5 Mission Profile Definition Reports

The MADE Report Wizard contains two types of reports that utilize information entered in the MPD editor:

Table 11: Mission Profile reports overview

Report	Description
Mission Profile Report	A report which presents the general outcomes of a selected mission profile including mission details, operating scenarios, mission success metrics, and duty cycles. The user can select from a list of mission profiles or groups on the second page of the report wizard.
Mission Effective Functions List (MEFL)	A report which details the critical components required for a capability in a mission profile. The MEFL report includes mission success metrics, a time profile, key mission parameters and a mission analysis that details the functional importance and required items for each capability. The user can select from a list of mission profiles on the second page of the report wizard.

Figure 27 shows the Report Wizard's report list (PDF): Maintenance Actions Report, Maintenance Actions Report (Abridged), Maintenance Cost Estimates Report; Mission Profile Definition (expanded: Mission Effective Functions List, Mission Profile Report, Operating Environment Report, Operating Environment Comparison Report); Prognostics and Health Management (Test Point Report, Sensor Set Details Report); Reliability & Availability (Reliability Block Diagram Report, Reliability Allocation Report); Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM Analysis Report, Back-Fit RCM Report); Safety (Common Mode Analysis Report, Hazard Analysis Report, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Report, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Cut Set Report, Functional Hazard Assessment (SAE ARP4761 REV: A)). Description panel: "Mission Profile Definition or MPD reports are focused on Mission Profile Definition. MPD reports detail information such as system capabilities, functional importance and loading factors."

Worked example content (from the "MADE Training" sample MEFL report, generated 26 Mar 2026)

Mission Success Metrics (Figure 37): Name = "Transport Personnel", Success Criteria = "5 people and luggage", Minimum Success Criteria = "2 people and luggage", System Flow Property = "Convert Mechanical - rotational Angular velocity (Vehicle System)" (×2 rows).

Time Profile (Figure 37): rows for ID 1.1 (Start-up/Ignition, 5s, "A mission phase for actions required to start-up the vehicle for use."), 2 (Acceleration, 1m), 3 (Cruise, 15m), 4 (Turning, 1m), 5.1.1 (Cruise 2/Highway A1, 30m), 5.1.2 (Highway B2, 15m), 5.2 (Mountain Terrain, 15m), 6 (Deceleration, 1m), 7 (Shut-down, 5s).

Mission Parameters (Figure 37): Name = "Distance", Units = "Kilometers", values at each phase: Initial 0.0, Start-up/Ignition 0.0, Acceleration 0.5, Cruise 10.5, Turning 11.0, Cruise 2/Highway A1 90.0, Highway B2 100.0, Mountain Terrain 111.0, Deceleration 111.0, Shut-down 112.0.

Mission Analysis (Figure 38, "MISSION SUCCESS METRIC: TRANSPORT PERSONNEL"): for Time Profile row ID 1.1 (Start-up/Ignition), Function and Flow = "Convert Mechanical - rotational Angular velocity (Vehicle System)" (two entries), Importance of Function and Flow to Phase = Low, Acceptable Limits Upper = 0.0 rad/s, Lower = 0.0 rad/s, and a full list of Critical Components: Governor, Coupling 1, Engine, Air Filter, Primary Fuel Filter, Injector Pump, Lift Pump, Secondary Fuel Filter, Inlet, Lining, Control Unit, Vehicle, Coupling — listed identically for both Function and Flow entries.

This MEFL "Mission Analysis" table is the report's core deliverable: for every phase/segment and every mission-critical function & flow property, it enumerates which physical components in the system model are "critical" (i.e. required to deliver that function within its acceptable limits during that phase) — directly supporting sensor-placement, redundancy, and criticality decisions tied to a specific mission profile.
