Adding RCM failure mitigation for equipment

Add mitigation actions for failure modes defined on the RCM tab of the equipment screens. Failure modes can be mitigated by a PM schedule, by condition monitoring, by modifications, or by all these methods.

  1. Select one of these options:
    • Equipment > Assets
    • Equipment > Positions
    • Equipment > Systems
    • Equipment > Locations
  2. Select the equipment for which to define mitigation actions, and then click the RCM Failure Mitigation tab.
  3. Specify this information:
    Organization
    Specify the organization associated with the mitigation.
    Failure Mode
    Specify the failure mode for the mitigation.
    Mitigation Type
    Specify the type of mitigation.
    Mitigated Probability
    Specify the probability of the risk after being mitigated. The system will recalculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN) and populate the new Risk Level.
    Mitigation Applied
    Select this check box to indicate that the mitigation is applied and included in the Risk Priority Number calculation of the equipment. The system will update the matching failure mode on the RCM tab for equipment, and may also update the Risk Priority Number (RPN) and the Risk Level on the equipment.
    Note
    Optionally, specify a note for this mitigation.
    PM Schedule
    Optionally, specify the PM Schedule to associate with the mitigation.
    Perform Every
    Specify the frequency for the selected PM Schedule.

    You can also add a Maintenance Pattern or a PM Plan as part of the mitigation. You can also add a project or a case, for example if a modification is required, and an Aspect if condition based monitoring (inspections) may be required. These fields are optional and hidden on this tab.

  4. Click Submit.
  5. Click Activate Mtigation to activate the mitigation for the equipment.
    If clicked, the system will:
    • Add the equipment to the selected PM schedule if not already there and synchronizes the PM interval data.
    • Add the equipment to the selected Maintenance Pattern and activate it for the first sequence.
    • Add the equipment to the selected PM Plan.
