This analysis mode represents another statistical application integrated into FMEA analysis.
A right-click inside the table opens a context menu:
Here, you have the following options:
Show malfunction in - Opens the FMEA editor and shows the selected malfunction (as part of a function/malfunction net), or opens the Model Explorer.
Configure table - Opens a dialog with check boxes to show or hide certain columns. It is also possible to rearrange the order in which the columns are displayed.
Reset to default - Resets your choice about which columns you wanted to show or hide.
Optimize column widths - Changes the widths such that no information in any column is truncated. Do note that this operation may have the side-effect of moving columns to outside the area visible on your screen. Scroll back or resize as required.
Show text filter - Here you can show or hide the "Enter filter text" field above the table.
Export table - This exports your table to MS Excel. The application should open automatically.
Export selection - Opens the selected part of the table in Excel.
Note that there are options regrading the Frequency and difference analysis in the Preferences menu: in addition to naming your diagram, you can adjust the x- and y-axis and change the labeling of the axis and the diagrams title. You can also show grid lines.
As opposed to Working With the Risk Matrix, the Frequency and Difference Analysis lends itself to comparative reviews by placing two or more action groups alongside one another. Thus, it can be useful to derive a “before and after” juxtaposition by treating a revised Action Group as a potential improvement over the original one. The FDA will provide an indication as to the extent of any such improvement.
