Create an FMECA system

To create an FMECA System

1. Go to the Main screen in Tree view (if needed, by clicking the View button and choosing option Tree)
   

2. Right-click a desired folder and select Add FMECA system.

3. Alternatively, select the desired folder, click the + icon and select Add FMECA system.

4. If the Property panel does not open, then double click the newly created system.

5. In the Properties area, in the Name field, enter a name for the system, for instance Plant X.

6. Click outside of the Name field to save the name.

7. Optionally, set a risk matrix for this system, by copying the data from an existing system. See: Reusing a risk matrix

   FIELD	DESCRIPTION
   Name	Here the user can freely choose a name for the object. A logical name would be the name the object has in real-life.
   Description	A description of the FMECA System may be provided here (optional). If entered, this description will also be visible in the tree structure.

Objects related to an FMECA System

After defining an FMECA System object, the user can create the following object types as a child object:

• Serial System

• Redundant System

• Part

  Note: Alternatively, the user can copy an existing hierarchy of objects, and if the top element of that hierarchy is one of the types above, paste it as a new structure under the newly created FMECA System.

Subsystems of the serial system

Systems can be decomposed into subsystems to better handle its complexity and enable a better resemblance of the real-life situation.

Creating a serial system

Creating a serial system is similar to the steps in Create an FMECA system.

Objects related to a serial system

After defining a serial system object, you can create the following object types as a child object:

• Serial System

• Redundant System

• Part

• UBM high (High level Use Based Maintenance object)

• CLM (Clustered Maintenance object)
