Xfmea Report Sample – Machinery FMEA

This report was generated with ReliaSoft Xfmea by HBM Prenscia software in Microsoft Word. Similar
reports can also be generated in Microsoft Excel. You can easily replace the Xfmea logo graphic with
your own company logo. Within Word and Excel, reports can be edited/annotated, if necessary, and
generated in PDF and/or HTML format for easy distribution.

This report includes:

• A summary of the rating criteria (Severity Scale, Occurrence Scale, Detection Scale) and
classifications that were used in the analysis.
• The Machinery FMEA (MFMEA) spreadsheet report in the SAE J1739 reporting format.
• A summary list of the recommended actions identified during the analysis.

The report is based on the sample analysis provided in the SAE J1739 guidelines, on page 45.
