Keep PFMEAs organised, aligned, and audit-ready with Relyence's always-in-sync technology.
Relyence PFMEA streamlines your process failure analysis with its unique always-in-sync technology, ensuring your Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), PFMEA Worksheets, and Control Plans (PCPs) remain aligned and organised. Integrating P-Diagrams for upfront assessment, Relyence PFMEA allows you to manage every aspect of your process control with precision. Automated data alignment eliminates redundancies, reduces errors, and ensures your PFMEAs are always audit-ready

Relyence PFMEA key features
As a fully integrated platform Relyence offers numerous key features that are shared across various modules, as and where applicable. Here's a small selection supported by the PFMEA module however, check out the feature section for a full breakdown and to learn more.
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.
PFMEA Control Plans
Relyence’s PFMEA Control Plan (CP) feature provides a structured approach to managing and documenting control strategies within your Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA). It seamlessly integrates with other PFMEA components, including the Process Flow Diagram (PFD) and the PFMEA Worksheet, to ensure consistency and maintain data alignment across the analysis. This integration, enabled by Relyence’s “always-in-sync” technology, keeps process steps, characteristics, and control details up-to-date across the PFD, PFMEA Worksheet, and Control Plan, reducing risks of misalignment and audit issues.
The Control Plan starts with the process steps from the PFMEA and PFD, allowing users to document critical control parameters like control methods, specifications, sample sizes, and response actions if deviations occur. Any process characteristics entered in one part of the PFMEA will automatically appear in all relevant areas, enhancing efficiency and ensuring that control measures are comprehensively tracked. Users can further customise the CP layout to create specific views for team members, making it adaptable to various organisational needs and ensuring alignment with standards like AIAG & VDA and SAE​.
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.
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 PFMEA Core Features
As part of a fully integrated suite the Relyence PFMEA module shares many core features with our other modules, saving your users time whilst providing for a more detailed analysis.
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.
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.
