To setup by code:

1. Select the Failure option and then click Add.

2. Complete the fields to define a failure on the Failure Analysis Revisions form.

3. Select the Failure tab, and complete the Failure Description field.

   Note:

   Depending on how you have set the Use Failure Analysis Tree for Selecting Failure Analysis Codes option in the SWM constants, when you search for values in the Failure Description field, one of these options occurs:

   • On the Failure Analysis Search & Select form, the system lists the existing failure analysis records from which you can select a record (this task).

   • On the Failure Analysis Tree Name Search & Select form, the system lists the tree names from which you can select a tree.

4. To add media objects or text descriptions that are longer than 80 characters, attach the information in the media object area.

5. Select the Failure Codes tab to attach failure codes to this record and to complete any or all of the Failure Analysis Code IDs fields.

   Note: If you make a mistake while adding a record, you can start over by choosing the appropriate Clear Failure, Clear Analysis, or Clear Resolution option from the Form menu.

6. Click OK and then click Cancel.

7. On the Work With Failure Analysis form, to add an analysis, select the Analysis option and then click Add.

8. Repeat steps 2 through 6 using the Analysis and the Analysis Codes tabs.

9. On the Work With Failure Analysis form, to add a resolution, select the Resolution option and then click Add.

10. Repeat steps 2 through 6 using the Resolution and Resolution Codes tabs.

11. On the Work With Failure Analysis form, if you want to add failures, analyses, and resolutions all at the same time, select the All option and then click Add.

12. Repeat steps 2 through 6, using all the tabs as needed.

13. When you finish adding failures, analyses, and resolutions, click OK.

14. The Failure Analysis Details Update window is displayed prompting you to confirm whether you want to save the updates for Pareto Analysis and increment the total number of hits.

    Click Yes if you want to update your details for Pareto Analysis. Click No if you only want to view the Pareto details.
