The Failure Analysis section within MVP allows you to set up specific ways that Assets can fail in MVP. This is done by linking specific types of failures to Asset Types.

Additionally solutions to these issues can also be set up and linked to these failures. This set up allows more in depth analysis of how Assets fail and the best way to solve those issues. 

 

Setting Up Failure Modes

The first step to setting up Failure Analysis is to create Failure Modes. These help identify the various ways that Assets can break down. 

 

Steps to Create a Failure Mode:

1. Select Work.
2. Select Failure Modes.
3. Select New.

Failure Mode Fields:

• Failure Mode 
  • This field identifies the name of the Failure Mode.
• Description
  • This field describes the Failure Mode. 

 

See Failure Mode created below as an example. 

 

Setting Up Solutions

The next step in setting up Failure Analysis is to create Solutions. These help identify the solutions that can be used to solve Asset failures. 

 

Steps to Create a Solution:

1. Select Work.
2. Select Solutions.
3. Select New.

Solution Fields:

• Solution
  • This field identifies the name of the Solution.
• Description
  • This field describes the Solution.

 

See Solution created below as an example.

 

 

 

Linking to Assets

The final step in setting up Failure Analysis is to link Failure Modes and Solutions to specific Asset Types. This is done to show how these type of Assets can breakdown and be repaired.

 

Steps to Access Failure Analysis:

1. Select Work.
2. Select Failure Analysis.

 

This will bring up a list of Asset Types as well as options that will allow you to filter the list view. 

 

 

Steps to Set Up Failure Analysis:

1.Select an Asset Type from the list.

2.Select the blue box icon in the dropdown and select a Failure Mode from the list. You will then see the selected Failure Mode linked below the Asset Type.

 

 

3.Next select the Failure Mode.

4.Select the blue box icon in the dropdown and select a Solution from the list.  

 

The Failure Analysis should now look like the below image. In this case the Asset Type "Pump" has a possible Failure Mode of "Damage" and a linked Solution of "Repair." 

 

 

Failure Analysis Actions

The Failure Analysis Action menu allows various shortcuts to set up Failure Modes and Solutions.

Failure Analysis Actions:

• Create Failure Mode
  • This action will allow users to create a Failure Mode record without having to go to the Failure Mode list.
• Create Solution.
  • This action will allow users to create a Solution record without having to go to the Solution list.
• Link Failure Mode to All
  • This action will link the selected Failure Mode to all Asset Types in the list.
• Link Solution to All
  • This action will link the selected Solution to all Failure Modes in the list.
• Reset Failure Analysis Tree
  • This action will remove all links previously created in Failure Analysis. This should only be done if a User wants to reset and work from a blank slate.
