Leverage the new FMEA risk matrix and improvements for usability and industry guideline support.

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a methodology that allows companies to assess risks associated with possible product failure. The Teamcenter Quality FMEA module helps you avoid defects by allowing you to evaluate the effects caused by potential problems early in the planning phase. The FMEA module supports several standards and guidelines. The latest version contains new elements and enhancement, mainly boosting the usability and industry guideline support. Among the many improvements, a new important element is the FMEA risk matrix, which should be used as an evaluation tool for the priorities for the design or process FMEA.
