More Analyses and Tools

Analysis Plans

Analysis Plans allow you to keep track of team members, ground rules, estimated completion dates, scheduled work sessions and other details that will help you to plan and manage your FMEA and RCM projects.

Parameter Diagrams (P-Diagrams)

A Parameter Diagram (P-Diagram) is a structured tool that identifies the inputs from a system and relates those inputs to the desired system outputs, while considering the controlled and uncontrolled factors.

FMEA Block Diagrams

An FMEA Block Diagram visually depicts the system assembly that will be analyzed in a Design FMEA. These diagrams help to define the scope of a particular analysis project and also may provide additional information that will be useful to the analysis team when they attempt to identify potential failure modes.

PFD Worksheets

A PFD worksheet records detailed information, including process characteristics (inputs) and product characteristics (outputs), for each step of the manufacturing or assembly process. The complete PFD worksheet provides a structure for preparing process FMEAs (PFMEAs) and control plans.

Control Plans

Control plans are used to track critical characteristics that must be kept in control during a manufacturing or assembly process, and record the methods for maintaining control.

Test Plans

A test plan displays a list of actions that describe specific tests that need to be performed.
