Pain Points & FMEA-Requirements

3www.gadv.de

FMEA Usage of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis

• Higher product reliability & to lower product risk

• Easier handling of risk analysis for products with a high number of variants

Pain Points

• Product robustness / reliability

• High cost to develop new products

• Compliance efforts

• Quality issues

• Failure to meet timeline

• Causes of double effort

• Lack of transparency

• Difficult to collaborate across large or distributed teams

FMEA Customer Requirements

4www.gadv.de

Some priorities of our Automotive Supplier

customer focus, excellent performance, efficient processes, lean structures . . .

FMEA Engineering Challenges and Requirements

• Representation of defined workflows including approval and release process

• Consistent treatment of the different FMEA types

• Various evaluation, search and filter functions across all FMEAs

• Monitoring of assigned actions/measures and all deadlines

• Access and modification protection of the entire FMEA

• Versioning of the complete status of each FMEA during the processing phase

• Archiving over a long period of time including the accompanying documents

• Variant management: grouping of FMEAs that differs only slightly for different products

• Number of active FMEAs: > 10k

• Number of Risk Analysis Version Work Items: > 45k

• Number of Risk Analysis Action Work Items: > 97k

• Number of Users: > 1k

Benefits for the use of IBM® Engineering Workflow Management (EWM)

• Standard functions out of the box (workflows, file handling, search, queries, plans, dashboards, reports)

• FMEA work items allow to integrate the FMEA directly into the development process of products or projects (planning, tracking, due dates, . . .)

• FMEA Action work items can be used like standard tasks to track effort, timelines/iterations and collaboration

5www.gadv.de

Key Points

• Representation of FMEA versions and FMEA actions as EWM work items

• Extensive use of the functions contained in EWM, e.g. search, analysis, workflows, dashboards, reports

• Initiating activities through status changes of the work items, e.g. start approval or release version

• Automated bi-directional connection of the FMEA tool

• Fully automated archiving of the associated documents on a secure archive network drive, with linking of the documents in the work item

• Automated evaluation and monitoring of FMEA actions

• Simple check-in and check-out process for important documents

• Interfaces to other applications such as product or project databases
