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.
