Define failure modes of equipment as part of the RCM analysis for that equipment. When you delete failure modes, the associated functional failures will also be deleted.
To define failure modes:
-
Select one of these options:
-
Equipment > Assets
-
Equipment > Positions
-
Equipment > Systems
-
Equipment > Setup > Locations
-
-
Select the equipment for which to define failure modes, and then click the RCM tab.
-
Click Add/Edit Failure Modes.
-
Specify this information:
Description - Specify a description of the failure mode. Click Translations to translate the description text into a different language.
Function - Select the function for the failure mode.
You can only specify the function if the RCM Level is specified as FMECA (Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis) on the equipment
header record..
Probability - Select the probability of the failure.
These are defined on the Risk Matrix screen. The probability is protected for the Risk Analysis but can be specified for the Risk Assessment.
Probability % - Specify the percentage for the probability of the failure.
Sequence - Specify the sequence number for the functional failure to order the failures in the tree. If the sequence is not specified, the sequencing is listed in alphabetical order by the description.
Note - Specify note details as necessary.
-
Specify this work order information:
Problem Code - Specify the code to identify the type of problem.
Failure Code - Specify the failure code for the equipment.
Cause Code - Specify the cause code identifying the cause of the problem.
Action Code - Specify the action taken to resolve the problem.
Standard WO - Specify the standard WO for the failure mode.
Downtime Hours - Specify the number of hours that the equipment will be out of operation due to failure.
Downtime Cost - Specify the likely cost that will result from the equipment being out of operation due to failure.
Symptom - Specify the symptom for the failure mode.
Tactical Cause - Specify the tactical cause for the failure mode.
Human Factor - Specify the human factor that causes the failure.
Workmanship - Specify the workmanship factor that causes the failure.
Human Oversight - Specify the human oversight being associated with the failure mode.
Method of Detection - Specify the method of detecting the failure mode.
