Use the Failure Analysis page to record the findings from a detailed failure analysis on a part that has been repaired or replaced during an incident.
To create a new failure analysis report, click the New link in the Replaced/Repaired Part(s) table in the Incident Repair Information area of the Incident page.
After you have entered the required fields (highlighted with red boxes), choose Home > Failure Analysis > Create to create the new record.
The fields and features on this page depend on the configurable settings for the entity. Your implementation may have different fields enabled, with different names, and/or may be used in a different way that fits the needs of your organization. Some fields in a typical implementation are described below.
The Failure Type drop-down list contains the same options that were available in the incident's Repair or Replace Parts window. Together with the incident category, this field determines whether the failure will be treated as "chargeable" or "non-chargeable" in reliability analysis.
If you change the failure type in the failure analysis page for a repaired/replaced part, it will also be updated in the incident. (See Select the Failure Type.)
A failure analysis report is always linked to the incident in which the part was repaired or replaced. In addition, that incident may be associated to one or multiple problems, and each of those problems can be associated to a project.
Failure analysis reports are not automatically associated to all the problems that the linked incident is associated to. Use the Associated Problem field if you wish to create an association to one of those problems. If a failure analysis report is directly associated to a problem, it can be tracked in the project(s) that the problem is associated to.
A Status field allows users to add notes about the progress made, and also send e-mail notifications if applicable. If enabled for the entity, this field is not displayed until the record is created. (See Status Fields.)
An Associated Files field allows users to upload file attachments, link to files in another location (e.g., a document management website) or link to another record in XFRACAS. If enabled for the entity, this type of field is not displayed until the record is created. (See Attachments.)
An Actions field contains a list of specific assignments that need to be tracked and completed. If enabled for the entity, this type of field is not displayed until the record is created.
Click Create New Action, 
,
to add a new assignment. (See Actions.)
The Technician Name fields allow you to specify the user(s) who performed various tasks in the failure analysis. These drop-down lists show users who have the "FA Engineer" category for the current entity.
In the ATP/Burn-in Area, the Test Duration fields allow you to specify the length of the test in hours or portions of an hour (e.g., 1 indicates 1 hour and .25 indicates 15 minutes).
