Standardized Taxonomy

Unify communication, accelerate analysis, and ensure traceability with verified engineering taxonomies embedded in the MADE platform.

MADE’s model-based taxonomy framework spans four domains; Failure Concepts, Environmental Factors, Functional Behavior, and Maintenance Actions. It standardizes engineering data, enabling consistent analysis, faster collaboration, and fewer cross-discipline errors. The result: clearer decisions, stronger designs, and more reliable systems.

Where Taxonomy Makes an Impact

Clarity, consistency, and control across the engineering lifecycle

MADE’s standardized, model-based taxonomies enable precise, reusable system models that drive accuracy, speed, and alignment across engineering disciplines. By embedding a shared language for failure, function, environment, and maintenance, MADE ensures every analysis is consistent, traceable, and scalable across programs and teams.

FMEA / FMECA

Automatically populated with consistent failure data for better traceability and actionability.

Fault Tree Analysis

Structured inputs that clarify dependencies and causal pathways.

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)

Structured functions and failure data inform maintenance strategies tailored to mission and safety objectives.

Safety Case Authoring

Demonstrate compliance using standardized failure and function models to support hazard mitigation and certification.

Maintenance Cost Modeling

Predefined maintenance actions link seamlessly to lifetime cost models, improving forecasting accuracy.

Environment Profiling

Easily compare operating scenarios to determine optimal system configurations and maintenance intervals.
