Increase Safety on Product Design

Failure Mode and Effect analysis is a major activity in the context of safety processes. DFMEA is performed during the design stage of a product development life-cycle. With the growing complexity of products, model based systems engineering has provided a solution to improve product quality by better defining and analyzing the architecture of the system.

In the same spirit model-based and data-based FMEA performed at different life-cycle stages of product development, starting from high level architecture, provides a reliable and efficient way of failure mode and effect analysis. Keeping FMEA directly linked with actual data in real-time removes the disconnect that exists between data and the analysis, and makes it significantly easier to keep the analysis in sync with evolving data and maintain traceability.

Dassault Systèmes model and data based FMEA solution provides:

• Flow-down from architecture to implementation and manufacturing
• Flexible and configurable templates
• Interoperability of various tools, for requirements, risk and failure creation and analysis
• Access to inherent and heterogeneous traceability and impact analysis
• All models and artifacts are life-cycle controlled allowing for reuse with history and configuration management
• Actionable analytics including field data, test and measurements, customer issues
