Setting up Failures, Analyses, and Resolutions by Tree

Access the Work With Failure Analysis form.

To setup by tree:

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 Tree Name Search & Select form, the system lists the tree names from which you can select a tree (this task).

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

4. On the Failure Analysis Tree Name Search & Select form, select a tree name and click Select.

5. On the Failure Analysis Tree Search & Select form, expand the tree, select a code, and click Select.

   On the Failure tab of Failure Analysis Revisions form, the system displays the failure description from the tree. The code structure from the tree is also automatically loaded into the Failure Analysis Code ID fields on the Failure Codes tab.

6. To add media objects or text or to revise the text that the system retrieves from the last failure code, attach the information in the media object area.

   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.

7. Click OK, and then click Cancel.

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

9. Repeat steps 2 through 7 using the tree name and analysis description.

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

11. Repeat steps 2 through 7 using the tree name and resolution description

12. 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.

13. Repeat steps 2 through 7, using all the tabs as needed.

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

15. 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.
