Displaying RPN Metrics in the Plot Viewer

RCM++ also provides a variety of graphical charts based on RPN metrics. Choose Home > Reporting > Plots and then choose at least one item with FMEA data that will be displayed in the charts. The following charts are based on RPN ratings or metrics:

RPN (Pareto): a bar chart of causes ranked by initial and/or revised RPN.
RPN % Reduction Pareto: a bar chart of causes ranked by % reduction in RPN.
Occurrence/Severity Matrix: a matrix chart that displays the severity ratings on the horizontal axis and occurrence ratings on the vertical axis and then plots each cause at the position of its severity and occurrence ratings. Diagonal lines delineate high, medium and low priority areas.
SxO Pareto: a bar chart of causes ranked by SxO.
Effect Severity Pareto: a bar chart of effects ranked by severity rating.
Cause Occurrence Pareto: a bar chart of causes ranked by occurrence rating.
Cause Detection Pareto: a bar chart of causes ranked by detection rating.
Effect Severity Pie: a pie chart that shows the percentage of effects that have been assigned to each severity rating (e.g., 20% of the effects in the FMEA have a severity rating of 7 or higher).
Cause Occurrence Pie: a pie chart that shows the percentage of causes that have been assigned to each occurrence rating.
Cause Detection Pie: a pie chart that shows the percentage of causes that have been assigned to each detection rating.
