Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a natural continuation, and in many cases inseparable part of the Reliability Analysis. Previously a separate software package, FMECA is now a fully-integrated RAM Commander module. The FMECA module uses a product tree previously created by the user for reliability analysis purposes.

The RAM Commander FMECA module is suitable for both hardware and functional approaches to FMECA, and is fully compliant with MIL-STD-1629 A, commercial standards, and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. The RAM Commander FMECA module makes the FMEA process easy and visible: the product tree and the correspondence to each item sequence of Failure Modes = > Next Higher Effects = > End Effects are totally visible in the same window.

Extensive use of FMECA Libraries facilitates the process even more and contributes to the accuracy of the performed analyses and reports. You can perform both the FMEA and FMECA calculating failure mode ratios, conditional probabilities and item criticality numbers.
