SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured FMEA workflow to identify potential failures in designs, processes, or systems and to rank them by risk for targeted action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AIAG-VDA 7-step methodology: Guided planning, analysis, and documentation from risk identification to action tracking.
  • AP/risk prioritization: Calculate Action Priority based on S, O, D to highlight high-risk items needing mitigation.
  • Lifecycle integration: Works with design and manufacturing data, generates risk summaries, and outputs professional reports.
  • Knowledge integration: Optional standards lookups via knowledge-mcp to enrich failure-mode catalogs and citation-ready outputs.
  • Scalable outputs: Generates structured data for dashboards, reports, and Control Plans.

Quick Start

Start by providing your FMEA focus (DFMEA, PFMEA) and a set of failure modes with severity, occurrence, and detection ratings. Then run AP calculations and generate a report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct an AIAG-VDA FMEA analysis for a new design?▼

To conduct an AIAG-VDA FMEA analysis, define your focus (DFMEA or PFMEA) and provide potential failure modes with severity, occurrence, and detection ratings. The workflow applies the 7-step methodology to calculate Action Priority and generate structured reports.

What is the difference between DFMEA and PFMEA risk prioritization?▼

DFMEA focuses on identifying potential failures in product designs, while PFMEA targets manufacturing and process failures. Both workflows use the AIAG-VDA 7-step methodology to calculate Action Priority from S, O, and D ratings to highlight high-risk items needing mitigation.

How do I calculate Action Priority in an FMEA workflow?▼

Action Priority in an FMEA workflow is calculated by evaluating Severity, Occurrence, and Detection ratings. The AIAG-VDA methodology uses these S/O/D metrics to prioritize high-risk failure modes and track re-evaluation after applying mitigation actions.

Can I use FMEA-MSR to monitor potential failures in a system?▼

Yes, FMEA-MSR workflows can be applied to monitor potential failures in systems. The Skill supports DFMEA, PFMEA, and FMEA-MSR workflows, providing structured risk identification, Action Priority calculations, and actionable outputs.

Do I need external standards data to generate an FMEA report?▼

No, external standards data is optional. The Skill can perform FMEA analysis and generate professional reports independently, but it supports optional standards lookups via knowledge-mcp to enrich failure-mode catalogs and provide citation-ready outputs.

What outputs can I expect from an AIAG-VDA FMEA analysis?▼

AIAG-VDA FMEA analysis produces scalable outputs including structured data for dashboards, professional reports, and Control Plans. It provides S/O/D ratings, Action Priority prioritization, and re-evaluation results after mitigation actions are applied.
