Actions in FMEAs

In an FMEA or RCM, the actions typically are the tasks recommended by the FMEA team that can be performed to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with a potential cause of failure. Actions are resources that can be used multiple times in different locations, if appropriate. Any changes made to the action properties will be reflected in all locations where the same resource is used.

Actions will be available in FMEAs only if the Enable Actions for Causes option is selected in the current project's interface style. They can also be created and used in project plans and My Portal.

To access the commands to add or edit action records, right-click inside the FMEA hierarchy or worksheet, or use the Actions commands on the FMEA tab of the ribbon. (See FMEA Tab for a complete list.)

For information about the action properties and other general considerations that are applicable wherever the action may be used, see Actions.

Deleting Actions from an FMEA

To delete an action from a specific location in an FMEA, select the action and press Delete or right-click the action and choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

This removes the action from the current location, but the resource remains in the project so it can continue to be used in other places. If a resource is not being used in any other locations, in a secure database an authorized user (i.e., the project owner, the action creator or any user with the applicable “create/edit/delete resources" permission) can delete it via the Resource Manager.
