Create a Failure Event

When you create an RCA Event, you are also defining the associated Failure Event node. After you create a Failure Event node, you cannot delete it via Root Cause Analysis, but you can modify the RCA Event. Only one RCA Event can be defined for each RCA.

This topic describes how to define a failure event.

Note: A Failure Event can only be defined from the Logic Tree if no Failure Event currently exists.

Steps

Access the RCA for which you want to create a Failure Event.
In the left pane, select the Logic Tree tab.

A blank datasheet appears.
As needed, enter values in the available fields.
Select .

The RCA Failure Event is created and linked automatically to the selected RCA. The Failure Event node appears in the design canvas in Logic Tree workspace.
