Quarta EVO FMEA

Quarta EVO manages the different forms of FMEA as provided for by the AVSQ ’94 (Italy), EAQF ’94 (France), VDA 6 (Germany) , QS-9000 (USA) and IATF 16949 regulations.

Through the integrated approach with Quarta EVO technologies, the following is guaranteed:

• Timeliness: this is a preventive action and not a corrective intervention
• Teamwork: the analysis is carried out by different field technicians – teamwork, exchange of information.
• Full possibility of defining the approval cycles through the workFlow engine of Quarta EVO.
• Management of the different regulations.
• Process, Project and System FMEA.
• Project, process and system bill of materials.
• Customizable prints.
• Wide possibilities of analysis through all the FMEAs.
• Full integration with the registry files of Quarta EVO.
• Drag and Drop functions.
• Programming GaNT correction activity.
• Pareto analysis of the risk blocks.

Product FMEA analyzes the fault (degradation of characteristics) that may occur when using the product and their consequences, also in relation to the user’s safety.

It is a powerful analysis tool very often used for designing reliability and safety – in general, key aspects of quality.
The bill of materials can be configured first in order to configure a grid system between assembly details and sub-groups.

Process FMEA analyzes the potential fault sources in the operations of the production process, aiming at a premature diagnosis of the problems that could occur when manufacturing the product.
It is an analyzing tool that compels to review the production process according to the product-process combined designing logics.

FMEA applies not only to new products or processes (not referable to existent products or processes), but also to existent products so they can be improved or to processes that can be modified (in operations, technologies or both).

FMEA can be developed quantitatively by processing fault probabilities. If the evaluation of the critical state of faults is introduced, we have FMECA: fault analysis by mode, effect, critical status.
FMEA must not be a mere procedure but a cultural approach that must be translated in action with proper techniques allowed by the software for a designing process always aimed at competitive Quality and Value, from the idea to the prototypes, to the release of products-processes [Forward Engineering].
