Avoiding Risk Analysis Pitfalls: Implementing Linked DFMEA, HARA, and FTA

WEBINAR · ON-DEMAND

Disconnected risk analysis methods can lead to gaps in safety and efficiency. In this webinar, we explore how integrating Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) can significantly improve risk identification, management, and functional safety assurance.

Key Takeaways

  • Overview of FMEA (AIAG-VDA and AIAG 4th), HARA, and FTA methodologies
  • Common challenges with disconnected risk assessments
  • Benefits of digitalizing and linking FMEAs with HARAs and FTAs
  • Demonstration of how Omnex software supports integrated risk analysis
  • Using FTAs to trace simultaneous failure causes and align with Functional Safety goals
