MADE Model-Based FMEA

Streamline risk analysis. Optimize design.

MADE empowers engineers to rapidly regenerate Failure Mode and Effects Analyses in sync with each design iteration. By leveraging a model-based approach, MADE keeps failure data consistent, current and fully traceable across the system lifecycle.

One-Click FMEA

Generate FMEAs directly from the system model.

Design Iteration

Regenerate analysis as the design evolves.

Failure Propagation

Simulate local, next and end effects.

Connected RAMS

Feed FTA, RCM, PHM and sensor strategy development.

Why Model-Based FMEA Matters

Traditional FMEA struggles to keep pace with complex system design.

Systems-driven design and increasing equipment complexity make traditional manual FMEA difficult to conduct, validate and maintain. MADE changes the process by deriving FMEA outputs directly from a structured system model and its failure propagation logic.

Objective FMEA. Generated from engineering context.

MADE uses model-based automation, standardised engineering taxonomies, graphical tools and simulations to improve consistency, reduce rework and help teams identify latent design risks earlier.

From system model to risk-informed decision making.

MADE auto-generates FMEAs from system models, capturing functional behaviour and failure dependencies in a Digital Risk Twin. Outputs can then support Fault Tree Analysis, RCM, PHM and sensor strategy development.

Key MADE FMEA capabilities

MADE combines model-based analysis, simulation and lifecycle traceability to help engineering teams improve FMEA quality and reduce manual rework.

Digitally integrated, continuously evolving

Auto-generate FMEAs from system models, capturing functional behaviour and failure dependencies within the Digital Risk Twin.

Built for complex systems

Handle multidisciplinary systems with automated dependency mapping and failure propagation analysis.

Traceability and reuse across the lifecycle

Link FMEA data directly to fault trees, diagnostics and maintainability models within one unified platform.

Accelerated risk-informed decisions

Use real-time updates, version control and visual propagation tools to improve insight into failure risk.

Functional Block Diagrams

Define the system model that drives the FMEA.

Items. Functions. Interfaces. Failure context.

MADE Functional Block Diagrams show the system model, including logical or physical items, functions and interfaces. This structured model becomes the foundation for failure propagation and FMEA generation.

Failure Effect Simulations

Simulate the effects of failure throughout the system.

Understand local, next and end effects.

MADE Failure Effect Simulations show the progression of failures through the system model, helping engineers understand how a local failure may propagate into broader system consequences.

Failure Diagrams

Show the causes, mechanisms and faults behind functional failure.

Improve understanding of failure causality.

MADE Failure Diagrams show failure causes, mechanisms and faults that lead to functional failure modes, supporting deeper engineering understanding and clearer analysis communication.

FMEA Reports

Generate FMEA reports directly from the system model.

Consistent, repeatable and aligned to selected standards.

MADE FMEA reports are generated from the system model in accordance with selected standard formats, helping teams reduce inconsistency and improve reporting confidence across design iterations.

How MADE FMEA works

MADE uses mission context, system modelling and failure simulation to generate FMEA outputs that remain connected to the design.

Define Mission Profile

Define the usage profiles and environment of operation so the FMEA reflects operational context.

Define System Model

Define the system framework using Functional Block Diagram modelling.

Generate Failures

Generate functional failures from the system model and failure propagation table for review.

Inject Failure

Inject failure modes into the system model for use in simulation.

Simulate Failure

Simulate failure effects step-by-step, including local, next and end effects.

Chart Failure Responses

Graph response results at the local, next and end effect of a failure.

Impact for engineering and RAMS teams

MADE FMEA helps teams move from manual reporting to repeatable, model-based analysis that can evolve with the system.

Reduce manual rework

Regenerate FMEA outputs as the design changes instead of rebuilding analysis by hand.

Improve consistency

Use standardised taxonomies and model-derived outputs to reduce subjective variation.

Identify latent risk earlier

Use failure propagation and simulation to expose design risks earlier in the lifecycle.

Connect downstream analysis

Use FMEA outputs as a foundation for FTA, RCM, PHM and sensor strategy development.

Improve collaboration

Use visual tools and propagation tables to improve cross-disciplinary understanding.

Support lifecycle traceability

Keep failure data linked to the system model as the product evolves.

Move from static FMEA documents to model-based risk intelligence.

MADE helps teams generate, update and reuse FMEA outputs directly from the system model, improving traceability, consistency and confidence across the engineering lifecycle.
