FMEA: failure mode and effects analysis)
Identifying and mitigating risks across design and processes for safer systems.
Design and process failures in automotive systems can lead to safety issues, recalls, and accidents, especially as system complexity increases. FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) provides a structured approach to proactively manage risks, improve design, and ensure safety throughout the product lifecycle. Our FMEA services, including System, Design (DFMEA), Software (SFMEA), and Process FMEA (PFMEA), are aligned with ISO 26262 and AIAG VDA standards.
FMEDA: failure mode effects and diagnostic analysis
Achieving functional safety in automotive systems hinges on precise hardware failure rate analysis and robust diagnostic strategies to meet ISO 26262 metrics like SPFM and LFM. Misjudged failure probabilities or incomplete diagnostics can compromise safety and compliance. FMEDA (Failure Mode Effects and Diagnostic Analysis) is a key method for addressing these challenges and evaluating component reliability using real-world data, identify failure modes, and calculate critical safety metrics.
FTA: fault tree analysis
Identifying root causes in complex systems to strengthen functional safety.
System-level failures in automotive applications require a structured approach like FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) to identify root causes and ensure safety. We employ a top-down method to trace fault propagation paths, starting from the system-level undesired event and breaking them down to component-level faults. Our FTA services include both qualitative (cut set analysis) and quantitative (PMHF FIT rate) evaluations using advanced tools.
DFA: dependent failure analysis
Addressing interdependent failure risks to strengthen system safety and compliance.
Dependent failures in automotive systems occur when faults in one component affect others, risking safety and ISO 26262 compliance. Our Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) identifies and mitigates cascading or common cause failures, ensuring Freedom from Interference (FFI) between components, even across different ASIL levels. By addressing these issues, clients can achieve compliance with ISO 26262, particularly for critical systems like ADAS.
