Action groups with no actions, but with O/D ratings < 10

Explanation:

A search will be made for action groups, which have an O or D rating less than 10, but no corresponding preventive or detection actions are assigned.

Example:


Abbreviations
  • ASIL = Automotive safety integrity level
  • BF = Base failure of a base function
  • BFn = Base function of a base structure element
  • BSE = Base structure element
  • Cl Prc = Classification for process characteristic
  • Cl Prd = Classification for product characteristic
  • Cl Req = Classification for requirement
  • CM = Control method
  • DA = Detection action
  • DC = Diagnostic coverage
  • DSCF = Dangerous safety critical failure
  • Er Det = Error detection
  • Er Resp = Error response
  • F = Failure
  • FIT = Failure in time
  • Fn = Function
  • FSM = Functional safety management
  • IE = Inspection equipment
  • LF = Latent fault
  • LFM = Latent fault metric
  • OC = Operating condition
  • PA = Preventive action
  • PE = Process element
  • PFH = Probability of failure per Hour
  • PMHF = Probabilistic metric for random hardware failures
  • PrcC = Process characteristic
  • PrdC = Product characteristic
  • QM = Quality method
  • QR = Quality rule
  • Req = Requirement
  • RMR = Risk Matrix Ranking
  • RP = Reaction plan
  • SE = Structure element
  • SE ErDet = Structure element for error detections
  • SE ErResp = Structure element for error responses
  • SFF = Safe failure fraction
  • SG = Safety Goal
  • SIL = Safety integrity level
  • SM = Organisational-SE for “safety mechanisms”
  • SPF = Single point fault
  • SPFM = Single point fault metric
  • TF = Top failure of a top function
  • TFn = Top function at root element
  • TS = Test sample


  • In the above structure, both action states and action groups are assigned to four different failures. The action groups have random O and D ratings assigned. Detection and preventive actions have also been randomly distributed to action groups.
  • This Quality rule finds action groups which have ratings assigned that are lower than 10, but of these assigned ratings, no actions are allocated. It is expected that any O or D rating has a corresponding preventive and detection action assigned.
  • By analyzing the structure list, and with the necessary display options active, it is possible to see which action groups have a valuation of less than 10 and missing corresponding actions assigned.
