I came across this message while researching an upcoming Semiconductor
FMEA Study and I felt obligated to put my 2 cents in....
We have used Mpact Software in the past and found that while it was strong in some areas, it did not makeup for the week & confusing portion of the FMEA Analysis. It seems that you need a degree in Quantum Physics to understand how it operates (kidding)...we had no patience for their tech support and as a result abandoned their product.
Frankly the reply to the initial message sounds like this is a Sales Q/A session online...I hope this is not the case!
In search for New FMEA technology, A colleague of mine (@SixSigma) told me about a tool he came across “FMEA-Pro”, developed by a Risk Analysis Company - Dyadem International.
You won't believe what they have done for FMEA studies. The software (we ended up purchasing) includes "Knowledge based Libraries" which prompt me to consider checklists of F-modes, F-Effects & Current Controls. Security features include "electronic records and signatures" and Password protection on files.
It also allows me to print reports in HTML which means I can email a report to someone and they don't have to have my software to view it.
Take my advice and check this out for yourself...they were allowing you to download a full working copy the last time I checked....by the way, ask them for a free telephone tutorial...you won't regret it!
