Failure Analysis

The PeopleSoft Maintenance Management Failure Analysis component enables you to perform a meaningful analysis of system-calculated metrics based on the tracking of failure events associated with a work order task. You can easily search and group the asset failure event data that you want to analyze. When the system calculates the metrics and displays the data for the selected asset failure events, the resulting data may include:

• Total Failure Count.

• Mean Time (Days) Between Failure (MTBF).

• Mean Time (Hours) to Repair (MTTR).

• Mean Cost (Currency) to Repair (MCR).

• Mean Reading (Meter Units) Between Failures.

To analyze one or more asset failure events, you:

• Enter the search criteria for the failure event data that you want to analyze.

• Select the appropriate analysis method by:

  • Selecting an analysis option from the available list of failure events.

    The default option for a new search is Failure Event (Detail), which shows all of the failure events that match your search criteria. You can choose one of the summary options that provide different summary views of the detail failure event data.

  • Selecting the failure event data that you want to analyze from the search results.

  • Selecting the Show Totals button to display the failure event totals based on the selected analysis method.

  • Creating a chart based on the select data.
