MODULE 02 — RISK ANALYSIS

Failure Mode &
Effects Analysis

ADeX FMEA is a structured, data-driven risk management platform that identifies potential failure modes, evaluates their effects, and guides preventive action — before failures reach your customers.

Four FMEA Types

ADeX FMEA supports all four internationally recognised FMEA methodologies in a single unified platform.

DFMEA
Design FMEA

Identifies and prevents failure modes in product design before prototyping. Ensures design intent is achievable within tolerances.

Design Phase
PFMEA
Process FMEA

Analyses manufacturing and assembly process risks. Prevents defects from reaching downstream operations or customers.

Production Phase
SFMEA
System FMEA

Evaluates how subsystem interactions create failure modes at the system level — critical for complex multi-component products.

System Level
DRBFM
Design Review Based on Failure Mode

A Toyota-originated methodology focused on changes and their potential unintended consequences across related systems.

Change Analysis

Five-Step Risk Process

A systematic, repeatable approach to identifying, prioritising, and eliminating risk across your operations.

1

Identify Failure Modes

Define all potential ways a process or component can fail to meet its intended function.

2

Analyse Effects

Evaluate the downstream impact of each failure on product quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.

3

Rate Severity & Occurrence

Score each failure on a 1–10 scale for Severity, Occurrence, and Detectability to compute the RPN.

4

Prioritise by RPN

Risk Priority Number ranking surfaces the highest-risk failure modes for immediate corrective action.

5

Implement & Verify

Assign corrective actions, track completion, and re-evaluate RPN to confirm risk reduction effectiveness.

Key Features

Comprehensive tools built to support rigorous FMEA workflows from identification to closure.

01 / ANALYSIS

RPN Calculation Engine

Automated Risk Priority Number computation across Severity, Occurrence, and Detectability dimensions with threshold alerts.

02 / TRACKING

Corrective Action Tracking

Assign, monitor, and close corrective actions with due-date enforcement, owner assignment, and completion verification.

03 / LIBRARY

Failure Mode Library

Centralised, searchable repository of historical failure modes, causes, and controls — reusable across projects.

04 / COLLABORATION

Multi-Team Collaboration

Real-time multi-user editing with role-based access, comment threads, and review approval workflows.

05 / REPORTING

Automated Report Generation

One-click FMEA reports in industry-standard formats (AIAG, VDA) with complete audit trail and revision history.

06 / INTEGRATION

System Integration

Seamlessly connects with ADeX CMMS, eQMS, and third-party PLM/ERP systems for holistic risk visibility.

What's Included

Every module you need to run a complete, compliant FMEA programme — all in one platform.

FMEA Worksheet Builder

Structured worksheet templates for DFMEA, PFMEA, SFMEA and DRBFM with guided input validation.

RPN Dashboard & Heatmap

Visual risk priority ranking with colour-coded heatmaps to identify and focus on the highest-risk areas.

Control Plan Manager

Link FMEA findings directly to control plans, ensuring process controls are documented and enforced.

Cause & Effect Matrix

Graphical C&E matrix mapping process inputs to product outputs for prioritised process improvement focus.

Historical Trend Analysis

Track RPN reduction over time and measure the effectiveness of corrective actions across multiple FMEA cycles.

IATF 16949 / ISO Alignment

Built-in compliance checks and report templates aligned to IATF 16949, AIAG-VDA 2019, and ISO 9001 standards.

Notification & Escalation Engine

Automated alerts for overdue actions, RPN threshold breaches, and review cycle deadlines.

Digital Signature & Approval

Multi-level digital approval workflow with timestamped sign-off for regulatory and customer audit requirements.
