Methodology
The Parameter Diagram (P-Diagram) is a block diagram which shows the connections between
different parameters of a system
It is the ideal starting point of the FMEA:
System elements and their functions are described and
visualized
The P-Diagram includes the following components and relations:
Noise Parameters
(not influenceable, fix)
Intended Output
Input Parameter System Function
Unintended Output
Control Parameter
(influenceable, variable)
