Analysis type An analysis type is a collection of preferred settings for strategy development analysis. The settings range from specifying how analysis titles are defaulted, to how avoidance savings are recorded on failure modes, to how risk analysis is performed (if at all), to whether analyses must be sent for approval. Selecting an analysis type on an analysis quickly ensures that its settings are correct and consistent with your organization’s standards. When defining an analysis type, you can specify the kinds of analysis it can be used with: MTA2, RCM2, RBI, CPR, SIF, HAZOP, Design FMECA, or a combination. For example, you could create two types for MTA2, one with risk analysis and one without. Or you could create a type that applies to both MTA2 and RBI analyses.
