Case Study: How can FMEA teams use ReliaSoft desktop and web
applications to facilitate analysis?

Teams performing FMEAs can utilize all of the analysis capabilities in ReliaSoft XFMEA (
/reliability-management/xfmea) along with some additional features enabled by SEP (/products
/reliability-management/sep).

XFMEA can send alerts when an assigned action is created, modi�ed or ready to be reviewed. With
SEP, you can also trigger alerts based on the action due date (e.g., send an alert 1 week before the
action is due, then send a reminder every day until the action is complete).

Utilizing FRACAS data when performing FMEAs saves time and leads to more effective risk
assessment. If your organization is using XFRACAS (/products/reliability-management/xfracas
failure reporting and team-based problem resolution, SEP makes it easy to view the �eld failure dat
for a particular part or failure mode.

If SEP is con�gured for “Remote ReliaSoft,” users can launch XFMEA on a remote server without
having to install and update software on each client computer. (There are additional hardware and
license requirements for this feature.)

Managers use the web portal to track progress and sign off on FMEA
versions

When an FMEA is ready to review or approve, the analysis team can copy or e-mail a link to an at-
a-glance summary that the manager can view in any web-enabled device.

You can easily track key indicators such as:

number of failure modes and the percentage fully analyzed

top failure modes
status of assigned actions, with % complete

If the team is using the change log tracking feature in XFMEA, the manager can also use the web
portal to sign off on the controlled analysis version.

Stakeholders use SEP to access lessons learned

For colleagues throughout your organization, SEP provides multiple ways to share the latest analys
and lessons learned… with no desktop applications installed.

The web portal shows the latest FMEA, custom dashboards and �nalized report documents that ar
saved with the analysis project.

Users can also run saved queries for any FMEA or group of FMEAs, to get customized output such
actions that are not complete or failure modes with high risk.

Results

Implementing SEP together with other ReliaSoft applications provides convenient, mobile access t
key reliability analysis results and helps to facilitate cooperation across different areas of expertise
In addition to the FMEA solution described here, you can also use SEP to share selected results fro
Weibull analyses, reliability growth testing, system simulations and other reliability studies perform
in Weibull++ (/products/reliability-analysis/weibull), ALTA (/products/reliability-analysis/alta
(/products/reliability-analysis/rga), BlockSim (/products/reliability-analysis/blocksim), RENO
(/products/reliability-analysis/reno) or Lambda Predict (/products/reliability-analysis/lambda-
predict).
