DRBFM Tab
The DRBFM tab is visible when working with a Design Review Based on Failure Mode (DRBFM) analysis.
DRBFM Records
Parts/Functions adds or
inserts cells in the DRBFM worksheet for describing the change
and the parts/functions that might be affected by the change.
Concerns adds or inserts cells
in the DRBFM worksheet for describing concerns related to the
change. The concerns in a DRBFM are similar to the failure modes
in an FMEA. The DRBFM worksheet provides two columns for concerns.
The Design Engineer view displays only the first column and the
Review Team view displays both columns. For a given row of the
worksheet, you can type in only one column or the other.
Effects adds or inserts
cells in the DRBFM worksheet for describing the effects that may
result if the concern (failure mode) occurs.
Causes adds or inserts cells
in the DRBFM worksheet for describing the possible causes of the
concern. The DRBFM worksheet provides two columns for causes.
The Design Engineer view displays only the first column and the
Review Team view displays both columns. For a given row of the
worksheet, you can type in only one column or the other.
Controls adds or inserts
cells in the DRBFM worksheet for describing the controls that
are in place to reduce the likelihood that the cause will occur
(Prevention Controls) or increase the likelihood that the cause
will be detected before it reaches the end user (Detection Controls).
Actions adds or inserts
cells in the DRBFM worksheet for describing the actions that will
be assigned to address the concern. The DRBFM worksheet provides
separate columns for three types of actions: design-related actions,
testing-related actions and manufacturing-related actions. For
a given row of the worksheet, you can define any or all of the
three types of action.
Sync
Get Functions from FMEA
displays a list of all functions defined in the FMEA. You can
choose to import
any of these functions to the DRBFM.
Send Functions to FMEA displays
a list of all functions defined in the DRBFM. You can choose to
export
any of these functions (along with all related concerns, effects,
causes, controls and actions) to the end of the FMEA.
Get Header from FMEA imports
the data from the FMEA header to the DRBFM header. This will replace
any header information that has been defined already for the DRBFM.
Send Header to FMEA exports
the data from the DRBFM header to the FMEA header. This will replace
any header information that has been defined already for the FMEA.
Tools
History Log is available only
if a history log has been activated at the project level. It opens
the Record History Log window for
the current analysis and displays changes that have been performed
for the analysis.
Configurable Settings opens
the Properties window
where you can change the properties that are available for the
DRBFM records in this project.
