Easy error prevention: reduce costs through faster error analysis
Quality knowledge
Only an up-to-date and well-maintained Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is truly effective. Every entry into this central knowledge source expands the know-how in the field of quality. With FMEA, you can conveniently create and update all system, process and design FMEAs according to standards. You can carry out the risk analysis according to the AIAG & VDA method in seven steps (planning and preparation, structural analysis, functional analysis, defect analysis, risk analysis, optimization, results documentation). Integrating FMEA into the QMS software leads to significant synergy between FMEA, inspection planning and action and complaint management. Avoid repeated errors in the future and let your know-how flow into the development of new parts. Consistently close the quality control cycle with FMEA. Easy to use similes
Inheritance technology and the reuse of integrated building blocks exploit similarities between products or components within a modular family of parts. Share your knowledge of defects everywhere: With FMEA, changes entered in one place are automatically transferred to all relevant parts – safely and easily.
Automatic generation of characteristics
SRequirements rights automatically imports specifications from all common CAD formats and PDF files into the Quality Center. This makes centrally defined requirements available to all modules, e.g. when creating FMEA, and can be taken over as characteristics and supplemented if necessary.
Causes and effects
FMEA is the most important tool for preventing production failures – the quality center refers to the FMEA in case of internal or external complaints, making it unnecessary to create and maintain additional failure catalogs. When new production failures and complaints are recorded, the person responsible for the FMEA is automatically informed and the FMEA can be updated.
Interconnected knowledge about errors
Evaluate in the defect network which consequences of the defect result from the defect and whether it has a significant impact. This knowledge is extremely valuable because you can automatically classify all defects in the defect network based on the detected “top defects”. This also ensures greater transparency: The Quality Center uses the defect classifications to show whether the classification of functions and properties is consistent and to detect any discrepancies.
Overview of all actions
Track and control all defined actions and their effectiveness with integrated FMEA action management. The subsequent results are automatically transferred back to the FMEA, so you can reliably compare forecast and actual.
Integrated risk analysis
You get effective support when considering risks: Evaluation of the failure chain with priority of measures via saved risk catalogs according to the AIAG and VDA guidelines. The individual risk catalogs can also be supplemented with plant-specific explanatory texts. Within the FMEA, you can filter and visualize the failure chains including all actions according to the priority of the actions.
Individual design of print sets
Using the integrated report designer, you can rework the supplied standard reports to your requirements. In addition to customizing them to suit your corporate design, you can also add/remove table columns or fields.
