Viewing failure analysis record of equipment

View Failure Analysis Record - By Equipment

This page allows you to view the details of the failure analysis carried out on equipment. Tell me more.

Select the hyperlinked failure analysis number from the “Equipmentwise Analysis Records” multiline of the “Select Failure Analysis Record” page.

The “View Failure Analysis Record - By Equipment” page appears.

The system displays the following fields:

Failure Analysis No.	The number of the failure analysis.
Prepared On	The date on which the failure analysis was done.
Prepared By	The employee ID of the user who carried out the failure analysis.
Analysis From	The starting date of the failure analysis.
To	The ending date of the failure analysis.
Analysis Configuration Rev. No.	The revision number of the analysis configuration, for which the failure analysis was performed.
Analysis Type	The system displays “Equipment” as the type of analysis.
	The system displays the following fields in the “Analysis Results” multiline:
Eqp.	The equipment for which the failure analysis was done.
Desc.	The description of the equipment.
Severity	The severity rating of the equipment which indicates the severity of failure of the equipment. The higher the severity rating, the greater the impact of the failure of the equipment in terms of production down hours, maintenance expenses and safety implications.
Occurrence	The occurrence rating of the equipment. This indicates the frequency of occurrence of problems on the equipment. A higher occurrence rating indicates that problems occur more frequently on the equipment than the equipment that has a lower occurrence rating.
Detectability	The detectability rating of the equipment as defined in the “Define Failure Analysis Parameters” activity. A higher detectability rating indicates that problems are difficult to detect on the equipment whereas a lower detectability rating indicates that problems can be easily detected on the equipment.
Risk Factor	Risk factor is an indicator of the performance of the equipment in terms of availability, cost incurred and from the safety point of view during the analysis period. This field is calculated by multiplying the severity, occurrence and the detectability ratings of the equipment. The system leaves this field blank, if detectability ratings have not been assigned for the equipment or if the failure analysis configuration has not been done.
Recommended Actions	Any remedial action that is to be taken for handling the impending failure of the equipment and to reduce the risk factor in future.

To proceed, carry out the following

Select the “View Analysis Configuration” link from the bottom of the page to view the configuration details based on which the analysis is done.
Select the “View Detectability/Safety Ratings” link from the bottom of the page to view the detectability and safety ratings defined for the equipment.

Note: The system displays in the “View Failure Analysis Configuration” page, the details of the failure analysis configuration for the analysis that is being viewed.

View Failure Analysis Record - By Equipment – An overview

This page allows you to view the details of the failure analysis carried out on equipment. The system displays the following details of the failure analysis:

the failure analysis number along with the employee ID of the user who performed the analysis and the date on which the analysis was done
the period for which the analysis was done
the revision number of the failure analysis configuration, for which the failure analysis was done
the equipment on which the failure analysis was done, along with the description
the severity rating of the equipment which indicates the severity of failure of the equipment
the occurrence rating of the equipment. This rating indicates the number of times problems have occurred on the equipment.
the detectability rating of the equipment. This rating indicates the probability of detecting problems when they occur on the equipment. A higher detectability rating indicates that problems are difficult to detect on the equipment, whereas a lower detectability rating indicates that problems can be easily detected on the equipment.
the risk factor associated with the equipment. This risk factor is calculated by multiplying the severity, occurrence and the detectability ratings of the equipment, and it lies between 1 and 1000. Risk factor is an indicator of the performance of the equipment in terms of availability , cost incurred and from the safety point of view during the analysis period. A higher risk factor indicates that the performance of the equipment is bad and that some failure reduction measures must be taken to reduce the risk factor.
the remedial actions that must be taken for reducing the risk factor of the equipment
