Relyence FMEA key features
In addition to platform-wide capabilities, each Relyence module offers unique features developed for its specific analysis method. These specialist tools ensure engineers have the right functionality at the right time, helping achieve reliable, audit-ready results with less effort.
Relyence FMEA offers users the following benefits...
Knowledge Banks
Control Your FMEAs with Relyence Knowledge Banks
Relyence Knowledge Banks streamline your FMEA process by providing a centralised repository for all your approved FMEA data, failure modes, effects, causes, and corrective actions. Engineers can search this data to quickly access proven solutions, saving time and ensuring consistency across projects.
The push feature allows you to effortlessly update your analyses with the latest information, keeping your analyses aligned and compliant. Plus, with built-in usage tracking, you gain visibility into how often and where your Knowledge Banks data is being applied, helping to identify best practices and areas for improvement. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to drive your risk analysis.
Relyence FMEA SmartSuggest
The Relyence SmartSuggest feature allows users to select from relevant data previously populated, i.e.,
- SmartSuggest automates the process by which failure causes at higher levels are identified as Failure Modes at the next lower level. It connects the lower-level Failure Mode to its related higher-level Cause. The Severity of the lower-level Mode is automatically set to match the Severity of the parent Failure Mode associated with the higher-level Cause.
- Automate failure Modes at higher levels, becoming Effects at the next lower level. The lower-level Failure Effect is then connected to the higher-level Failure Mode. The Effect Severity for the lower-level Effect is automatically set to the maximum value from the Failure Mode Severity from the higher-level Failure Mode and any associated Failure Effects.
Customisable Workflow & Approvals
Relyence FMEA and FRACAS empower you to take full control of your processes with customisable Workflows, Approvals, and Notifications. Designed to manage every step from start to finish, our intuitive Workflow Editor lets you tailor processes to your team structure and specific requirements. Configure everything with ease—from workflow steps and approval settings to automated notification messages and schedules.
Keep your team aligned and informed with a system that ensures seamless collaboration and accountability. Notifications prompt action at key stages, while approval mechanisms ensure compliance and precision. With Relyence, your workflows are as agile and efficient as your projects demand, giving you the flexibility to adapt and thrive in any industry.
Failure Direct Connect
Relyence Failure Direct Connect: Bridging FRACAS and FMEA for Continuous Improvement
Relyence Failure Direct Connect seamlessly integrates your DFMEAs, PFMEAs & FMECAs with your FRACAS data, providing valuable insights into the failure mechanism. By linking real-world failure data directly to your FMEA, Relyence closes the loop between your warranty returns and future design iterations.
One standout feature is the ability for users to suggest FMEA updates directly from FRACAS entries. This ensures that new issues are promptly incorporated into your FMEA, keeping your analysis current and comprehensive. The result? Enhanced collaboration, faster response times, and a powerful feedback loop that drives ongoing product reliability improvements.
Custom Failure Mode Libraries
Custom FMEA Mode Library: Standardised, Efficient, and Tailored for Your Needs
The Custom FMEA Mode Library introduces a powerful way to streamline your piece-part DFMEA and FMECA processes. By creating a centralised repository of predefined failure modes and associated percentages for each part type, this feature ensures standardisation and consistency across your entire organisation.
Engineers no longer need to start from scratch for every analysis. Instead, they can leverage a comprehensive, predefined set of failure modes, accelerating the FMECA process and reducing the risk of missing critical issues.
The integration with Relyence Reliability Prediction also allows for a quick startup, pulling in relevant data when importing a Bill of Materials (BOM).
AIAG & VDA FMEA Template Support
For teams following specific industry standards, such as AIAG & VDA for automotive, Relyence offers updated templates and reports aligned with these guidelines, simplifying compliance.
Relyence FMEA Core Features
As part of the fully integrated Relyence platform, the FMEA module benefits from a wide range of shared features. These cross-module capabilities allow engineers to save time, avoid duplication, and ensure analyses remain accurate and consistent across projects. Many of the features most valued by our customers are built-in here — visit the features section for the full breakdown.
Audit Trail
Relyence’s Audit Trail feature tracks all modifications to your data, including additions, edits, and deletions, along with who made the changes and when.
In the example shown, the Audit Trail for a Design FMEA shows detailed records of changes made to failure cause data—listing each update, who made it, previous values, and timestamps in descending order. For a comprehensive view, you can also export a full Audit Report, filtering by date and module for concise tracking.
Customisable Dashboards & Drill‑down Reporting
Relyence Dashboards provide a comprehensive, customisable overview of your product or system by gathering and organising key data. Users can create unlimited, personalised Dashboards based on set permissions.Using the Dashboard Editor, add widgets such as charts, tables, and graphs for high-level visual insights—many with drill-down features that lead directly to detailed analysis files, highlighting specific data for in-depth review.
Analysis Tree
The Analysis Tree, positioned between the Relyence Sidebar and main analysis area, provides a clear, hierarchical breakdown of your system, product, or process. While optional, it’s highly recommended for organising your analysis effectively.
As you select items in the Analysis Tree, the data displays the relevant filtered information, keeping your focus on the specific subsystem or section you’re working on. This intuitive filtering helps streamline data management across your Relyence modules, including FMEA, FRACAS, Reliability Prediction, RCM, and Maintainability Prediction.

Relyence FMEA Methodology
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured method for identifying potential problems before they occur. By examining how a product or process could fail, why it might fail, and what the effects would be, engineers can plan effective prevention and detection controls.
There are different types of FMEA depending on the context. DFMEA (Design FMEA) examines risks during the product design phase. PFMEA (Process FMEA) evaluates risks in manufacturing or service processes. FMEA-MSR (Monitoring and System Response) considers how systems behave in operation and how failures are detected or managed.
The AIAG & VDA Handbook provides a harmonised approach for conducting FMEAs, ensuring consistency across industries. Relyence FMEA is built to align with multiple standards while simplifying the process. Its linked diagrams, reusable knowledge libraries, and automation features eliminate repetitive admin tasks, allowing engineers to focus on engineering judgment.
