Corrective / Preventive Action Module                                                                    

FavoWeb system supports a full scale corrective/preventive action.
Each individual event/incident/Non conformance or failure within the database can be associated ("connected") to a certain issue.
Issues are defined a systematic problem of repeated events or event with substantial impact, which requires an investigation and implementation of corrective action.
FavoWeb System supports 8D methodology in its investigation protocol into issue's root cause.
By utilizing FavoWeb's Corrective Action module, the user can invite participations to the FRB/MRB meeting, list issues for discussion, assign action items and follow up on Corrective/Preventive Action implementation and effectiveness.

Dashboard Module                                                                                                     

The Dashboard is a graphic analytical presentation of reports, metrics, status levels etc.
This interactive tool allows the authorized users to view concise real-time information such as trend analysis, failure distribution / pareto, MTBF level and correlations.
FavoWeb Dashboard helps decision makers to analyze trends, safety, availability, system status and grasp more than one dimension in one look.
The tool's "drill down" capabilities allow the user to look/investigate metrics and data outputs.
The module is customizable and therefore can be tailored according to customer's specifications.
FavoWeb is well integrated with existing OLAP based tools (both SQL Server and Oracle based).
FavoWeb Dashboard Features:
•  Flexible management reports view
•  Alerting mechanism

Alerts / Notifications Module                                                                               

The need to inform, alert or notify relevant individuals is a key element in any failure/incident treatment.
Alert Module enables automated sending of messages to relevant professionals according to pre-defined "trigger points".
Example of such "trigger points" includes (but not limited to):
a. A certain action has been completed or passed on to another person – a relevant notification will reach the appropriate person.
b. The due date of a certain action has passed – the relevant individual will receive an alert message.
c. The condition of a certain tool has reached an "abnormal" level (3 occurrence over a short period of time, or a high/low MTBF level etc.) – an alert will be sent (along with an attachment of the report) to the relevant individuals.
d. An incident has occurred during off-hour in the plant - a message will be sent to alert relevant people.
FavoWeb Alerts allows creating an unlimited number of user-defined criteria for alerts and notification issuing.
FavoWeb Alerts Module plays a crucial part in the overall safety and efficiency of any process.

System / SN Traceability Module                                                                                 

This module allows to define a list of installed systems (units) and maintain a two level configuration management – system level and sub-system level.
All installed systems and sub- systems can be recorded with their respective serial numbers and LRU assemblies.
The module allows for systems usage data (clocks / meters) to be defined and their readings to be collected for future analysis over a certain timeline or usage metric (engine hours, Km, transition hrs., operation hours etc.). This information is crucial for accurate reliability calculations such as MTBF, Reliability Growth etc.
The module also serves for tracing an installation history of each serial number/system.
System and sub system information can be entered manually through FavoWeb GUI or imported form external database.

Warranty Module                                                                                                      

The warranty claim database aims to preserve history of the warranty returns and to carry out some requests in order to realize statistical analysis which will be part of Quality studies or will be taken into account during new parts design.
Most analysis is based on Weibull distributions.
The database is a key tool in the deployment of a warranty plan/policy, which examines extended warranty scenarios.
Main Functions
•  Preserve an history of the warranty returns
•  Make analysis to predict failure trends (Weibull curves) with associated costs
•  Compare analysis made on different products, in different countries
•  Have reliable quality data to be used as references for the development of new technologies
•  Improve and simplify the management of warranty data towards customers or suppliers
•  Trace action plan to solve the warranty problems
•  Improve the reporting streamlining and cross information analysis
•  Support the deployment of the ”Reliability” culture in the organization

FavoWeb™ is a third generation FRACAS tool which synthesizes 20 years of knowledge into the most up-to-date information technology available today. FavoWeb™ is a Failure Reporting and Corrective Actions System. Usually used by the quality assurance experts in the organization to manage reliability growth throughout the entire product life cycle.

The application allows users to report failures to the system, manage action items to repair associated failures, conduct failure review boards (FRB) for deciding on corrective actions to be taken against diagnosed epidemics, perform powerful data analysis, generate flexible and fully customizable reports.
FavoWeb™ is a flexible and highly adaptable application, allowing customization of input screens, functional modules, user reports and organizational workflow.


Collect Failures                                                                                                    

FavoWeb™ allows construction of user defined forms for collecting failure data.

These forms include the latest methods and controls, such as combo-boxes, links, file attachments, logical trees and more, that can eventually reduce the human factor error in feeding data to a minimum.

In addition, FavoWeb™ can network to external systems in the organization for required input data such as PDM, ERP, human resources and more (compliance with most common databases such as Oracle, AS400, DB2 etc.) 

 FRBs and Corrective Actions                                                                          

FavoWeb™ supports failure review board (FRB) and corrective action diary management, including distribution to board members and action items (AI). These managerial tools are used to diagnose epidemics and conduct preventive maintenance to eliminate problems in the future.

 User Roles                                                                                                           

FavoWeb™ differentiates the users and divides them into several customizable groups.

Each group can be given different permissions and roles.
For example:
INITIATOR user role authorized only to initiate failures and input the failures symptoms.
ANALYST user role authorized only to add analysis documentation.
REVIEWER user role authorized approve or reject the analysis or corrective actions taken.
ADMINISTRATOR user role authorized to make administrative modifications and customization to the application.

 Email Notification                                                                                                

Each action or state in FavoWeb™, can be defined to trigger an Email notification message, that can be sent to any user or group of users.

The Email message is fully customizable by the system administrator.

This feature allows managers to be notified of problems that have yet to be resolved and escalate problem to the attention of repair-experts.

Workflow Control                                                                                                 

The FavoWeb™ 's concept includes reporting failure information on a product from different stages of its life cycle.

Also each failure can be cut down to several input forms theoretically reported by different people.

A first level failure report can be followed by a second level report etc.

All these tasks and responsibilities are independent and need to be inside a closed-loop mechanism controlling work inside the organization.

This mechanism is called Workflow.
From the user point of view, the workflow mechanism is opened by choice as a tasks window.

This window includes all lines of information needed for the user group's work.

Every task has a status - open in the beginning, then in-work after opening the task, then closed at the end.

The change of the status is controlled by the user, where closing a task must include a user and password.

Opening a task (clicking on the line), automatically opens the relevant window (failure window for instance) and changes the status of the task to in-work. A log file records all task activities for later research and inquiries.

Report Generation                                                                                               

FavoWeb™ has a powerful tool that allows the user to construct various reports, save them to a template (if needed), view them in the browser or export them to an Excel worksheet for further analysis.

The report generator has built in reports such as failure distribution and failure list, and special reports like MTBF, MTTR and Weibull distribution can be easily applied upon request.

Import/Export Data                                                                                              

FavoWeb™s flexibility allows users to import external data to the application using a simple Excel spreadsheet file.

These data can be used in the application to define a product, a clock or a batch insertion of failure data.

In addition, all the data collected in the system database can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet.


One of the most important characteristics FavoWeb™ has is its Definition Flexibility. No matter what industry the organization belongs to, the application can be customized to fit the requirements. This is done with the help of an administration utility. This utility helps the company's administrator to define each functional module (Failure reporting for instance), to include different input forms, user-defined fields for each input form, design and style output reports and even select interface language.


The FavoWeb™ system is a logistic application allowing collection of failure information and other types of data like corrective action and testing from processes related to different activities of a product in an organization. The application supports activities in different Life Cycle Phases like production, development and maintenance.
FavoWeb™ has a highly level of adaptability and flexibility. The application's input screens, functional modules and user reports can be customized and tailored to the organization's definitions. The adaptation process takes place during the installation time in cooperation with the System Administrator and the organization professionals. The application is operating on the organizational intranet platform and can be ran through any workstation connected to the network and having a Microsoft Explorer 5 and up installed. The application is Oracle database based.
All processes are monitored and controlled through an online workflow mechanism giving each working level control over its tasks and responsibilities.

 


FavoWeb™ 's reliable information is based on the end-user motivation to report every deficiency and system failure. This is done through a user-friendly interface and by tailoring input forms to the specific user needs. Another concept is to make reporting job easy. Connection to PDA's (WindowsCE etc.), using barcodes and other hand terminals is the way we make-work easy.
Also we've issued a US patent on failure reporting through voice recognition, and we'll supply this version in the next year.
