Module 10 – FMEA (Design & Process FMEA)

Identify risks before they jeopardise cost, quality and schedules.

Together with its partner, ANKORATEC offers professionally moderated design and process FMEA with intelligent AI support for the systematic validation of function, quality and series maturity. The FMEA is carried out close to design, practice-oriented and OEM-compliant – as an active engineering tool with AI-supported efficiency gains, not as a mere mandatory document.

Design FMEA (DFMEA)

  • Structure analysis at component and assembly level
  • Function and failure analysis down to the root cause
  • Risk analysis and assessment, derivation of technical measures
  • Validation of concept and design decisions
  • Support in design reviews & releases
  • AI assistants as coach and partner in the FMEA process

Process FMEA (PFMEA)

  • Structure analysis of manufacturing and assembly processes
  • Function and failure analysis down to the root cause
  • Risk analysis and assessment of process-related risks
  • Validation of series production
  • Support in launch and change processes
  • Link to quality and production requirements
  • AI assistants as coach and partner in the FMEA process

FMEA moderation & action management

  • Structured, goal-oriented workshops
  • Methodically sound moderation by an experienced FMEA moderator (PeakAvenue Certified Consultant e1ns)
  • Documentation & tracking of actions
  • Support through to implementation
  • OEM- and Tier-1-compliant methodology according to AIAG/VDA 2019
  • Software included if required: PeakAvenue e1ns / APIS IQ | Audimus FMEA Designer

Our approach

  • FMEA as an active engineering tool
  • Close to design and process instead of formalistic
  • Action-oriented, not table-driven
  • Early risk elimination instead of late failure costs
  • Close integration with design, tolerances & processes
  • Focus on effective actions instead of mere AP/RPN administration
  • 60–80% less moderation effort through AI support

Typical project results

  • Structured DFMEA and PFMEA documents
  • Clearly assessed risks & priorities
  • Actionable technical measures
  • Supported design and process releases
  • Reduced series and quality risks
  • Expert knowledge preserved in an AI knowledge base

Added value for the customer

  • Lower failure costs & less rework
  • Higher process and product stability
  • More reliable releases & audits
  • Transparent decision bases
  • Stable series launch
  • Payback: 3–6 months

Typical applications

  • New developments & variant projects
  • Projects close to SOP under high risk pressure
  • Changes to product or process
  • Quality and series production problems
  • OEM and Tier-1 projects with mandatory FMEA
