Creating an Analysis in SAS Field Quality Analytics
SAS Field Quality Analytics has 14 different out of the box analyses that are designed to help aid in reducing warranty costs. Additionally, with the most current version of SAS Field Quality Analytics a custom analysis can be created. The purpose of this post is to provide a high-level overview on how to create analyses in SAS Field Quality Analytics.
To create a new analysis, open the desired project. There are a few ways to create a new analysis. If there is not an existing analysis in the project, then select New analysis:
Select any image to see a larger version.
Mobile users: To view the images, select the "Full" version at the bottom of the page.
If the project already has analyses created in it then you can select the new button in the top right corner:
After you select the New analysis button or the New button, the New Analysis window appears. Here you select the Data selection that will be used for the analysis and move the desired analysis types over. You can create multiple analyses at one time, and you can include the same analysis type more than once. The following example uses the Abyss Fuel System Labor data selection, and is creating a Pareto analysis:
Quick Tip: In the projects if there is already a set of analysis that use the data selection you want to use you can select that data selection in the project and then select New. This will automatically associate the desired data selection to a new analysis.
While every analysis type has different settings there are key similarities with all of the analysis types. The settings with a red star next to them indicate that the setting is required. There are two tabs Basic and Advanced. The Basic tab includes information such as the name of the analysis, which variables should be included and basic display Settings:
The Advanced tab includes information about more complex settings that pertain to the analysis type. This can include things such specific analysis settings, and control which units and claims will be included in the analysis by changing settings such as Maximum exposure or Maturity level:
After you have specified your desired settings for your analysis you have different options. You can select Save, which saves the analysis definition settings. You can select Submit, which saves the analysis definition settings and submits a job to produce the results. Or you could select Close, which closes the analysis definition without saving:
Once the analysis has been submitted and finished running the results can be displayed on the output tab:
Future posts will dive into more detail about how to interact with analysis results as well as dive more into specific settings for different analysis types. Additionally, this information can be found in the SAS® Field Quality Analytics on SAS® Viya® course which is part of the SAS Internet of Things Learning Subscription.
