| Malfunction Reporting and Defect Analysis System Steps | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Step | Who | Development | Process | |
| Step 1-Malfunction Identification | 0 | System Engineer | Identify Equipment Number, Model, Desk Person and Shop Involved | |
| 0 | Operator | |||
| 1 | System Engineer | Select from drop down list of Functions | ||
| 2 | System Engineer | Create list of Behaviors (or select behavior from current list) | ||
| 3 | System Engineer | Identify all systems that may produce the symptom described in behavior (or select from comprehensive list of systems.) | ||
| 4 | System Engineer | Using drawings and schematics, identify subsystems that are part of systems described above | ||
| 5 | System Engineer | Using drawings and schematics, identify the typically failing components that make up the systems described above | ||
| 6 | System Engineer | Identify subtle differences in behavior or symptoms that are needed to determine which system is involved with this malfunction. | ||
| 7 | System Engineer | Develop a set of questions that are associated with each discriminator that are helpful in pointing to one specific system or another. | ||
| 8 | System Engineer | Use the information contained in the discriminator and detailed questions to point to the appropriate system. | ||
| 8 | Help Desk | In using the system to respond to a specific failure, use the pointer described above to select the appropropriate system. |
