Analyses as Resources

Analyses in XFMEA and RCM++ are now reusable object references. More specifically the following analyses can be cast as objects:

• FMEAs
• Risk Discovery
• ...

To illustrate the concept/application, consider the two systems, Widget and Fidget, along with their corresponding system hierarchies, as shown below (using metasyntactic variables for names).

Widget Waldo Wibble [Wibble FMEA] Lidget [Lidget FMEA] Foobar Foo [Foo FMEA] Bar [Bar FMEA]

Fidget Garply Flob [Flob FMEA] Baz [Baz FMEA] Fubar Fu [Fu FMEA] Bar [Bar FMEA]

The Widget is made up by the Waldo and Foobar subsystems and their associated lower level items as shown. Furthermore, assume that an FMEA analysis was done at the lower level items. The Fidget system is made up of the Garply and Fubar subsystems. Note that in this case both FooBar and Fubar subsystems share a common lower level item, Bar.
