Setting Up Failure Analysis Codes

Access the Failure Analysis Code Revisions form.

Set up failure analysis codes if you use codes to define a unit of failure. The codes are the building blocks of the tree, but you are not required to set up trees to use failure analysis codes. You can use these codes with failures, analyses, and resolutions that are associated with cases or work orders.

The system does not recognize these codes until you attach them to a transaction. You can associate codes with a failure, analysis, or resolution by using a tree, which standardizes how the codes are defined. Alternatively, you can select a code from a table.

When you create failures, analyses, and resolutions, you can associate as many as seven failure analysis codes to define the failure, analysis, or resolution. You can also create as many as five UDCs to associate with each failure analysis code; you might create these codes for reporting purposes. You must set up failure analysis codes if you are using the failure analysis tree.

You can assign these failure analysis types to failure analysis codes:

• Failure

• Analysis

• Resolution

• All of these
