Asset Asset that the failure mode analyzes. When failure mode optimization requires Isograph Availability Workbench, this attribute is mapped to location ID, function ID, and 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 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
