P-Diagram

When and Why?

Information developed with a P-Diagram can be used as input for other methods.

  1. 1
    Use control and noise factors listed to plan experiments and simulations returning robust parameter settings. A Component Design Matrix can be used to support this process.
  2. 2
    Use noise factors and design verification methods to identify potential gaps in the design verification plan (DVP). The Robustness Checklist can be used to support this process.
  3. 3
    Align Noise factors and faults (error states) with FMEA:
  • Verify all faults (error states) identified on the P-diagram, together with the noise factors potentially causing them, are included in FMEA.
  • Verify all designed verification methods linked to noise factors and faults are included in FMEA as detection controls.
