Project Properties

FMEA Structure

Each project has an FMEA structure that will be the same for all FMEAs and RCMs in the project.

  • Grouped Effects and Causes (commonly used for FMEA)

    The effects will be entered as separate records but displayed together in the FMEA; the software calculates RPNs based on the highest severity rating.

  • Effects Before Causes (can be used for FMEA or RCM)

  • Causes Before Effects (sometimes used for RCM)

Configurable Settings

Each project also has its own configurable settings that enable you to customize:

  • Data fields and names
  • Classifications, categories and other drop-down lists
  • Rating scales and preferences for FMEA risk priority metrics
  • Logic for risk discovery and RCM decision charts

Use the Select Profile from Library option in the project properties to quickly apply a predefined group of settings.
