Requirements Flowdown Software

1. This is where Omnex Systems’ Requirements Flowdown Software plays a transformative role. Built as a digital-first solution, it enables enterprises to seamlessly capture, decompose, trace, and validate requirements throughout the product lifecycle. More than a simple requirements management tool, it is designed as part of Omnex’s integrated ecosystem that supports APQP, FMEA, PPAP, Control Plans, and other core quality processes. 1. What is Requirements Flowdown Software? Requirements Flowdown Software (RFD) is a structured digital platform that ensures the voice of the customer (VOC) is clearly understood, systematically translated, and consistently flowed down from high-level concepts to detailed components. In essence, it connects what customers want with how organizations design, test, and validate products. For example: A customer may specify a vehicle must meet certain safety performance targets. Omnex’s RFD software breaks this down into system-level requirements, then further into subsystem and component-level requirements. Each requirement is linked with corresponding design FMEAs, process controls, and test plans. Finally, these requirements are validated and approved through structured reviews, leaving no ambiguity or gaps. By August 2025, this level of rigor has become essential not only for compliance but also for maintaining competitive advantage in industries dominated by innovation and regulation. 2. Key Features of Omnex’s Requirements Flowdown Software

2. a. Hierarchical Requirements Trees The system enables organizations to build multi-level requirement structures—whether system, subsystem, or part-level. These trees can be tailored to company workflows and reused across projects, increasing efficiency. b. V-Model Traceability Omnex leverages the V-Model framework, ensuring that each requirement is linked directly to its verification and validation activity. Nothing is left unchecked—every customer expectation is traceable from concept to testing. c. Automated Linkages Across Tools Requirements automatically flow into related tools such as DFMEA, PFMEA, Control Plans, and Test Plans. This eliminates manual duplication and ensures complete integration. d. Color-Coded Tracking Requirements can be visually monitored with color-coded states, giving teams immediate visibility of progress, approvals, and pending actions. e. Integration with Standards The tool supports alignment with ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), ASPICE, ISO 21434 (Cybersecurity), AIAG-VDA FMEA, SOTIF (ISO 21448), and IATF 16949. This ensures compliance while reducing audit preparation efforts. f. Change Impact Analysis When requirements change—a common occurrence—the platform highlights the impact across related designs, FMEAs, and tests. This helps organizations adapt quickly without losing consistency. g. Real-Time Dashboards Stakeholders can track progress, identify bottlenecks, and generate instant reports for management reviews and regulatory audits. 3. Why Requirements Flowdown is Critical in 2025 By August 2025, product development challenges have grown more complex: Electrification & Sustainability: Automotive OEMs face pressure to meet carbon neutrality goals, requiring complex requirements traceability across battery systems, software, and safety.

3. Cybersecurity & Software-Driven Products: As vehicles, aerospace systems, and medical devices become software-centric, cybersecurity compliance per ISO 21434 is mandatory. Regulatory Expansion: Global markets enforce strict rules on functional safety (ISO 26262) and environmental standards, demanding precise traceability. Global Collaboration: Distributed teams across continents need a unified platform to prevent silos. Compressed Timelines: Organizations must bring products to market faster, while still maintaining quality and safety standards. Omnex’s Requirements Flowdown Software directly addresses these challenges by digitizing the flow of requirements, ensuring nothing gets lost, overlooked, or misinterpreted. 4.
