Experienced engineers know that the value of the DFMEA/DDMA process comes from correcting design issues identified during the analysis via design changes. The ARCHx™ Design expert Deviation and Mitigation Analysis (DexDMA) method provides a platform to accomplish this value in a faster, more complete way. Mitigations chosen to strengthen the design become new requirements. These new requirements are tracked and if approved, can automatically be added to REQx. Additional Validation Test Objectives can be defined. Automatic diagnostic mitigations are identified along with the action taken when a failure is detected. These mitigations include estimates of diagnostic effectiveness.

The expert Knowledge Base used for the DexDMA method help focus the designers on the essential issues. Design verification takes much less time and will likely have higher quality.

Gathering and organizing design documentation data can be a frustrating task. The information entered in ARCHx is organized into a series of reports that can be used for future projects, new staff, and certification projects. Custom reports can be created.

Using a common interface for Hardware, Software, and Cybersecurity design analysis also saves engineering time. When that is combined with less duplicate entry time and a common tree structure the design verification process is far more effective.

ARCHx provides a set of utilities used within the context of the FMEA including Action Item, Derived Requirement, and Test Objective Creation.

Engineering time spent switching between applications is reduced and documentation is improved as the chance of forgetting to record important information is reduced.
