System Hierarchy

Importing from Lambda Predict to Xfmea/RCM++/RBI

Although the system hierarchy that you work with in Lambda Predict is independent from the system hierarchy that you work with in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI, the Synthesis Platform makes it easy to import items from a prediction folio into a hierarchy that will be used for FMEA, RCM or RBI analysis. The original system configuration in the prediction folio will remain unchanged, and new (independent) records will be created in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI.

To use this feature, open the project in Xfmea, RCM++ or RBI and choose System Hierarchy > Add Items > Import > Import Lambda Predict Items.

The left side of the window displays all of the prediction folios that have been created in the current project using Lambda Predict. The right side of the window displays the system hierarchy from the prediction folio that is currently selected. Use the check boxes to select which items will be imported.

Any item properties in Lambda Predict that have an equivalent field in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI analyses (such as Part Number, Supplier, Item Description, etc.) will be imported.

There are two additional options:

Create URDs from published prediction models

The Synthesis Platform makes it possible to publish any failure rate calculated in a Lambda Predict prediction folio as a model resource that may be used in other Synthesis applications. (For details, see Publishing Models from Failure Rate Predictions in the Lambda Predict documentation.)

If you are importing prediction items that have been used to publish Synthesis models and you wish to use these published models to automatically define the reliability policies for the new items that will be created in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI, select the Create URD from published prediction models check box.

As an example, the following picture shows the reliability policy for an item imported from a MIL-217 prediction.

Create FMEA functions from the 'Function Description' field

If you are importing prediction items that have text in the "Function Description" field of the Lambda Predict item properties and you wish to use this text to automatically create the first FMEA functions for the new items that will be created in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI, select the Create FMEA functions from 'Function Description' field check box.

As an example, the following picture shows the function description for an item in Lambda Predict. This can be used to create the first function in the FMEA for the new item that is imported to the Xfmea/RCM++/RBI system hierarchy.
