Define Fault Mode

Explanation

This activity is used to define fault modes. Fault mode is a tool to standardize functional decomposing recorded upon fault registration. Fault mode can be categorized in two groups, symptoms and actual discovered. 

Fault modes are based on the fault functions defined for a product model. Note: If you want to utilize the copy functionality for fault modes, the product model you copy to must have the exact same fault function definitions as the one to copy fault modes from.

This activity can be performed from Fault Modes page.

Note: In the Fault Mode Type field, enter one of the possible values, Symptom, Actual Discovered, or Both. Fault mode type Both is meant to be used in those cases where fault mode is used for both fault registrations and reporting. If the fault mode type is set to Actual Discovered or Both, you need to enter values in the Sub Function and Bottom Function fields.
