Failure types with inconsistent S ratings

Explanation:

A search will be performed for failure types with more than one instance, whereby the instances have inconsistent S ratings

Note:

  • Types are IQ-objects that are recorded in Catalogs and carry information that is the same for all instances of the type
  • Instances of IQ-objects are created when IQ-objects are selected from the Catalogs and reused elsewhere in the IQ-Software

Example:

  • The failures BF1 and BF2 are anchored at three different functions BFn1, BFn2 and BFn3. They each, therefore, appear three times in the structure, which can be identified with the number in the curly braces {3}. The display option “Instance count” must be active to see this number.
  • The failures BF3 and BF4 are each anchored at two functions BFn3 and BFn4 and therefore have each two instances ({2}).
  • With the display option “Severity” active, it is possible to see the S rating assigned to all failures listed.
