Xfmea Product Features

ReliaSoft’s Xfmea software supports the major industry standards for all types of FMEA analysis, including Design FMEA (DFMEA), Process FMEA (PFMEA), FMECA, and others. The software also provides extensive customization options to fit your organization's particular FMEA analysis procedures. The database-driven software tool includes numerous features to facilitate data entry/management, to help you find and use relevant data from existing analyses and to present analysis information in a variety of ways that effectively support decision-making.

Support for All Types of FMEA and FMECA

In addition to providing predefined profiles for all major reporting standards (such as SAE J1739, AIAG FMEA and MIL-STD-1629A) and FMEA types (such as Design FMEA, Process FMEA, System FMEA and FMECA), Xfmea provides flexible capabilities to customize the interface and reports to meet the specific needs of your organization. This includes the ability to select and name the data fields you want to capture and display; set classifications, categories, priorities and other menu options; determine rating scales and criteria, etc.

Multiple Views of the Analysis Information

Xfmea allows you to enter and view FMEA data in three complementary views: the traditional "worksheet" format, an intuitive hierarchical tree view or a sortable list filtered by record type (e.g. Causes ranked by RPN or Actions by Due Date). You can easily switch back and forth among the views in order to display the information in the best way to facilitate your current activity.

Easy to Find and Re-Use Existing Analysis Data or Phrases from Predefined Libraries

By storing your analysis information in a relational database, Xfmea enables you to build and manage valuable, keyword searchable "knowledge bases" of existing FMEA information that can be shared throughout your organization. The software makes it easy to find and re-use descriptions from any existing analysis or to select phrases from predefined libraries. When applicable, this information can be sorted and/or filtered to help you find the data you need. You also have the option to quickly import system configuration or existing FMEA data from outside data sources (using predefined Excel® templates).

Extensive Actions Management Capabilities

Xfmea helps the team to track the progress on recommended actions and "close the loop" to assure that improvements are implemented. Options include the ability to send automated notifications via e-mail and to generate flexible reports and charts that can be used to track progress on completing assigned tasks.

Reports, Queries and Charts to Support Decision-Making

Xfmea provides a complete set of FMEA, FMECA and related reports, graphical charts and flexible ad-hoc queries that allow you to display analysis information in the most effective ways to support decision-making.

APQP Integration with Related Analyses

Xfmea enables you to transfer relevant data between your Design FMEAs and Process FMEAs and also provides integrated utilities for related analyses, such as Design Verification Plans (DVP&Rs), Design Reviews Based on Failure Mode (DRBFMs), Process Flow Diagrams and Control Plans.
