What is FMEA / FMECA?

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a reliability engineering methodology that has been widely applied in many organisations across various industries. It systematically identifies and analyses the possible failure modes of each equipment and component, ranking and prioritising each failure based on its impact and its probability of occurrence.

Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) takes the FMEA process one step further. It looks at the likelihood and criticality of each failure mode, allowing for a more accurate and robust analysis.

Do any of the following statements resonate within your organisation?

  • “We have a concerning number of underperforming assets” 
  • “We are undergoing a significant change in the operating context or asset component configuration”  
  • “We need to refine our maintenance plans”  
  • “We need to improve our asset performance, but our budget and schedule is tight” 

If any of these statements sound familiar your business could benefit from conducting an FMEA. We can assist you in revitalising your organisation’s approach to understanding the performance of your assets that are causing you to feel the pain.

What can HolisticAM help with your organisation’s FMEA projects?

Specialist FMEA / RCM Reliability Capability

HolisticAM is structured to accommodate all requests of any size or complexity. Our specialists offer a powerful combination of industry expertise, subject matter mastery and dedication to delivering excellence for your FMEA projects.

Make your FMEA projects agile

We have extensive experience in conducting FMEA & FMECA methodologies. Our extensive FMEA Enterprise Library lists thousands of components with known functions and failure modes. This enables us to offer a streamlined process for Asset FMEA application, which allows for rapid implementation of your projects. 

Provide fit-for-purpose solutions to suit your unique needs

We understand that all sites have variation in operating conditions and requirements, so we don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach to building your maintenance strategies. We use our component FMEA library to build the base case and then apply your sites’ unique situation to determine risk profile, frequency, trade requirements etc.

Prepare you for your future projects 

We do not just focus on meeting your present needs for your FMEA workshops but provide support to get you ready for your future projects. We have experienced workshop facilitators to lead and enable the full potential in the team. Also, we offer FMEA training to foster your team competencies.

Offer ReliaSoft software for simplicity, speed and replication

As ReliaSoft Software reseller in Australia and New Zealand, we offer good relational database software, such as XFMEA, to optimise your FMEA projects.

With the help of a software tool, you can establish consistency among your organisation’s FMEAs, build a “knowledge base” of lessons learned from past FMEAs, generate other types of reports for FMEA data (e.g. Top 10 Failure Modes by RPN, Actions by Due Date, etc.) and/or track the progress and completion of recommended actions.

Time to unlock the full potential of your FMEAs!

Our experience in FMEA / FMECA covers various industries. If you want to discuss your projects or need any help, don’t hesitate to talk to our specialist!

Build your living library of FMEAs

XFMEA provides for the ability to centralise your FMEAs in one location and maintain connections or relationships between analyses. It helps you to easily find, filter, re-use, and manage your living library of FMEAs. As a result, you can streamline the process in developing asset management strategies.

Integrate with other ReliaSoft synthesis applications

XFMEA is part of ReliaSoft Synthesis platform. The centralised FMEA library is accessible with any of ReliaSoft’s other Synthesis-enabled applications: Weibull++ for life data analysis, ALTA for accelerated life testing data analysis, BlockSim for system analysis.
