RCM Reference The reference number assigned by APM to the function. Functions are numbered sequentially in the order in which they are created. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to function ID, functional failure ID, and cause ID in AWB. See Also Function A function is whatever the asset is required to do. For example, the function of a truck might be to transport up to one tonne of freight at a maximum highway speed not less than 90 km/h. Each asset can have several functions but just one primary function. See Also RCM Reference The reference letter that APM assigned to the functional failure. Functional failures are identified sequentially in the order in which they are created. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to functional failure ID and cause ID in AWB. See Also Functional failure Description of the functional failure. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to functional failure description in AWB. See Also Reference In an MTA2, RBI, or CPR analysis, the failure mode’s reference combines the asset’s and failure mode’s sequence numbers. In an RCM2 analysis, the failure mode’s reference combines the number assigned to the function, the letter assigned to the functional failure, and the number assigned to the failure mode. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to cause ID in AWB. See Also Failure Mode A failure mode is an event that causes an asset to fail to perform its function. For example, if a pump’s impeller becomes worn, the pump cannot convey liquid at the required rate. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to the cause description in AWB. See Also
