Among these are what type of alert complaint should be created, what components should be investigated, and what parts of the configuration and complaint types should be investigated. Your company procedures determine how often these investigations should be performed.

  2. Analyze Complaints

    Analyze why a complaint alarm was created in order to find out why a certain part fails too often. Analyze the alarms in 'Complaint Alarm. Open' (MOS505).
