FMEA Statistics Window

The FMEA Statistics window displays statistics about the FMEA, including the number of causes, the percentage of causes that have RPN ratings assigned, the number of actions, etc. To view these statistics, open the FMEA and then choose FMEA > Tools > FMEA Statistics.

Information about the database, project and item is displayed at the top of the report. In addition, the report presents the following statistics. If the Include sub-items option is selected, the totals represent the records associated with the FMEA for the selected item and the FMEAs for all of its sub-items. If this option is not selected, the totals represent the records in the current FMEA only.

• # of Items in Next Level: The total number of items in the next level of the system hierarchy below the current item (i.e., sub-items) and the number of those items that have at least one function defined.

• # of Functions: The total number of functions that have been defined for the current item and the number/percentage of those functions that have at least one associated failure.

• # of Failures: The total number of failures that have been defined for the current item and the number/percentage of those failures that have at least one associated effect. Also, if criticality analysis is enabled for the project, the number/percentage of those failures that have at least one of the criticality factors defined.

• # of Effects: The total number of effects that have been defined for the current item and the number/percentage of those effects that have at least one associated cause. Also, if RPNs have been enabled for the project, the number/percentage of those effects that have the severity rating defined.

• # of Causes: The total number of causes that have been defined for the current item and the number/percentage of those causes that have at least one action or control defined. Also, if RPNs have been enabled for the project, the number/percentage of those causes that have the occurrence and detection ratings defined.

• # of Controls: The total number of controls that have been defined for the current item.

• # of Actions: The total number of actions that have been defined for the current item and the number/percentage of those actions that are in each status: Overdue, Due, Complete or Reviewed and Approved.
