A robust FMEA feature should guide users through the industry-standard AIAG-VDA 7-Step Process: What is FMEA? Failure Mode & Effects Analysis - ASQ

: The underlying reason for the failure (e.g., incorrect algorithm, material weakness).

: Tools to assign responsibility and deadlines for corrective actions aimed at reducing high-priority risks. Standard 7-Step Workflow

: The impact of the failure on the end user or system (e.g., overheating, abnormal shutdown).

To provide a complete FMEA solution, the feature should include the following structural elements:

: The specific way a system or component fails to meet its intended function (e.g., fracture, electrical short).

: A structured worksheet to catalog:
