Viewing the Decision Diagram for a Design FMECA

In the Strategy Development Analysis window, the Decision Diagram view displays a graphical representation of the results of the analysis. The diagram contains 27 decision boxes, each representing the answer to a specific question or series of questions associated with the failure mode evaluation. Included in each box is a count of the failure modes that answered the questions positively and the percentage that the count represents of the number of failure modes analyzed.

All of the action plans in the analysis are included on the decision diagram except for those with a recommended action of “To be analyzed separately” and “Not analyzed”. Failure modes with more than one action plan (primary and secondary actions) are represented on the decision diagram once for each action plan.

You can view the action plans for a decision box by double-clicking the icon or number in the box. For example:

Tip: You can print the decision diagram. Click the Analysis menu, Print, RCM2, and then Decision Diagram. For more information, see Printing Design FMECA Reports.
