Current State and Target State

Generally, different actions assigned to a cause of failure may have different statuses. While some actions are already finished others, may be active or in progress. Based on the set of actions and their individual statuses you may want to define a current state and a target state of rating. This can be done in two different ways.

Using a single action group
When using a single action group, the rating for the current state or target state is set by the rating with or without parentheses: "Occurrence rating", "(Occurrence rating)", "Detection rating", "(Detection rating)".

Using different action groups
When using different action groups to express current and target state, only the rating without parentheses should be used.
