Step 1: Planning and Preparation

Project plan and DFMEA activities

The integrated action management tool provides: the mapping of the 5 T's, project plan, team composition, Milestones and tracking of all organizational tasks related to the FMEA project.

Use of knowledge already gained (lessons learned)

Using knowledge and reusing existing FMEAs is a central recommendation of the working group. e1ns uses a template management process with versioning, systematic updating and automatic user notification. Use of knowledge already gained (lessons learned)

Steps 2-4: Structure, function and failure analysis

System analysis
The methodology of e1ns.architect allows you to systematically and very quickly build a model of the system architecture and create the functional and error network. Without media disruption, requirements are formulated in a mutual process, their functional implementation is described and possible failures are documented.

Visualization
Alternatively, the system model is built and edited using the block diagram (SysML) or, in the case of PFMEAs, using the process flow diagram.

FMEA forms
All data from the system analysis automatically fills the FMEA form. The new harmonization forms are available in e1ns. The modular method concept from e1ns enables the configuration of any forms and data types adapted to the needs of a company.

Step 5: Risk analysis

Task Priority (AP) replaces the RPN
With the new FMEA forms in e1ns, you use the recommended assessment catalogs and use task priority (AP) to identify when action is required.

Step 6: Optimization

Tracking measures and evaluating effectiveness
Project managers organize and track measures via the integrated measures management e1ns.actions.
Those responsible for measures receive regular information about their measures by email or use the overviews on the web for processing.
