Risk Assessment Methods
You can configure the analysis project to fit any of the risk assessment methodologies that are commonly employed in conjunction with FMEA.
Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs)
Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) are calculated automatically based on your selections from fully configurable rating scales. Xfmea also supports related metrics, including SxO (Severity x Occurrence), SOD (Severity, Occurrence, Detection) and SD (Severity, Detection).
Priority Highlights
The Priority Highlights feature allows you to highlight issues in the interface and report/query output based on specified criteria. In Version 5, the software offers a new, customizable Risk Ranking Logic option that allows you to define both the priority levels and the logic used to assign particular issues to each level. For example, you might wish to mark an issue as "Requires Action" if the RPN is => 200 OR the Severity rating is => 9.
Criticality Analysis
Xfmea continues to provide full support for both quantitative and qualitative Criticality Analysis patterned after MIL-STD-1629A.
