In December 2021, Ford released their updated Customer Specific Requirements (CSR). A significant “first” in requiring their suppliers to manage Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) in software. The potential for other OEMs to follow suit is likely high and could permeate into sub-tier suppliers. This is a major departure from the past. The biggest problem with FMEA as it exists today is the use of Excel spreadsheets.
