Criticality of Components

This chart type plots the distribution of criticality values for selected

components.

The user can choose the propagation type (FCM or Simulation), assign the chart type

(bar or pie) and choose from the following criticality analysis methods: RPN, Fuzzy

Criticality and Hazard Risk Index (HRI). The chart analysis requires selecting

component(s) to define the origin of a failure mode and the associated component where

end-effect response occurs.

Figure 1: Criticality of Components bar graph shows the criticality analysis

values (vertical axis, left side), a cumulative criticality in percentage values

(cumulative line and vertical axis, right side) and a list of components considered in

the chart analysis.
