If yes , what was the software you have used to conduct FMEA ?

The process is very straightforward, and begins by identifying all of the probable failure modes. This analysis is based on experience, review, brainstorming, and you should use actual data for more accuracy
New designs or processes may not have actual historical data to draw from, but "proxy" data may be available from similar designs or processes. The next step is to assign a value on a 1-10 scale for the:
• severity ,
• probability of occurrence ,
• and probability of detection
for each of the potential failure modes. After assigning a value, the three numbers for each failure mode are multiplied together to yield a Risk Priority Number (RPN).
The RPN becomes a priority value to rank the failure modes, with the highest number demanding the most urgent improvement activity. Error-proofing, or poka-yoke actions are often an effective response to high RPN's.
If you have to conduct a lots of calculations for Failure Mode & Effect Analysis then it is prudent that you use a software

I'm familiar with FEMA as it applies to products, so I'm very interested to see what can be leveraged from FEMA in to the PM realm.
