Criticality Analysis

Due to their large number of assets, most companies need to allocate effort and resources to those areas that can benefit the most.  The Criticality Analysis plays an important role in helping to establish an implementation plan and focus required resources where the benefit will be most felt.

Reliability-centred Maintenance 3

RCM3 will become the new standard and foundation for analysing all physical assets. With the publication of ISO 31000 in 2009, ISO 55000 in early 2014, companies who want to stay competitive must take a new approach toward asset and risk management that will:

  • Optimise available resources
  • Increase the bottom line
  • Maintain safety and environmental integrity

FMEA and FMECA

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) along with Failure Mode Effects and Criticality (FMECA) was one of the first highly structured, systematic techniques for failure analysis. It was developed by reliability engineers in the late 1950s to study problems that might arise from malfunctions of military systems.  FMEA is referred to as an FMECA when a criticality analysis is performed as part of the analysis.

Spare Parts Optimisation

Spare parts are held to support planned maintenance tasks and to avoid or mitigate the risks associated with a stockouts event.  For critical equipment, stockouts can result in lengthy downtimes and production losses while spare parts are being sourced.

AXYS Consulting in association with MRO@nalytics can offer the use of their MRO@nalytics analysis solution to review spare parts stocking levels.

Functional Safety

Functional Safety is the part of the overall safety of a system or piece of equipment that depends on a system or equipment operating correctly in response to its inputs.

Functional Safety is the detection of a potentially dangerous condition resulting in the activation of a protective or corrective device or mechanism to prevent hazardous events arising or providing mitigation to reduce the fight consequence of the hazardous event.

AXYS Consulting can provide assistance with the management of Functional Safety in both the process industry and in the machinery sector as we are certified as Functional Safety  Engineers in both Safety Instrumented Systems (TÜV Rheinland, SIS) and Machinery (TÜV Rheinland, Machinery )

Bowtie

Bowtie achieves a good understanding and appreciation of safety risk control by not only identifying the controls (or barriers) in place but also looking at control failure mechanisms and in turn how these are managed. Based on these considerations, insights are gained into the organisation’s risk mitigation strategies and therefore into the appropriate management of safety resources.

HAZOP

The HAZOP technique is qualitative, and aims to stimulate the imagination of participants to identify potential hazards and operability problems; structure and completeness are given by using guideword prompts.
