Generating a FMEA Risk Matrix Graph
When
Initial Risk Matrix or
Resulting Risk Matrix is selected on the
FMEA Graph Type page of the
Graph Wizard, you can generate a graph based on a risk matrix definition. For more information, see
FMEA Risk Matrix Files.
2. On the FMEA Graph Type page, select Initial Risk Matrix or Resulting Risk Matrix and click Next. No other data is necessary for this graph type. The Save Graph Template page appears.
Once the wizard closes, the Select FMEA window opens if more than one FMEA exists in the System file.
4. If the Select FMEA window opens, select the appropriate FMEA and click OK to generate the graph.
In the risk matrix, each cell displays the number of records assigned to it. When you place your mouse cursor over a value, a tooltip is shown. The top half of the tooltip displays the risk level (such as High, Medium, and Low). The lower half displays a descriptive field for the data level followed by the record identifier, which appears in parentheses. The descriptive field and record identifier for each data level follow:
• Item — Item Name (Item Identifier)
• Mode — Failure Mode (Mode Identifier)
• Cause — Cause of Failure (Cause Identifier)
• Effect — Local Effect (Effect Identifier)
• Action — Action Summary (Action Identifier)
