With the debut of its Stature product, quality management software provider Dyadem International Ltd. is giving manufacturers a new enterprise-level tool for ensuring the quality of their products and manufacturing processes.

The Stature application works in conjunction with Dyadem's existing applications for managing product and process quality throughout their lifecycles, including the company's core FMEA Pro program, the backbone of which is the half-century-old failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) methodology for product and process risk analysis. This codified system aims to identify potential product failure and defects at both the design and manufacturing stages, thereby avoiding hazardous situations for end customers and manufacturing operations personnel alike.

The FMEA process involves a manufacturer's design teams as well as its manufacturing personnel, and is in use at NASA, Cisco, Intel, and hundreds of other companies, said Kevin North, president and CEO of Dyadem.
