Solution: Envision Analyst

Applying functional analysis rules allows design of high quality projects, compliant to users expectations, with the control of the necessary evolution and within budget

Envision Analyst® General Functional Analysis (F.A.) software

The solution proposes a wildly tested  methodology which implements standardized concepts for  functional analysis such as the European norm: NF X50-150 as taught in high engineering schools. The  associated graphical and intuitive modeling tool, structure the analysis process and increase productivity.

Built around a relational, multi-user data base, Envision Analyst® allows your team to develop, capitalize and share project's information in real time. Functions such as automatic documents generation and Web publications save time and privilege analysis work.

What functional analysis brings to your project

  • Early validates the expression of the fundamental need
  • Allows to identify, order, hierarchy and characterize all the functions of a project or system: Functionality and constraints for rules, quality, security, interfaces etc.
  • Allows evolutions justification and tracking (requirements genesis and management)
  • Allows checking product conformity and project status management
  • Reduces clients/provider conflict
  • Drive you to the best practices and technologies, but stays independent to any technical solution
  • Improves communication, documents quality and increase reliability
  • Is the first step for value and risks analysis

Typical case for functional analysis

You are involved in the study of a system, product or service and you face one or more following difficulties:

  • Specification of complex and evolving need
  • Production and management of complexes documents such as Functional Schedule of Conditions (FSoC) and/or technical specification
  • Managing large amount of functions, constraints or requirements
  • Seeking for clear communication with final client
  • Building refined quotation
  • Taking into account system's degraded mode (breakdown of sub system)
  • Edition of bulky and constantly evolving reports
  • Team work

Order: This type of project generates an impressive quantity of complex information. These data often evolve in time and are often re-used in different contexts. Envision Analyst® puts order in this forest by centralizing all information in a protected repository. Finding information becomes a trivial game.

Method: Creating unambiguous, non redundant information, easy to understand by all stakeholder and making sure nothing is missing (or incomplete) together with coherent data flows (the exit of a function correspond to the entry of another, in an other diagram), are the key elements for the success of your project.

The Analyst (F.A.) methodology

see also: Envision SADT-Idef0

The Envision Analyst's functional analysis methodology used, proposes a directed reasoning toward functions and service render to the user or to the customer.

It includes four steps:

  • Expression of the fundamental need
  • External functional analysis
  • Internal functional analysis
  • Product architecture

and five normalized documents:

  • Expression of the fundamental need report
  • External functional analysis report
  • Internal functional analysis report
  • Functional Schedule of Conditions report
  • Technical specification report

Solution key points

  • Offer a safe and validated methodology which structure the analysis process
    You are tightly guided in the control of the project

  • Increase analysis reliability

  • Include requirements management

  • Improve internal/external communication
    You produce standardized and convincing documents because they are complete and up to date

  •  Add value and share project information

  • Concentrate actors activities on tasks with higher added value.

Value analysis
Value analysis is used to track costs associated with each  functions of a product or service and to avoid redundancy.

The aim is to check, for each function, its ability to cover a real need, what does it cost and how it can be reduced. The analysis may also focus on value added at each stage of the manufacturing process.

The meta tool allows the definition of  precise criteria for values (quantity - cost -  added value - exchange value ...) and to implement calculations with macros defined by the user.

Scenarios are then evaluated and analyzed and  the best solution is identified. It is a decision aided tool.

Risks analysis

General - Safety and security

A fast developing activity in the industry in close association with quality assurance and promotion conducted by the Institute for Security Operations. It follows a functional analysis with which it is closely linked.
Module A for general risks analysis and  module B for systems failure risks analysis are associated within the MOSAR methodology in order to obtain an integrated tool with traceability over the risks information repository.
Risks analysis and prevention documents of the whole project or for one of its subsets are automatically generated.
