Create Failure Group – A summary of the activity

A failure group consists of equipment that fail due to similar problems. For example, equipment that fail due to corrosion caused by salty water can be classified as a failure group. Likewise, pumps on which mechanical seal failure occurs can be classified as a failure group. Failure groups are created so that equipment belonging to the failure groups can be monitored effectively, as they fail due to a common problem.

Note: One equipment can belong to only one failure group.

You can attach trouble-shooting guides to a failure group. A trouble shooting guide consists of a list of problems that are commonly reported in the equipment, their relations and the corrective action to be taken for solving such problems. When trouble-shooting guides are attached to the failure group, they are automatically attached to all the equipment belonging to the failure group. These trouble-shooting guides can be referred to, whenever a problem or failure is reported in the equipment belonging to the failure group.

• Use the “Create Failure Group” page to create a failure group.

Attch trouble shooting guides to the failure group

A trouble-shooting guide (TSG) consists of a list of problems that are commonly reported on the equipment and the corrective action that should be taken for solving such problems. You can attach trouble-shooting guides to the failure group so that they can be referred to whenever a problem or failure is reported on the equipment belonging to the failure group, and for the corrective action to be taken on the equipment.

• Use the “Attach Troubleshooting Guide” page to attach trouble-shooting guides to the failure group.
