Welcome to APIS IQ-Software (IQ: Integrated Quality), the software for https://www.apis-iq.com/services/training
FMEA, DRBFM, Risk Analysis, Functional Safety and Requirement
Management.
The APIS IQ-Software family includes the APIS Server software and the
APIS Client software.
As well as training sessions on the use of our software tools, we also offer
seminars in FMEA methodology and FMEA moderation. In addition, we are
also happy to offer our services as a partner for moderation services and
coaching.
We wish you a lot of success in using the APIS IQ-Software and will be
happy to help with any queries you may have.
In the seminar, you will learn step by step the different DRBFM functions
of the IQ-Software, which enable the efficient and team-oriented creation
of DRBFM.

Review-fit documentation of results for groups at our company’s facilities.
Systems with electrical and/or electronic components that carry out safety
functions are to be assessed with regard to safety aspects (so-called
hardware safety analysis). In this seminar, you will be introduced to a
procedure using the example of “low beam light” that you can use to
systematically derive safety goals for your item, validate the hardware
draft using a system FMEA, and calculate the quantitative parameters
(SPFM, LFM, and PMHF) in an Excel FMEDA. You will learn how to define
suitable safety mechanisms and analyze multiple-point failures in a fault
tree analysis (FTA). We will give you recommendations how to structure
the results documents to make them fit for reviews.

The APIS IQ-Software has become one of the leading FMEA tools on the
market since 1992, comprising an extremely broad range of functions that
you should learn step by step. That is why the courses for beginners on
the IQ-Software (TR02/TR03) initially impart only those basic functions
that are absolutely necessary to create and maintain a FMEA. It is
recommended to use these basic functions for a while to consolidate their
handling.
When the basic functions are confirmed, users usually claim more from
the IQ-Software: Can we do this and that faster or in a more convenient
way, etc.?
This is where the seminar comes in by providing further tips and tricks
regarding familiar editors and dialogs and introducing further editors and
concepts. Furthermore, we give recommendations regarding typical FMEA
working scenarios (e.g. input of a customer complaint). You will thus
become an advanced user of the APIS IQ-Software.
