Centralized Data Storage and Ability to Organize Analyses Based on System Configuration
Xfmea offers centralized data storage and enables multiple users to work cooperatively on analysis projects. You can define configurable settings for the entire organization so that all system users follow consistent analysis and reporting formats. You also have the option to limit access to specific information based on permission levels defined for each user account. The ability to define the system configuration in a hierarchical tree structure provides a flexible and intuitive way to manage analysis information at the system, assembly and/or component level.
Store Analysis Data in Access, SQL Server or Oracle Databases
With the release of Version 5, Xfmea has added support for Oracle databases (Oracle 10g/11g). The software now has a single interface that offers the choice to store analysis data in a Standard database (Microsoft Access) or a more robust Enterprise database (SQL Server or Oracle). If you purchase an Xfmea Enterprise license, you will be able to work with both database types.
Also new in Version 5, Standard databases can now support all of the features that are available for Enterprise databases, including the option to manage user accounts with permissions based on access level and/or project, as well as the personalized My Portal window, which provides quick access to the analysis information that is important to each user.
Extensive Customization Options
Xfmea provides predefined profiles that make it easy to configure the analysis workspace to fit the major FMEA reporting standards (such as SAE J1739, AIAG and MIL-STD-1629A). In addition, the software offers flexible capabilities to customize any of the sample profiles or create your own settings to meet the specific needs of your organization. Some of the configuration options include the ability to:
- Define the data fields you want to capture and display, including your own user-defined text, date and number fields or customized drop-down lists.
- Set the classifications, categories and other built-in drop-down lists throughout the software.
- Determine the rating scales and other criteria that will be used for risk assessment.
