Defining Functions, Failures, Effects, Causes and Tasks
For each Maintenance Significant Item (MSI), you can easily define and modify the related functions, failures, effects, causes and tasks. These items are displayed in an intuitive function hierarchy that is easy to navigate. MPC includes built-in logic, based on the ATA MSG-3 guidelines, for determining the failure effect category and selecting the appropriate maintenance tasks.
- MPC 3's Categorization window guides you through the process for determining the
MSG-3 failure effect category and providing any necessary notations about the categorization:
- Evident Safety (5)
- Evident Operational (6)
- Evident Economic (7)
- Hidden Safety (8)
- Hidden Non-Safety (9)
- MPC 3's Task Selection window guides you through the process to determine which maintenance tasks are required and provides all the tools you need to fully define and manage the tasks that are identified.
