Risk.Net is a software solution designed to support the entire Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) process according to the AIAG and VDA harmonized manual. It helps users identify, evaluate, and prevent potential failures early in product development and production by implementing the seven-step FMEA methodology digitally. The software facilitates structured documentation, risk analysis, optimization, and presentation of FMEA results, enabling companies to reduce failure costs and improve product and process quality. Risk.Net also integrates other risk management standards like DIN EN 14971 and ISO 22000 HACCP analyses, making it a comprehensive risk management tool.

Key Features

Seven-step FMEA Process Support Supports all seven steps of FMEA as per AIAG/VDA guidelines:

• Preparation and scoping with documentation of team and project details
• Structure analysis with multi-level hierarchy creation
• Function analysis linking system elements and functions
• Failure analysis with graphical failure networks
• Risk analysis including action priority frequency evaluation
• Optimization with action states, responsibilities, deadlines, and status tracking
• Presentation and export of results in standardized form sheets

Hierarchical and Graphical Visualization Enables clear visualization and management of FMEA structures and failure networks:

• Multi-level hierarchical structure views
• Drag-and-drop linking of functions and failures
• Graphical failure structure display

Action and Risk Management Facilitates defining, monitoring, and optimizing preventive and detection actions:

• Assign responsible persons and deadlines
• Track action status in a clear hierarchical manner
• Frequency analysis of action priorities for residual risk overview

Integration of Additional Risk Analyses Supports other risk management methodologies beyond FMEA:

• Risk analyses compliant with DIN EN 14971 including risk matrix
• ISO 22000 HACCP analyses with decision tree support

Documentation and Reporting Provides comprehensive documentation and export capabilities:

• Form sheets compliant with AIAG/VDA standards
• Inclusion of functions, system elements, causes, and consequences in reports
• Graphical evaluations and filtering options

Benefits

Early Failure Detection and Prevention Reduces costs associated with production and post-delivery failures:

• Identifies potential failure sources during development
• Enables targeted preventive measures before failures occur

Improved Compliance and Standardization Ensures adherence to industry FMEA standards and guidelines:

• AIAG and VDA harmonized FMEA manual compliance
• Standardized documentation and reporting formats

Enhanced Collaboration and Transparency Supports team-based FMEA creation and management:

• Centralized data and information sharing
• Clear assignment of responsibilities and deadlines
• Transparent tracking of risk mitigation progress

Comprehensive Risk Management Combines multiple risk analysis methods in one platform:

• Facilitates holistic risk management beyond FMEA
• Supports industry-specific risk standards for medical devices and food safety
