Risk & Reliability Management

Predict reliability early (Prediction, RBD, Markov, LCC), plan and assess service risk (FTA, FMEA, MSG-3), and analyze failure data (FRACAS, ALT, Weibull).

R&R solution overview

The R&R solution suite helps businesses predict reliability as early as the design stage, establish effective maintenance strategies, and analyze failure data for continuous improvement.

Integrated with Windchill and ServiceMax, risk and reliability data is linked to the BOM and service history, creating a closed feedback loop that improves design.

Well suited to industries that demand high safety: aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, and heavy industry.

Analysis methods

Why choose Risk & reliability management?

Predictive Maintenance

Reduce downtime, optimize service and spare-part costs.

Industry standards compliance

MIL-HDBK-217, IEC 61709, IEC 60812, ARP 4761…

FRACAS / Weibull analysis

Make decisions based on real failure data from field service.

In-depth FMEA & FTA

Cause-effect and fault-tree analysis across the whole system.

Life Cycle Cost

Assess total cost of ownership (LCC) as early as the design stage.

Closed loop with PLM

Field failure data automatically updates FMEA and the BOM in Windchill.

Capabilities of Risk & reliability management

Reliability Prediction

Calculate MTBF using standards-based parts-count / parts-stress methods.

RBD & Markov

Model system reliability using block-diagram and state-based approaches.

FMEA / FMECA

Collaborative FMEA workshops, generating reports per AIAG-VDA and MIL-STD-1629A.

FTA

Build fault trees with logic gates and calculate top-event probability.

FRACAS

Track field incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and propose corrective actions.

ALT & Weibull

Accelerated life testing and Weibull/Lognormal distribution fitting for failure data.

Maintainability

Calculate MTTR, MDT, and analyze maintenance strategy.

MSG-3

Schedule maintenance using the MSG-3 methodology for aerospace/defense.

Frequently asked questions

Is Windchill PLM required to use R&R?

Not required — R&R can be used standalone. However, integration with Windchill delivers the strongest closed-loop quality and BOM-based traceability.

Which FMEA methodologies are supported?

Supports both AIAG-VDA (automotive), MIL-STD-1629A, IEC 60812 (general), and dedicated industry templates (medical, aerospace).

Can data be imported from ERP/IoT/SCADA?

Yes. ThingWorx Connector, REST API, and file ingestion support automated data flow from ERP/IoT/SCADA.
