknowingly incorporated into the product. Moreover, modern standards and regulations require designers and manufacturers to formally prove that all potential malfunctions have been eliminated or put under control.

Up-front time spent in doing a comprehensive FMEA, at the stage when products/processes changes can be easily and inexpensively implemented, will obviate late change crises. FMEA professionals know that improvement is an ongoing process. That’s why FMEA Knowledge Base (FMEA-KB) is designed to support the following activities:

Continuous improvement Your product or process must always improve, due to competitors products improvement. Before making decisions on how to improve, you need to review previous suggestions and analyze their advantages and drawbacks—to avoid the ones that failed, and consider the ones that were not implemented.

Efficiency through similarity Frequently, the knowledge gained while improving one product or process can be applied to improve another. FMEA-KB keeps the knowledge organized so that you can make quick evaluations regarding the portability of solutions.

Knowledge mine Ideas, recommendations, experience, success—these are acquired constantly, not just in weekly quality meetings or brainstorming sessions. You need a mechanism to constantly update, review, and evaluate experts’ input into the knowledge base.

If your organization needs or performs any of these activities, then Professional FMEA (ProFMEA) with its knowledge base can help you significantly improve your product/process performance and quality.

Tired Of Writing FMEA's & Control Plans?

Quality Plus WILL WRITE THEM FOR YOU!!!

There are many software packages that automatically generate FMEA's. Upon closer examination, it is discovered that these programs are setup in a spreadsheet format. The user looks at his or her computer screen and sees a blank FMEA staring back at them. These programs are an improvement over past methods in much the same way the word processor is an improvement over a typewriter, and there are definite benefits to the user. It is our feeling that spreadsheet programs don't go quite far enough. The user is still responsible for inserting the correct information into the correct columns. This requires the design or process engineer to have a knowledge of the structure and function of FMEA's.

Quality Plus requires only that the design engineer has a knowledge of the product he or she is designing, and that the process engineer has a knowledge of the process that will manufacture the product. our screens don't look like FMEA's . They consist of simple questions about the product or process. The user answers these questions and Quality Plus generates an AIAG-compliant FMEA in seconds!
