Reliability Growth Records

A Reliability Growth record stores information about an analysis that tracks changes in Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) over a specified period of time to determine strategies or repairs necessary to increase the reliability of a product. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Reliability Growth family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field Caption	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Analysis End Date	Date	The date on which the Reliability Growth Analysis will end.	This field is only used for analyses based on dates. This value is populated with the value in the End Date section of the Set Analysis Period window. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Analysis End Time	Number	The cumulative operating time at which the analysis will end.	This field is only used for analyses based on cumulative operating time. This value is populated with the value in the End Time section of the Set Analysis Period window. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Analysis Name	Character	The name of the Growth Analysis.	This field is populated with the value that you entered in the Analysis Name box when you save the Growth Analysis. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Analysis Start Date	Date	The date on which the Reliability Growth Analysis will begin.	This field is only used for analyses based on dates. This value is populated automatically with the value in the Start Date section of the Set Analysis Period window. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Analysis Start Time	Time	The cumulative operating time at which the Reliability Growth Analysis will begin.	This field is only used for analyses based on cumulative operating time. This value is populated automatically with the value in the Start Time section of the Set Analysis Period window. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Asset Installation Field	Character	The name of the field in the query or dataset that contains Asset installation data.	This field is populated automatically with the value you select in the Installation Date list on the Select Data Fields screen in the Reliability Growth Builder when you create an analysis based on dates. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Date Based Extrapolation	Logical	Indicates if the user specified the extrapolation based on a date.	If you extrapolate the analysis results based on failure dates, this value is set automatically to True. If you choose to extrapolate based on time or there is no extrapolation at all, this value is set to False.
Description	Character	A brief description of the analysis.	This field is populated automatically with the value that you entered in the Analysis Description box when you save the Growth Analysis. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Downtime Units	Character	The units associated with downtime.	This field is populated automatically with the value you select in the Time Units list on the Provide Information for Downtime screen when you create an analysis based on dates. You can select one of the following options: Hours Days Weeks Months Quarters Years This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Extrapolated	Logical	Indicates if the analysis results will be extrapolated beyond the analysis end date.	If you choose to extrapolate the results, this value will be set to True.
Extrapolation Date	Date	Indicates the date and time you extrapolated the analysis.	If the Date Based Extrapolation field is set to True, this field is populated automatically with the date and time you extrapolated the analysis in the GE Digital APM Framework.
Extrapolation Time	Numeric	Indicates the total operating time that will be cumulated when the extrapolation point is reached.	If the Extrapolated field is set to True and the Date Based Extrapolation field is set to False, this field is populated with the cumulative operating time that corresponds with the extrapolation time you set in the Select Extrapolation window.
Failure Date Field	Character	The name of the field in the query or dataset that contains the dates on which the Asset failed.	This field is populated with the value you select in the Date list on the Select Data Fields screen when you create an analysis based on dates. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Failure Number Field	Character	The name of the field in the query or dataset that contains the number of failures recorded at each measurement.	This field is populated with the value you select in the <Measurement> list on the Select Data Fields screen when you create an analysis. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Failure Rate Plot	Binary	Contains an image of the <Measurement> Rate Trend plot.	This field is used to display the <Measurement> Rate Trend graph in the Plots section in the Reliability Growth report. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Failures	Text	Contains the data that is displayed in the Reliability Growth Data window.	This field is used to populate the Assets and <Measurement> Data sections in the Reliability Growth report. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Failures Plot	Binary	Contains an image of the Cumulative <Measurement> plot.	This field is used to display the Cumulative <Measurement> plot in the Plots section in the Reliability Growth report. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Failure Time Field	Character	The name of the field in the query or dataset that contains the cumulative operating time at which the piece of equipment or location failed.	This field is populated with the value you select in the Cumulative Operating Time list on the Select Data Fields screen when you create an analysis based on cumulative operating time. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Is Grouped Data	Logical	Indicates whether or not the data is grouped.	If this value is True, the data is grouped data and contains more than one failure at each measurement. If this value is False, the data is not grouped and contains only one failure at each measurement. This value depends on the type of data that is mapped to the Failure Number field. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Is Non-Event Data	Logical	Indicates whether or not the data is event count.	If this value is True, the data is not event count (e.g., cost). If this value is False, the data is event count (e.g., number of failures). This field is populated depending on the value you select in the Measurement Data Format section of the Select Data Format screen when you create the analysis. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
Measurement Name	Character	The name of the data you are measuring throughout the analysis (e.g., cost, events).	This field is populated automatically with the value you enter in the Measurement Name box on the Select Data Format screen when you create an analysis. After you create an analysis, you can change the value in the Measurement Name field via the Select Growth Data Format window. The measurement name is displayed throughout the analysis results. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
MTBF Plot	Binary	Contains an image of the MTB<Measurement> Trend plot.	This field is used to display the MTB<Measurement>Trend plot in the Plots section in the Reliability Growth report. This field does not exist by default on the Reliability Growth datasheet.
