Viewing failure analysis record of problems occurring on the equipment

View Failure Analysis Record - By Problem Code

This page allows you to view the details of the failure analysis performed on the problems that occur on the equipment. Tell me more.

Select the hyperlinked failure analysis number from the “Problem Codewise Analysis Records” multiline to view its details.

The “View Failure Analysis Record - By Problem Code” 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 login ID of the user who performed 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 “Problem Codes” as the type of analysis.
Eqp.	The equipment for which a problem code-wise failure analysis was done.
The system displays the following fields in the “Analysis Results” multiline:
Problem Code	The problem for which the failure analysis was done.
Desc.	The description of the problem.
Severity	The severity rating of the problem, which indicates the seriousness of the problem when it occurs on the equipment. A higher severity rating indicates impact of failure in terms of production down hours, maintenance expenses and safety implication.
Occurrence	The occurrence rating of the problem, which indicates the frequency of occurrence of the problem on the equipment. A higher occurrence rating indicates that the problem occurs more frequently on the equipment than the problem that has a lower occurrence rating.
Detectability	The detectability rating of the problem when it occurs on the equipment. A higher detectability rating indicates that the problem can be easily detected on the equipment, whereas a lower detectability rate indicates that the problem is difficult to detect on the equipment.
Risk Factor	The risk factor that indicates the criticality of the problem in that equipment. The risk factor is calculated by multiplying the severity, occurrence and detectability ratings of the problem. The system leaves this field blank, if any of these ratings have not been assigned for the problem.
Recommended Actions	Any remedial action that is to be taken for handling that problem in 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.

View Failure Analysis Record - By Problem Code – An overview

This page allows you to view the details of the failure analysis performed on the problems that occur on the 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 for which the problems were analyzed
the problemcodes on which the failure analysis was done, along with their description
the severity rating of the problem which indicates the seriousness of the problem when it occurs on the equipment. A higher severity rating indicates that the problem is more severe than the problem that has a lower severity rating.
the occurrence rating of the problem on the equipment. A higher occurrence rating indicates that the problem occurs more frequently on the equipment than the problem that has a lower occurrence rating.
the detectability rating of the problem on the equipment. A higher detectability rating indicates that the problem is difficult to detect on the equipment, whereas a lower detectability rate indicates that the problem can be easily detected on the equipment.
the risk factor of the problem, which is calculated by multiplying the severity, occurrence and the detectability ratings of the problem. A higher risk factor indicates that the problem has greater chances of causing the equipment to fail.
the remedial actions that must be taken for reducing the risk factor of the problem.
