evaluating FEA effectiveness
evaluating FEA effectiveness
(OP)
I am looking for metrics to help determine improvements in our FEA process. I was using "time spent per project" as a metric, but as scope and detail has increased, this metric is not that meaningful. I do 25-35 projects a year, so PPMs are probably not the most appropriate either. Does anyone on this forum have a recommended way to track their efficiency and/or performance gains in FEA? Thanks

i'm willing to bet that at least 90% of your models have unique features that require learning (and re-learning) with each project.
the most meaningful metric is "did the model make the correct predictions ?" give yourself 0% for an inservice failure that should have been predicted, and 100% in the absence of inservice failures (the benefit of the doubt ?).
the most meaningful metric from a project sense is "did you meet your schedule ?"
just my 2c ...
