ReliaSoft XFMEA Risk Discovery drives System FMEA Plan

ReliaSoft XFMEA risk discovery drives system FMEA plan at agricultural equipment OEM

This presentation describes different ReliaSoft XFMEA features used within a New Tractor program to identify high-risk systems/subsystems. Risk discovery rating was created based on several factors, such as new technology, new application, etc. The Risk Discovery parameters were modified to meet the customer’s Risk Assessment needs.

Challenge

• New tractor programs create high risk to product quality and reliability
• Identifying, communicating, and mitigating these high risk areas is critical
• Communication across global engineering community can be tricky

Solution

• Risk discovery assessment to identify critical modules in new tractor program
• P-diagram and FMEA block diagram integrates inputs to system FMEA
• FMEA classifies high risk areas and actions taken to reduce risks
• Store all records in one location to facilitate using FMEA across different geographical regions

Value

• Identify critical areas of the new product and prioritize resources accordingly
• Reduce overall risk and create robust design
• Increase engineering efficiency through improved communication
