Analyzing Asset Condition

Once you have created the asset condition analysis and selected assets, you can begin analyzing the assets.

The basic steps are:

•	Open the analysis and the Worksheet view

•	Analyze each asset in the analysis by selecting consequences for each criterion

•	Calculate scores for each asset

This topic explains these steps.

To Analyze Assets

1.	From the Site window, select the Asset Health view, Condition Analyses tab, and double-click the analysis. The Asset Analysis window appears, open to the Properties view, General tab.

2.	Make sure that editing is enabled.

3.	Select the Worksheet view. For example:

Tip: You can click to hide the expanded Asset Information area. Click to show it again.

Tip: When returning to an analysis to complete it, you can select the “Analysis incomplete” configuration in the Worksheet view. The display moves to the first asset for which criteria have not been analyzed.

4.	In the Analysis area, select a criterion in the Criteria table to populate the list of scores and examples.

5.	Drag an example from the bottom table to the Criteria table above it. For example:

Tip: You can also select a row in the condition table and press F2. The row is open for editing. For example, select a consequence description:

Press Tab to select a score for the next criterion. When you are finished selecting values, press Enter to close the table to editing.

6.	For each of the remaining criteria, repeats steps 4 and 5.

7.	Add your comments to the text box.

8.	Click Calculate Scores. The Condition, Score, and Analysis status boxes are populated with values:

Description

Condition

APM determines the asset’s condition value by comparing the asset’s scores to a set of rules. If the asset’s scores match a rule, the asset is assigned that rule’s condition value.

Total consequences

The total of the scores for each of the consequences selected for the asset.

Analysis status

The analysis status can be one of: • Analysis not started – Scores have not been calculated for the analysis asset. • Partially analyzed – All consequences or the probability of failure (for prioritization analysis) have not been selected for the asset. • Analysis complete – All of the required information has been selected for the asset and scores have been calculated.

9.	To analyze the next asset in the analysis, click at the bottom of the tab.

Tip: You can also copy an analysis from one asset to another. In the Worksheet view, in the Asset identification area, click the View as Table icon (). The analysis’ assets are listed in a table. Right-click the asset and click Copy Analysis. The Copy Analysis dialog lists the other assets in the analysis. Select the target asset and click OK.

Once you have analyzed the assets, you can view the data in the Summary view. You can also apply the results to the assets and create projects.
