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 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 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 Asset number The number used to identify the asset. When you create an asset, APM automatically enters a unique asset number, but you can change it if necessary. Each asset must have a unique number not more than 50 characters long. If this box is left blank or if the number is not unique, an error message appears. See Also Title The name or short description of this item. You can enter up to 250 characters. 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. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to the function description in AWB. See Also Functional Failure A functional failure is a state in which a physical asset or system is unable to perform a specific function to a desired level of performance. For example, a functional failure could occur if a truck cannot be started or cannot reach the minimum speed required of it.. 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 Failure effect A failure effect is the consequence of a failure mode. For example, when a pump’s impeller becomes worn (failure mode), the flow through the pump declines until it no longer delivers liquid at the required rate. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to project effect description. See Also
