What is FMEA Software?

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured approach used by organizations to identify, assess and prevent potential failures in processes or products before they occur. It's a critical component of quality management systems, helping teams prioritize risks and proactively implement controls to ensure reliability and safety.

QT9’s FMEA software streamlines the entire risk analysis process. From identifying failure modes to calculating Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) and assigning corrective actions, QT9 automates and centralizes risk management. Fully integrated with the QT9 ERP, it supports compliance with industry standards like ISO 9001 and IATF 16949,  making it easier to reduce defects and enhance quality outcomes across the board.

FAQ: FMEA Management

What is FMEA?

FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. FMEA is an analysis tool that provides a structured approach to identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing process, or a product or service. It is used at several points in product development and manufacturing to address risk and/or to address failures of an existing process or product.

What is FMEA software?

FMEA software provides a pre-configured system for addressing FMEA procedures, automating and integrating them with key quality applications for greater reliability and efficiency.

What is the FMEA process?

The American Society for Quality (ASQ) outlines several steps for the FMEA process, including:

  1. Create a cross-functional team to address all areas of impact
  2. Identify scope of the FEMA
  3. Identify functions of scope
  4. For each function, identify ways failure could happen
  5. For each failure mode, identify all consequences
  6. Determine severity of each effect
  7. Determine all potential root causes
  8. For each cause, determine the probability of occurring
  9. For each cause, identify current process controls
  10. For each control, determine how well it can detect cause
  11. Calculate risk priority number
  12. Identify recommended actions
  13. Record results

When should I use FMEA software?

FMEA software can be used throughout a product’s lifecycle, including:

  • During design and development as a risk management tool
  • Evaluating a new use for a current product
  • As part of product improvements
  • Analysis of nonconformances for an existing product

How can QT9 QMS help with my FMEA processes?

QT9’s QMS software is a highly rated, affordable, easy-to-use quality management system that excels at all of the processes that go into providing high-quality goods and services that are FDA and ISO compliant.

With QT9 QMS you get unlimited scalability and traceability at a great price, so you can bring quality products and services to market in the most efficient way.

What is FMEA in a quality management system (QMS)?
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured method used within a QMS to identify potential failures in products or processes before they occur. It evaluates how failures might happen, their impact, and associated risks. QT9 FMEA software helps teams document, assess, and manage FMEA activities in a centralized, traceable system.
Is FMEA required for ISO 9001 compliance?
FMEA is not explicitly required by ISO 9001, but it supports ISO 9001 clause 8.5 by enabling risk-based thinking and process control. Using FMEA within a QMS like QT9 helps organizations proactively identify risks and demonstrate compliance during audits.
What are the seven quality management principles of ISO 9001?
The seven ISO 9001 quality management principles are customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision making, and relationship management. QT9 QMS helps organizations apply these principles through structured workflows, documented processes, and data-driven quality management.
