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
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.
FMEA software provides a pre-configured system for addressing FMEA procedures, automating and integrating them with key quality applications for greater reliability and efficiency.
The American Society for Quality (ASQ) outlines several steps for the FMEA process, including:
- Create a cross-functional team to address all areas of impact
- Identify scope of the FEMA
- Identify functions of scope
- For each function, identify ways failure could happen
- For each failure mode, identify all consequences
- Determine severity of each effect
- Determine all potential root causes
- For each cause, determine the probability of occurring
- For each cause, identify current process controls
- For each control, determine how well it can detect cause
- Calculate risk priority number
- Identify recommended actions
- Record results

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
