Automotive FMEA software

Your foundation FMEA, inherited by every project.

8Ds, warranty claims and Reverse FMEA findings become one weekly list. Approve once, and the foundation and every derived FMEA update. Meets Ford's 2026 CSR.

How it works, every week

Approve the fix once. It reaches every FMEA.

New evidence, matched

8Ds, warranty claims and R-FMEA findings checked against your FMEAs as they arrive.

One short list a week

Your FMEA owner gets a short list, not a re-review.

Approve once, it reaches everything

Each approved change reaches the foundation and every derived FMEA.

Nothing changes without your engineer's approval. Every change versioned and sourced.

Where Tacit AI makes the difference

Masters, projects, and the scale problem between them.

Start from the FMEAs you already have

Existing FMEAs from APIS IQ, PLATO or Excel become a reusable library. Your tool stays the record.

Keep foundation FMEAs current

Foundation FMEAs built from specs, drawings and BOMs, to AIAG-VDA. Every row sourced.

Design FMEA details

Every new program inherits what you know

Project FMEAs start from approved rows. Engineers review only what is new.

Consistent across programs, plants, and teams

See where FMEAs for the same part disagree, scored to AIAG-VDA or OEM tables.

From design risk to control plan

Characteristics carry into PFMEA, control plan and DVP&R, ready for PPAP.

Process FMEA details

Reverse FMEA findings, carried everywhere

Every R-FMEA finding reaches every station with the same error-proofing.

From our clients

What automotive engineering teams are saying.

“We evaluated Tacit AI for Design FMEA on a critical power electronics subsystem. The structured output and the approach to connecting information exceeded expectations. We’re proceeding with a formal pilot.”

Design FMEA
Exceeded expectations

“We can draft multiple FMEA per day, compared to one every week before Tacit AI. The improvement in data quality and standards helps us accelerate improvements.”

How you get there

One foundation FMEA this month. Every program next year.

Start with the family you know best. Each one after starts ahead.

MONTH 1

Start with one foundation FMEA

Bring one foundation FMEA and a few recent programs. First project FMEA in weeks.

MONTH 3

New programs built from the foundation

8Ds and field findings arrive ready to approve. Every derived FMEA updates.

YEAR 1

Every family and plant on one standard

Foundations stay current and the next audit is just another week.

Questions

Automotive FMEA questions, answered.

Can we start from our existing FMEAs?

Yes. Bring them in from APIS IQ, PLATO, Excel or any FMEA tool. Failure modes, causes and controls become a reusable library. Your current tool stays the system of record, and approved changes export back to it.

What is a foundation FMEA, and how does Tacit AI use it?

A foundation FMEA (also called a master, generic, or baseline FMEA) holds what your organization has learned about a product or process type. The AIAG-VDA handbook describes it, and Ford’s CSR requires foundation and part FMEAs to stay aligned in both directions. Tacit AI uses the foundation as the starting point for each new project FMEA and routes learnings from programs, 8Ds, and field data back to it for the owner to approve.

How is a new project FMEA built from the foundation?

Tacit AI matches the new program’s structure to the foundation and your library of approved rows and carries over everything that applies. Engineers confirm only what is new or different, and everything they confirm is reusable on the next program. Each product family starts from a richer library than the last.

How does it integrate with our systems?

Native connectors read your PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE), requirements tools (DOORS, Polarion, Codebeamer) and ERP and quality systems on the schedule you set, read-only, live within one business day of API access. Existing FMEAs come in from APIS IQ or your current tool, and approved changes export back to it. A REST API covers the rest of your toolchain. See all 100+ connectors.

Does Tacit AI satisfy OEM or PPAP requirements?

It produces what those requirements ask for: foundation and part FMEAs kept aligned, 8D learnings recorded in both, traceability from DFMEA through control plan, and output in each OEM’s format and rating tables. Submission and acceptance stay between you and your customer.

Is program and supplier data isolated?

Access, tenancy, retention, permitted reuse, and deployment boundaries are agreed before ingestion. Evidence is not reused across customers, suppliers, or programs unless the data owner explicitly authorizes it. Deploy in your own cloud tenant for full perimeter control.

How does it handle Reverse FMEA requirements?

Every Reverse FMEA finding becomes a PFMEA and control-plan change, carried to every station with the same error-proofing. Comparable equipment is screened with configuration differences visible. The trail from finding to control plan is recorded for the audit. R-FMEA workflow and OEM sources.

Can Tacit AI update an approved FMEA?

Yes, through the weekly list. Each change arrives with its source and every FMEA it affects. Your named owners approve or reject it under your document-control process. Only approved changes are written, and every revision is versioned.
