Risk Profiles

Use conditional formatting to visually represent different risk conditions. 


Quickly identify areas of concern based on severity, occurrence, or detection metrics, or create customized profiles for additional clarification.


A pre-determined list of options is available based on common industry standards. Simply toggle an option to render results according to the defined rules.


All rulesets can be modified and adjusted to meet specific needs.


Rules automatically adapt based on the template or feature being used. This ensures risk visualization is consistent, accurate, and aligned with the methodology or standards relevant to your FMEA analysis. 


For example:

  • The 4th edition template applies rulesets tailored for RPN.

  • When using AIAG & VDA templates, Action Priority (AP) is used, results are re-rendered accordingly.

  • If GM’s Risk Priority Level (RPL) is activated, the results are recalculated based on that ruleset.
