In my recent blog,”Model-Based FMEA”, I wrote about the functional model serving as the basis of the Design FMEA in the IQ-Software.

For decades, engineers and designers relied on physical models to visualize how their design would appear in finished form. “Bringing it to life,” as it were. You may have seen old photographs of car models sculpted out of clay. You could see how all the […]
The thing about failures is they are chameleons that can exist by other aliases – Effect, Mode, or Cause. Every last one of them are failures; functional performance that has drifted far enough from the ideal function to reach the zone of failure. They achieve their aliases as they fall into different places in what I […]

Acronyms. There are acronyms for everything these days. Take for instance FMEA. The acronym FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. But if you’re here with us reading this blog, you probably already knew that! But do you think of it as a document or an analysis? Document vs. Analysis? Although many folks treat it like it’s a […]
