GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR FAILURE MODE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method to facilitate a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) project associated with one or more components or process during a product development cycle, wherein a real time FMEA status is viewable through a user interface indicating the progress of the FMEA project, the method comprising:
- displaying on the user interface one or more information pages associated with sequential order of elements to be completed by one or more FMEA analysts;
receiving, with an aid of the user interface, textual inputs from the one or more FMEA analysts to be filled in the one or more information pages associated with the sequential orders of elements; and
representing, to the one or more FMEA analysts, the sequential order of elements in a tree structure.

Abstract
A method to facilitate a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) project associated with one or more components or process during a product development cycle is provided. A real time FMEA status is viewable through a user interface which indicates the progress of the FMEA project. The method includes displaying on the user interface one or more information pages associated with sequential order of elements to be completed by one or more FMEA analysts. The method further involves receiving with an aid of the user interface textual inputs from the one or more FMEA analysts for the one or more information pages associated with the sequential orders of elements. The method further includes representing, to the one or more FMEA analysts, the sequential order of elements in a tree structure format. The information associated with the sequential order of elements is editable and is updated in real time.

51. A system comprising:
-
a processor for facilitating a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) project associated with one or more components or process during a product development cycle, a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; displaying on a user interface one or more information pages associated with sequential order of elements to be completed by one or more FMEA analysts; receiving, with an aid of the user interface, textual inputs from the one or more FMEA analysts to be filled in the one or more information pages associated with the sequential orders of elements; and representing, to the one or more FMEA analysts, the sequential order of elements in a tree structure, wherein a real time FMEA status is viewable through the user interface indicating the progress of the FMEA project.

52. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for facilitating a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) project associated with one or more components or process during a product development cycle, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying on a user interface one or more information pages associated with sequential order of elements to be completed by one or more FMEA analysts; receiving, with an aid of the user interface, textual inputs from the one or more FMEA analysts to be filled in the one or more information pages associated with the sequential orders of elements; and representing, to the one or more FMEA analysts, the sequential order of elements in a tree structure, wherein a real time FMEA status is viewable through the user interface indicating the progress of the FMEA project.
