Formerly a separate package,
Process and Design FMEA is
now fully integrated in RAM Commander.
This software tool performs
Process/Design Potential
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
The uniqueness of the RAM Commander
approach to process/design FMEA is
reflected in the graphical
presentation of the process flow or
product design diagram:

Process & Design FMEA
Decompose the system or process into
components or sub-processes. For each
functional block, define name &
function, enter failure mode causes
and effects manually or from the
libraries. Process & Design FMEA
module provides full graphical and
textual visibility of the Potential
Failure Mode => Cause => Effects
chain.
What is A Potential Failure
Mode?
The manner in which a component,
subsystem, or system could potentially
fail to meet the design intent. The
potential failure mode could also be
the cause of a potential failure mode
in a higher level subsystem or system,
or be the effect of a potential
failure.
Edit cause dialog contains
corrective actions and RPN (risk
priority number)
RAM Commander FMEA module contains
also Decision Making support for
possible recommended corrective
actions brainstorming, recording and
selection. Proposed corrective actions
are recorded, prioritized using
different criterias and selected:
