Version Control & Audit Trail

Every modification to an FMEA is recorded with: what changed, who changed it, when it changed, and the previous value. This creates a complete audit trail that satisfies IATF 16949 requirements for documented evidence of FMEA maintenance.

Named revisions let you snapshot the FMEA state at significant events: initial release, engineering change, customer complaint response, annual review. Each named revision is exportable as a standalone document.

When an auditor asks to see your FMEA revision history, export the complete change log filtered by date range, user, or field. The export includes before/after values for every change, showing the evolution of risk assessment over time.

Combine with action tracking history to demonstrate the complete continuous improvement cycle: risk identified → action assigned → action completed → risk re-evaluated → measurable reduction documented.
