Effect Analysis Grid failure modes

In the Tree view, each Part can be associated to multiple Failure modes. Next, you can specify for each failure mode what its effect is on a business objective. The failure mode is the way in which the failure is expressed and is specified by the selected input for a Failure cause. The failure mode is the association between a failure cause and a business objective.

In the column Comments free text can be entered with a description of the effect. This may aid in the process of verifying the effects.
