[FMEA functionality] FMEA flowchart in Skill FMEA Pro
The Flowchart is automatically generated and integrates data from the Product FMEA, the Process FMEA and the Control Plan. It also manages confidentiality.
Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMEA) is a powerful tool for identifying and managing risks. But how do you clearly visualize the complex interactions between the different stages of a process and the associated risks? That's where the FMEA flowchart comes in. Skill FMEA Pro, the leading software in this field, offers integrated flowchart functionality that revolutionizes the way companies visualize and optimize their processes.
The FMEA flowchart: a powerful visualization tool
An FMEA flowchart is a graphical representation of a process that integrates data from the product FMEA, the process FMEA and the Control Plan. It enables you to clearly visualize :
- The different stages of the process
- Interactions between stages
- Material and information flows
- Control points
- Potential risks associated with each step
By providing a clear, concise overview of the process, the FMEA flowchart makes it easier to understand, analyze and optimize processes.
FMEA flowchart in Skill FMEA Pro: advanced functionalities
Skill FMEA Pro offers an integrated flowchart functionality that stands out for its advanced features:
- Automatic generation: The flowchart is generated automatically from the process FMEA data and the Control Plan. No more tedious manual diagrams or risk of error!
- FMEA data integration: Each step in the flowchart is linked to the corresponding information in the process FMEA and Control Plan. A simple click gives access to the details of the risk analysis.
- Risk visualization: Potential risks are clearly identified on the flowchart, enabling critical areas of the process to be visualized.
- Level of detail management: The flowchart can be displayed at different levels of detail, enabling specific steps to be zoomed in on, or an overall view of the process to be obtained.
- Collaboration features: The flowchart can be shared and commented on by the various players in the process, encouraging collaboration and communication.
- Confidentiality management: Skill FMEA Pro lets you manage access rights to the flowchart, and hide certain sensitive information if necessary.
Benefits of the FMEA flowchart in Skill FMEA Pro
