FMECA/FMEA Programs
1629A FMECA ( Management Sciences) Features include full database manager
with windows for data entry, user defined reports. 1629A criticality reports,
multi-phase missions, full code book system (user codes). Multi-failure
modes for individual components and functions, built in failure mode frequency
database, graphics front end and database manager, FMECA data manipulator/translator.
Outputs include summation of failure rates for computation of probabilities,
mission and system failure effects reports.
APQP Builder is a fast, effective tool for the creation of FMEA's, DVP&R's
and PCP's. APQP Builder stores potential failure modes, and potential effects
for later reuse. Quickly sort and email report snapshots to colleagues.
Analyze FMEA criticality, and create Severity/Occurrence Scatter Plots(SOSP's),using
component FMEA data. APQP Builder also creates CPT's (Cause Priority Tables).
The CPT is a valuable analysis tool which tables the number a times a particular
potential cause may result in a potential failure mode. APQP Builder uses
the DFMEA criteria to quickly create DVP&R's (test plans) on the fly.
PCP's can be created from PFMEA data. APQP Builder also supports system,
sub-system and component DFMEA's. In North America APQP Builder is available
from Quality Associates International Incorporated

AQUA 2 (Omnex)
The program generates, maintains, and tracks design and process FMEAs,
process flows, control plans, launch schedules, plant floor documentation,
production part approval process documents, etc. The program 2 keeps all
of the information in the documents linked-making a change in one document
will update all other documents affected by the change. The program supports
all of the standard automotive company standards, and allows customization
of document formats as needed.
AQUA-FMEA [Advanced Quality Assurance FMEA] (OMNEX Engineering and Management)
Facilitates data entry for failure modes, process operations, and blueprint
data. Package can be used alone or integrated with process flow and control
plan modules.
CARE® FMECA particularly allows you to do traditional FMECA, defined,
for example, in MIL-STD-1629A. For each component failure user should define
the parent (next higher level) effect, even if it is not caused
directly, but via many other components of the same level.
Only parent failure mode may be considered as failure effect,
not transition from one good mode to another. Only failure modes of the
lowest components (leaves) may be initial (internal) causes of each system
failure. Other (composite) blocks may only pass the effect to the system
level.
If there are real effects in the Product tree which do not satisfied
these rules (that is, the Product tree does not reflect all functional
effects), user cannot use the Product tree for FMECA, it should build a
special Functional tree according to this rules.
In addition to traditional FMECA, CARE® provides more flexible
and powerful capabilities to make your work easier, more visual, faster
and to serve more practical cases. It allows you:
To take into account Next brother Effects
and causes, not only effects to parent and to considerGood
Modes as well as Failure modes, as failure conductor.
To use Pareto Criticality Matrix Ranking (Pareto CMR) in Addition to
MIL-STD-1629A CMR.
Failmode (Mitchell & Gothier)

to MIL-STD- 1629A. Includes standard phrase library, hierarchical modeling,
failure mode library, apportions failure rates to MIL-HDBK-338. Simple
menu and form input. Severity multiplier for relevant criticality level,
user specified worksheet summaries, context sensitive help, and up to 24
failure modes per component.
Failure Modes and Effects (FMEA) Software (JBF Associates)
This program helps in the efficient performance of FMEAs. The software
allows the user to track failure modes and the effects of failures, store
and access libraries of relevant safeguards, and generate reports from
data entered. In addition to performing simple calculations to determine
the frequency and consequence categories of particular failure modes (based
on risk matrixes), the program can display histograms.
Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis - Maint. Info. (Probabilistic
Software)
This program performs an automated FMECA in accordance with MIL-STD-1629A,
Notice 2, Tasks 101, 102, and 103.
Minimal amount of writing in of data. Phrase Library minimizes clerical
errors by the typist. Phrase Library ensures consistent worksheet terminology.
Easy analysis of the complete set of work sheets. Automatic cross-referencing
of entries. Documentation and on-line help so comprehensive that no specialized
training is required. Ability to link to CAD and other external systems.
User friendliness especially for unskilled computer users.
FME (Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis Program) (Powertronic
Systems)
Program includes implementation of MIL-STD-1629 data entry and reporting
as well as data transfer to MIL-STD-1388-2A/2B. The program aids in documenting
possible failure modes and their probabilities, tracing the causes of failures,
and documenting the effects of failures with regard to the mission and
safety requirements. This includes the documentation of all catastrophic
and critical failure modes. The program allows for performing analysis
in a top-bottom or bottom-up approach.
FMEA/AutoSteve
AutoSteve simulates the behavior of electrical circuits and automatically
produces an FMEA report that describes the effect of failures on the circuit's
functionality. It provides visual feedback of circuit operation to verify
correct behavior and to illustrate faulty behavior. It detects sneak paths
with high accuracy and minimal effort. It integrates with your ECAD tool
to reuse information.
AutoSteve uses qualitative simulation to perform FMEA; therefore, models
are easy to build and don't require the detail necessary for numerical
models.
A key benefit of this approach is that the FMEA can be generated earlier
in the design lifecycle, at a time where it is cost effective to make changes
to the design in light of the contents of the report.
