Risk Analysis
Once your requirements and components are mapped, you can conduct a comprehensive risk analysis to identify and document potential failures before they happen. For each risk, you can define the complete picture: the hazard type, sequence of events, hazardous situation, and potential harm. Assign an initial Risk Priority Number (RPN) to quantify the severity and create a clear baseline for your mitigation efforts. You also have the flexibility to manually introduce and define new risks at any point, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Transform your analysis into action by directly linking risks to their solutions. Associate specific controls and mitigations to each identified risk, creating a clear and traceable connection to the very requirements and components that address the issue. This creates a powerful, closed-loop system for accountability. After defining your mitigations, you can re-evaluate the risk to determine the residual RPN, giving you a quantifiable measure of how effective your controls are and providing auditable proof that your system is designed for safety and reliability.
- Define hazard type, sequence of events, hazardous situation, and potential harm
- Assign initial RPN to quantify and baseline risk
- Link controls and mitigations to requirements and components
- Re-evaluate residual RPN to prove effectiveness with traceability
