Context

You use this procedure to create FMEA assessment using the assessment tile.

Procedure

Open the Assessment application.
Navigate to FMEA.

The Assessments screen appears.
Choose New.

The Create Assessment window appears.

Enter the following details

Field	Description
Description	Enter a description for the assessment.
Risk Type	You can select the risk type: Current Risk Mitigated Risk Unmitigated Risk
Show Risk Reduction as	Select how you want to display the risk reduction as currency or percentage.
Estimated Cost	Enter the cost involved in an activity selected during FMEA assessment
Estimated Frequency	Enter the frequency of an activity selected during FMEA assessment
Risk Reduction	Enter the reduction in cost due to FMEA assessment

Select the Assessment Template.

The required type of business objects is displayed. This information is fetched from the assessment template.
Choose Save.
In the assessment object page, enter the Assessment Information and Roles under Information tab
Enter Assignments.
- You can select one or more assignments and select Quick View to display the overview. The Quick View is available for equipment, locations, systems, and models.
- If equipment with model and location is already assigned to an assessment and you want to assign more equipment, then a new Recommended tab is displayed in the Assign Select Equipment dialog box. You can view and assign the matching models and locations in this tab.
  
  You can view and navigate to the location of an equipment assigned to the assessment from the Location column.
- You can View Maintenance Strategy for each of the assigned objects. In order to view the maintenance strategy, you have to:
  - Assign failure mode to the selected object, if one does not exist.
  - Assign the relevant effects and define severity for the failure mode.
  - Assign the causes and define values to calculate RPN. You must also assign preventive or corrective instructions and define the estimated cost, estimated frequency and risk reduction for each of the causes.
    
    Note Recommended instructions are displayed while assigning preventive and corrective instructions. This tab displays the instructions assigned to the same cause and failure mode for other objects in the same assessment.
  You can view the <Total Estimated Cost> and <Total Risk Reduction> for the selected assignment.
Note When assigning equipment with subequipment and model with submodels to an FMEA assessment, the system prompts a message whether to include the immediate subequipment or submodels to the assessment.
Add documents to the assessment under <Documentation>.

When uploading a new document, you now have the option to upload the document without running a duplicate check using Upload button. You can also run a duplicate check for the new document and if no duplicates exist only then upload the document using Check and Upload button.

- A newly created assessment of type FMEA will be in the Unpublished status. You can publish the assessment once finalized and no changes are to be made.
- You cannot change the assessment of type FMEA once published.

Results

RPN is calculated for the cause once assessment is published. The highest RPN for the causes assigned to a failure mode is displayed for the failure mode, the highest RPN for the failure modes assigned to the equipment is displayed for the equipment.
