Define Criticality Matrix Standard

Explanation

This activity is used to define a new Criticality Matrix Standard for use in performing an RCM Analysis. The registration of the Criticality Matrix and where the Master resides is dependent on which application is used to run your company’s RCM Analysis. Either:

• IFS RCM Toolkit - The RCM Toolkit will define and be the Master of the Criticality Matrix, which in turn will be transferred/updated back in IFS through the IFS RCM Integration module. (IFS Application process used “Receive RCM Analysis”). Only the Criticality Matrix Standard identifier will be registered in IFS Applications and be identical to the Code used in the IFS RCM Toolkit.
• Third Party RCM Analysis Tool - In this scenario we will capture the Criticality Matrix Standard manually in IFS Applications. Complete from Criticality Standard Identifier, Risk Category, Failure Severity and Failure Probability.

Prerequisites

N/A

System Effects

• The Equipment Criticality resulting from the RCM FMECA will be captured and visible per equipment object for each Risk Category.
• The Equipment Criticality value is a multiple of the Failure Severity and Failure Probability

Procedure

1. Open the Maintenance Basic Data window and select the Criticality Matrix Standards tab.
2. Ensure that the cursor references the CM Standard field, and then create a new record (F5).
3. Enter the required values in the CM Standard and the Description fields.
4. Save the information (F12).
5. If you are not using the IFS RCM Toolkit Integration module then proceed to the next steps in creating the Risk Category, Severity and Probability.
6. Ensure focus is on the CM Risk Category section, and then create a new record (F5).
7. Enter the required values in the CM Risk Category and the Description fields.
8. Save the information (F12).
9. For each CM Risk Category follow the below steps.
10. Ensure focus is on the CM Severity section, and then create a new record (F5).
11. Enter the required values in the CM Severity, Description, Severity Rating and Severity Order fields.
12. Save the information once all required Failure Severities have been entered (F12).
13. Ensure focus is on the CM Probability section, and then create a new record (F5).
14. Enter the required values in the CM Probability, Description, Probability Rating and Probability Order fields.
15. Save the information once all required Failure Probabilities have been entered (F12).
