Asset
Number assigned to the asset.

Component or Location
Failures that occur on an installed component or the location where the component is installed can be recorded against either of the two assets. The failure is automatically assigned to the corresponding component or location.

Failure mode
Asset’s failure mode for the condition that the failure record documents.

Asset
Asset number assigned by APM to the asset.

Occurred on
Date and time at which the failure occurred.

Status
A failure can have one of the following statuses:
•
Open: APM continues to track failure statistics and the PF interval (if appropriate) for the failure.
•
Resolved: Statistics and the PF interval (if appropriate) are no longer calculated.
•
Canceled: Statistics and the PF interval (if appropriate) are no longer calculated.
See Also

Failure number
APM assigns each failure record a unique failure number. The failure number can be used to locate the failure or to launch it from the find bar.
See Also

Severity
The severity indicates the seriousness of the failure. For example:
•
Total: the asset’s performance has decreased to a point where the asset is no longer performing at its required level. The asset has completely failed.
•
Partial: the asset’s performance has decreased to a point where it is no longer performing one of its functions at the specified levels. The asset is still functioning.
•
Potential: a condition that has been noticed that would result in an actual failure if the problem is not resolved. The actual failure has not yet occurred. Potential failures are normally reported as the result of an indicator reading that has raised a warning alarm against the asset.
See Also

Preventable
Indicates that the asset’s reliability program needs review.
See Also

Failure type
The failure type, along with the failure classification, is used to group failure modes and records to make it easier to identify, locate, and sort them.

Organization
Organizational asset assigned to take responsibility for tracking the failure.
See Also

Employee
Employee assigned to take responsibility for tracking the failure.

Failure number
APM assigns each failure record a unique failure number. The failure number can be used to locate the failure or to launch it from the find bar.

Description
Description of the failure.
See Also

Failure code
Your organization decides on the number and names for failure codes.
See Also

Damage code
Damage codes provide predefined categories to describe asset damage. For example, ARLK for Air Leak.
Damage code can be optional when you are adding an event to a request for work. However, if a damage code and activity code are not selected, the event will not have a work priority.

See Also

Problem
Problem assigned to the asset for the condition that the failure record documents.
See Also

Cause
Cause of the asset’s problem, which the failure record documents.
See Also

Remedy
Remedy for the asset’s problem, which the failure record documents.
See Also

PF interval type
The PF interval indicates the remaining time until a potential or partial failure escalates to a full failure. PF interval can be tracked in terms of time or a cumulated indicator value such as cycles or operating hours. The Indicator based option is available only if the asset has been assigned a cumulative indicator.
See Also

Original PF interval
PF interval entered when the failure record was created. APM automatically displays the original value when the failure record is saved.
See Also

Remaining PF interval
The PF interval is used to indicate the remaining time until a potential or partial failure escalates to a full failure. PF interval can be tracked in terms of time or a cumulated indicator value, such as cycles or operating hours.
See Also

Locked
If the PF interval is locked, APM does not recalculate the time remaining until a full failure can be expected. The PF interval remains at its current level until it is changed manually.
See Also

Avoidance savings
Estimated savings that would be accrued by avoiding the failure or preventing a partial or potential failure from becoming a full failure.
See Also

Repair costs
Estimated costs to the company to repair equipment as a result of the failure.
See Also

Reported on
Date and time when the failure was reported.
See Also

Reported by
Employee who reported the failure.
See Also

Resolved on
Date and time when the failure was resolved.
