FMEA Plots

You can create an ad hoc plot for an FMEA or RCM analysis by choosing Home > Reporting > Plots.

In the window that appears, select the item(s) you want to include in the plot. The selected item(s) must include at least one FMEA, functional failure analysis or risk discovery analysis; otherwise the plot will not display any data. Click OK to launch the Plot Viewer, which will display the plot and provide options for editing the plot.

Note that for all pareto charts, you can specify the range of the FMEA records to show on the plot by using the Display Range area on the Plot Viewer's control panel. The scaling of the dependent axis will be based on the minimum and maximum data values of the records in the specified range. If you wish to manually assign values for the scaling, clear the Automatic Scaling check box on the control panel and then enter the desired values in the From and To fields, as shown next.

To save an image of the plot, click the Export Plot Graphic icon on the Plot Viewer's control panel. Plot images can be saved in *.jpg, *.gif, *.png or *.wmf format.

Types of Plots

The following list describes all available plots that can be created for an FMEA analysis. For general information on working with plots, see Synthesis Plot Utilities.

Note: Pointing to a point on the generated occurrence/severity matrix will display information about the cause, including its severity and occurrence ratings. Note that if your analysis contains a very large number of cause descriptions, pointing to a symbol in the matrix may not display all of the causes represented by that point. However, all causes are still displayed in the Plot Summary.

Copy Information from the Plot

You can copy the plot data to the Clipboard so that you can paste it into another application by clicking the Copy Plot Data icon in the plot's control panel.

You can copy the plot summary information to the Clipboard so that you can paste it into another application by clicking the Copy Plot Summary icon in the plot's control panel.
