Risk priority number calculation

RPN = S × (O + D) since the inability of checking system increase the possibility of occurance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.167.58.241 (talk) 02:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me that the ability/inability to check for the occurance (probability of detection)of a failure mode is independent of the occurrence of the failure mode. Dbodimer (talk) 20:24, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of worksheet and ranking tables

The example worksheet and ranking tables are unique to ARP476, but many other guidance documents for FMEA use a 10-point scale, or another method entirely, and the layout of the worksheet is often somewhat different. See, for example, the AIAG Potential Failure Mode and Effects manual, the U.S. Army Training Manual 5-698-4 and MIL-STD-1629-A (canceled). Is there any objection to updating the example ranking tables to reflect both standards? Any suggestions on how best to present this without confusing the reader?
