The XY matrix can be used to help identify an area of focus for the FMEA
or it can be used by a proect team to identify the initial factors for a designed experiment!
"hen the output #ariables $Y%s& are not to specification' the situation represents potential
(EFFE)T*(! "hen each input #ariable $X& is not to specification' ()A+*E*( are present!
,escribed belo- are the directions to use this spreadsheet!
1&
and .or customer deem important $use the outputs identified on the process map&!
/& Then numerically ran0 each Y from 1 to 11' the most important recei#ing the highest
2& Identify all of the potential causes $X%s& that can impact the #arious outputs and list these in the
3& 4ext determine the impact of each X on each Y! In the Association Table
numerically rate $using a scale from 1511' the most important recei#ing the highest
number& the effect each X has on each Y!

Enter' into the Output Variables (Y's) ro-' those characteristics that the team
number and so on! Place these numbers in the Output Ranking ro-!
Input Variables (X's) column $use the X%s identified on the process map&!
