Visualize the identified risks in a risk matrix

The risk matrix displays a color-coded grid of the severity, occurrence, and detection values associated with the risks. You can use the risk matrix as a reference to prioritize the quality actions for risk mitigation.

Procedure

1. Open the FMEA and select the system element representation.

2. Click the Risk Matrix tab.

A default grid view of the severity and occurrence values of the failure causes associated with the risks is displayed. Administrators can Customize risk assessment scales modify the risk priority value in the risk matrix and override the calculated values if required.

3. You can do the following:

To view the grid view of the severity and detection values, on the top toolbar, click Severity vs Occurrence and from the list select Severity vs Detection.

To view the grid view of the detection and occurrence values, on the top toolbar, click Severity vs Occurrence and from the list select Detection vs Occurrence.

To view the internal as well as external failure causes and action groups associated with a risk, click the number in the cell. The Failure Cause and Action Group section displays all the failures.

To view all the actions associated with a failure, in the Failure Cause and Action Group section, select a failure. The Actions section displays all the quality actions, their type, and their status.
