Optimize risks by identifying recommended actions

After analyzing the risks, you must optimize them by identifying some recommended actions. To do so, you can add prevention actions and detection actions. You can use template actions to create these prevention and detection actions. For each of these actions, you can specify a due date, occurrence, and detection values, and assign a responsible user for the action. The final priority is calculated based on the occurrence and detection values you have specified.

The responsible user can then mark the activity as complete and the system automatically assigns a completion date.

Procedure

1. Open an FMEA object.

2. Select a failure representation from the FMEA structure.

3. Click the Risk Analysis and Optimization tab and from the Failure Root Cause Actions table, select a failure cause.

You can add multiple prevention actions and detection actions to a failure cause.

Add a prevention action linked to a failure cause

Procedure

1. Open an FMEA object.

2. Click the Risk Analysis and Optimization tab and from the Failure Root Cause Actions table, select a failure cause.

3. In the Failure Root Cause Actions table, click Add , and select Prevention Action or Prevention Action from Template.

4. In the Add Quality Action panel, specify the required parameters.If you select Prevention Action from Template, in the Add Quality Action from Template panel, select the required template from the list of existing templates and click Select.

5. Click Add to create the quality action.

The system automatically creates the Revision State group, if it is not already created, and adds the quality action to it.

6. To specify a detection value, in the Failure Cause Actions table, select the action group, or expand the action group to select an action, double-click the required cell in the Detection column, and select a value from the list.
