Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for systematic identification and risk assessment of potential failures in designs, processes, or systems. Supports DFMEA (Design), PFMEA (Process), and FMEA-MSR (Monitoring & System Response). Uses AIAG-VDA 7-step methodology with Action Priority (AP) risk assessment replacing traditional RPN. Use when analyzing product designs for potential failures, evaluating manufacturing process risks, conducting proactive risk assessment, preparing for APQP/PPAP submissions, investigating field failures, or when user mentions "FMEA", "failure mode", "DFMEA", "PFMEA", "severity occurrence detection", "RPN", "Action Priority", "design risk analysis", or needs to identify and prioritize potential failure modes with their causes and effects.

trade-study-analysis

Conduct systematic trade study analyses using the DAU 9-Step Trade Study Process. Guides engineers through problem definition, root cause analysis (5 Whys, Fishbone), data collection from alternatives and datasheets, normalization calculations, weighted scoring, sensitivity analysis, and professional report generation with visualizations and decision matrices. Use when evaluating alternatives, comparing solutions, conducting trade-offs, or making engineering decisions.

rcca-master

Orchestrate complete Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA) investigations using the 8D methodology. Guides team formation (D1) with domain-specific recommendations, problem definition (D2), containment (D3), root cause analysis (D4) with integrated tool selection (5 Whys, Fishbone, Pareto, Kepner-Tregoe, FTA), corrective action (D5-D6), prevention (D7), and closure (D8). Use when conducting RCCA, 8D, root cause analysis, corrective action, failure investigation, nonconformance analysis, quality problems, or customer complaints.

problem-definition

Guide RCCA/8D problem definition using 5W2H and IS/IS NOT analysis. Transforms scattered failure data into precise, measurable problem statements that bound investigation scope without embedding cause or solution. Use when defining problems for root cause analysis, writing D2 sections of 8D reports, analyzing nonconformances, investigating failures, or when user mentions problem definition, problem statement, RCCA, 8D, failure analysis, or corrective action.

fishbone-diagram

Create comprehensive Fishbone (Ishikawa/Cause-and-Effect) diagrams for structured root cause brainstorming. Guides teams through problem definition, category selection (6Ms, 8Ps, 4Ss, or custom), cause identification, sub-cause drilling, prioritization via multi-voting, and 5 Whys integration. Generates visual SVG diagrams and professional HTML reports. Use when brainstorming potential causes, conducting root cause analysis, facilitating quality improvement sessions, analyzing defects or failures, structuring team problem-solving, or when user mentions "fishbone", "Ishikawa", "cause and effect diagram", "6Ms", "cause analysis", or "brainstorming causes".

concept-dev

This skill should be used when the user asks to "develop a concept", "explore a new idea", "brainstorm a system concept", "do concept development", "create a concept document", "run Phase A", "define the problem and architecture", or mentions concept exploration, feasibility studies, concept of operations, system concept, architecture exploration, solution landscape, or NASA Phase A.
