Industry InsightsFMEA is increasingly sidelined in rushed development cycles. This oversight is disastrous, as it undermines product robustness and exposes companies to liabilities.
IT & InfrastructureThe methodology that keeps aircraft in the sky and medical devices safe has been quietly transforming how forward-thinking IT teams approach reliability. Here is why your infrastructure deserves the same rigorous analysis.
Software EngineeringIn 45 minutes, Knight Capital lost 440 million dollars due to a deployment gone wrong. The failure modes were predictable. Here is how FMEA helps software teams prevent catastrophic releases.
ElectronicsSamsung recalled 2.5 million devices and lost billions after battery fires. The failure modes were knowable. Here is how electronics teams use FMEA to prevent catastrophic design flaws.
EnergyWhen Winter Storm Uri hit Texas, the grid collapsed for days, leaving millions without power in freezing temperatures. The failure modes were documented but never addressed. Here is how FMEA prevents energy catastrophes.
ManufacturingTakata airbags killed at least 27 people and triggered the largest automotive recall in history. The manufacturing failure modes were detectable. Here is how FMEA prevents defects from becoming disasters.
TutorialsBefore FMEA can prevent failures, requirements must define success. Here is how leading organizations structure, trace, and verify requirements to build systems that work.
TutorialsModern engineering spans multiple tools—Jira for tracking, Git for code, Slack for communication, and specialized systems for requirements and analysis. Here is how to connect them without creating chaos.
AutomotiveThe automotive industry invented FMEA. Now it is time to reinvent how we do it. Modern tools bring the rigor of AIAG-VDA methodology to teams drowning in Excel complexity.
AutomotiveA modern vehicle has more requirements than a commercial aircraft. Managing them with documents and spreadsheets is why programs slip and recalls happen.
AutomotiveYour FMEA lives in Excel. Requirements are in DOORS. Tasks are in Jira. Tests are in qTest. And somehow you need to maintain traceability across all of them.
AerospaceAerospace safety standards are uncompromising. Your failure analysis tooling should match that rigor. Modern FMEA platforms deliver what aviation demands.
AerospaceIn aerospace, a requirement isn not just text—it is a commitment that traces from aircraft functions through certification evidence. Managing that chain demands more than documents.
AerospaceRequirements in DOORS. Models in Simulink. Tests in LDRA. Analysis in Excel. Certification evidence scattered everywhere. Integration makes it coherent.
Medical DevicesFDA 21 CFR Part 820 demands risk management. ISO 14971 defines how. Modern FMEA tools make it achievable without drowning in documentation.
Medical DevicesThe Design History File starts with requirements. FDA inspectors will trace from user needs to verification evidence. Your requirements management better support that journey.
Medical DevicesYour QMS is in MasterControl. Development is in Jira. Tests are in TestRail. Risk management is in Excel. Integration makes it coherent—and compliant.
