Master your FMEA actions with Skill FMEA Pro

Skill FMEA Pro stands out as a comprehensive, high-performance FMEA (Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis) software package. In addition to its risk analysis functions, it includes a powerful corrective action tracking module. This article explores in detail how Skill FMEA Pro helps you to effectively manage your FMEA actions and improve the quality of your products and processes.

FMEA action follow-up: a key element of the approach

FMEA is a preventive analysis method designed to identify potential failures in a product, process or system. But identifying risks is only the first step. For an effective FMEA approach, it is essential to implement corrective actions to reduce their probability of occurrence and their impact.

That's where Skill FMEA Pro's action tracking module comes in. It allows you to:

• Centralize all actions: For each identified cause of failure, you can define several corrective actions. Skill FMEA Pro centralizes all these actions in a single portfolio, accessible to all concerned.
• Track action progress: The software lets you track the progress of each action, from planning to implementation to validation.
• Relay managers: An e-mail notification system automatically relaunches action managers and ensures that deadlines are met.
• Measure the effectiveness of actions: Skill FMEA Pro enables you to measure the impact of corrective actions on risk reduction and continuously improve your processes.
