The Relex FMEA advantage. Relex FMEA’s clear advantage is its customization capabilities. Allowing for a user configurable data structure, user defined calculations, and customizable severity and criticality assessment methods, Relex FMEA provides ultimate flexibility. With extensive failure mode libraries, automatic roll-up and building features, Relex FMEA is the choice of analysis professionals.

Web or Windows. Relex FMEA is available as a Windows-based application or a web-based zero-client user interface front end. Based on your needs, you can select the way you prefer to work and move back and forth as required. The flexibility of Relex FMEA allows for the collaboration so commonly required on large-scale, multi-group FMEA efforts.

Relex ® FMEA/FMECA was designed to handle your Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs) with unsurpassed power and flexibility. The methodology contained within Relex FMEA allows you to quickly and easily analyze the potential failure modes of your system and the resulting effects of those failures. Supporting a variety of formats, Relex FMEA is equally adept at performing process, design, functional, and piece-part level FMEAs. Additionally, Relex FMEA takes FMEA processes to a new level by supporting two fully-featured compatible FMEA versions: a Windows-based application and a zero-client web-based front end. By allowing you to select your FMEA data entry mechanism, Relex FMEA supports a collaborative environment conducive to a successful FMEA process.

Fully compliant. Relex FMEA supports commonly used standards such as the MIL-STD-1629A FMECA standard (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis), the SAE ARP5580 FMEA standard, the SAE J1739 FMEAs, the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) FMEA, Daimler Chrysler, Ford, and GM FMEA methodologies, IEC 60812, and BS 5760. You are also free to create your own completely customized FMEA, or modify one of the supplied templates to suit your needs.

Full FMEA features. The Relex FMEA module supports fault equivalencies to allow grouping of like failure modes and consequences to ensure consistency and efficiency in your FMEA process. Libraries of failure mode data are supplied with Relex FMEA, including RAC FMD-97 and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability). Relex FMEA supports criticality assessment through risk priority numbers (RPN), criticality ranks, risk levels, criticality matrices, and failure mode probability calculations. Additionally, Relex FMEA supports exporting to LSAR compatible formats.

The Relex Architect platform. Relex FMEA includes all the advanced features of Relex Architect’s robust, proven framework. A rich user interface is coupled with innovative features such as the invaluable Project Navigator for centralized Project control, the Relex Bar for customized one-click operations, the Task List for quick access to commonly used tasks, and data filtering for ultimate user control of data views. Comprehensive reporting capabilities include easy-to-use Report and Graph Wizards for complete user customization of output reports and graphs. Relex’s Import/Export Wizard enables you to transfer your Project data to and from Relex in a variety of popular formats, including Microsoft Excel ® and Access ® . Additionally, Relex Architect modules are built on a common data-base, for optimal product integration and data sharing capabilities.

Built for the enterprise. Relex’s Enterprise Edition supports the high performance, scalable needs of large user bases. Features such as support for Microsoft SQL Server ® and Oracle ® databases, permission based security, user and group roles, front end web interfaces, Relex Dashboard for a high-level overview of system metrics, audit trails for tracking data modifications, and customizable data connectors insure that Relex meets the needs of full scale, enterprise-wide teams.

Advanced FMEA features. Relex FMEA supports several features to insure that your FMEA analysis can be performed with efficiency and thoroughness. Relex FMEA can optionally roll-up failure effects to next level failure modes, and supports building, which enables automatic trickle-down of your FMEA data from higher levels to lower system levels. Relex FMEA uniquely supports both piece-part and functional FMEAs within the same Project on the same system, and allows you to define your own FMEA data structure hierarchy to completely customize your FMEA. Customizable workflow and alerts also provide for process control and automatic notifications. In addition, Relex FMEA provides a number of unique user interface features such as merged cells and cell-based formatting functions. Relex FMEA advanced features enable your FMEA process to be streamlined, efficient, and comprehensive.
