Introduction
- A Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Module is a used for identifying potential failure modes in a system and classifying them according to their severity values.
- A FMECA is usually carried out progressively in two parts:
- Identifying failure modes and their effects (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis- FMEA).
- Ranking failure modes using their effects according to the combination of severity and the probability of that failure mode occurring (Criticality Analysis – FMECA).
Key Features
Our Reliability Workbench FMECA and Fault Tree+ modules have been tested and certified by SGS-TÜV as suitable for safety analyses according to ISO26262.
Some of the FMEA Software features are summarized below:
- Creation of Apportionment library and Phrase library for fast data entry
- Effects of the failure modes can be automatically traced through to system level
- Automatically severities can be assigned and there will be automatic criticality calculations
- Multiple failure effects permitted for a single failure mode
- Failure detection filter facility and User-definable severity category libraries
- Spelling checker and global text replacement for the easy convenience
- Sub-projects may be linked to a master project
- Automatic data transfer from prediction modules
- Drag and drop components to the RBD module
- Automatic fault tree construction facility
Benefits
- The FMECA module allows the customers to construct the FMEA and FMECA in the required standards.
- The FMECA Module is its ability to automatically trace failure effects, severity values and failure causes through the system hierarchy.
- Failure rate and criticality values are automatically calculated by the program.
- The FMECA Software Module will also filter detectable and non-detectable failures in reports
- Able to determine the ratio between the frequency of detectable failures and total failures.
- Apportionment libraries and Phrase libraries make an added advantage to FMECA building in the software.
- Automatic conversion from FMECA module to RBD, Fault Tree, Allocation.
