In this page, you can define the detectability and safety ratings for the equipment and for all the problems that occur on the equipment. Tell me more.
Select the “Define Detectablility/Safety Ratings” link from the bottom of the “Failure Analysis Configuration” page.
The “Define Detectability/Safety Ratings” page appears.
Enter the following field:
|
Eqp. |
The equipment for which you wish to define the detectability and safety ratings (Alphanumeric, 30). Mandatory. Ensure that the equipment is already defined in the “Create Equipment” activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component and is in the “Active” status. |
|
Help facility available | |
|
Press <Enter>. The system displays the detectability and safety ratings that have already been defined for the equipment as well as for the problems of the equipment. The description of the equipment is retrieved alongside. | |
|
Zoom facility available | |
|
The system displays the following field: |
|
|
Scale |
The scale that is applicable for the detectability and safety rating. The system displays the scale as “1 To 10”. |
Enter the following field:
|
Eqp. Detectability |
Enter a number between 1 and 10 to indicate the probability of detecting problems on the specified equipment (Decimal). |
|
Eqp. Safety Rating |
Enter a number between 1 and 10 to indicate the safety of the equipment (Decimal). |
Click the “Get Problem Codes From TSG” pushbutton if you wish to define the detectability and safety ratings for the various problems belonging to the trouble-shooting guides associated with the equipment.
The system retrieves all the problem codes belonging to the trouble-shooting guides associated with the equipment, in the “Detectability and Safety Ratings” multiline.
Enter the following field in the multiline to specify any other problem that occurs on the equipment:
|
Problem Code |
The problem that occurs on the equipment for which the detectability rating and safety must be defined (Alphanumeric, 30). Ensure that the problem is already defined as a standard problem in the “Create Problem Code” activity and is in the “Active” status. Also ensure that the problem code is unique to the multiline. |

|
Press <Enter>. The system retrieves the “Description” field in the multiline. | |
|
The system displays the following multiline field: |
|
|
Desc. |
The description of the problem. |
Enter the following field to define the detectability rating for the problem:
|
Detectability |
Enter a number between 1 and 10, to indicate the probability of detecting the problem when it occurs on the equipment (Decimal). Data entry in this field is mandatory if you are specifying a problem in the “Problem Code” field. |
|
Safety Rating |
Enter a number between 1 and 10, to indicate the safety of the equipment (Decimal). |
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to delete those problem codes for which you do not wish to define detectability and safety ratings.
Click the Delete icon in the toolbar above the multiline, to delete the selected problem codes.
Click the “Save” pushbutton to save the detectability and safety ratings.
Click the “Cancel” pushbutton to return to the previous page.
The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:
|

The login ID of the user who defined the detectability and the safety ratings. |
|
Created Date |
The date and time at which the detectability and safety ratings were defined. |
|
Last Modified By |
The login ID of the user who last modified the detectability and safety ratings. |

Last Modified Date |
The date and time at which the detectability and safety ratings were last modified. |
Define Detectability/Safety Ratings – An overview
|
|
In this page, you can define the detectability and safety ratings for the equipment and for all the problems that occur on the equipment.
You can provide a detectability rating for the equipment on a scale of 1 to 10, based on the probability of detecting the problems on the equipment. For example, a detectability rating of 1 can be provided for the equipment failure which can be detected very easily, whereas a detectability rating of 10 can be provided for the equipment failure which is very difficult to detect. You can also define the detectability rating for the problems that occur on the equipment. A higher detectability rating indicates that the problem is very difficult to detect, whereas a lower detectability rating indicates that the problem can be easily detected on the equipment.
You can provide a safety rating for the equipment on a scale of 1 to 10, based on the safety implications of the equipment. For example, a safety rating of 8 can be provided for equipment, the failure of which leads to hazards or fatal accidents, whereas a safety rating of 2 can be provided for equipment, the failure of which does not cause any fatal accidents, damages or severe hazards. You can also define the safety rating for the problems that occur on the equipment. A higher safety rating indicates that serious hazards can occur in the event of equipment failure due to the problem, whereas a lower safety rating indicates that the problem does not lead to serious hazards when it causes the failure of the equipment.
You can enter the problem code directly or retrieve the problem codes belonging to the trouble-shooting guide associated with the equipment.
This detectability rating and safety rating, along with the severity and occurrence ratings, can be used to conduct a failure analysis on the equipment, or for the problems that occur on the equipment, in the “Analyze Failures” activity.
The “Create Equipment” activity under the “Equipment Induction” business component.

Define detectability and safety ratings for equipment
You can define the detectability rating for equipment to indicate the ease with which problems can be detected on the equipment. You can also define the safety rating for equipment to indicate the rating for the safety of the equipment in the event of its failure.
Enter the detectability rating for the equipment in the “Equipment Detectability” field.
Enter the safety rating for the equipment in the “Equipment Safety Rating” field.
Define detectability and safety ratings for the problems of equipment
You can define the detectability rating for the problems that can occur on equipment to indicate the ease with which problems can be detected on the equipment. You can also define the safety rating for the problems to indicate the safety of the equipment in the event of its failure due to the occurrence of the problem.
Enter the detectability rating for a problem code in the “Detectability” field in the multiline.
Enter the safety rating for a problem code in the “Safety Rating” field in the multiline.
