Converting a CPR to an MTA2 or RBI

Current practice review is a preliminary review practice used to identify opportunities to create APM indicators and checksheets based on existing paper-based inspections and rounds, preventive and overhaul maintenance instructions, and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) routes. The focus of CPR is primarily on condition-based, failure-finding inspections and scheduled restoration tasks.

In contrast, maintenance task analysis is an advanced analysis practice used to rapidly identify reliability action plans based on existing operation and maintenance knowledge. It deals with failures that are reasonably likely to occur in the asset’s operating context.

Risk-based inspection is a risk assessment and management process that is focused on loss of containment of pressurized equipment in processing facilities due to material deterioration. These risks are managed primarily through equipment inspection. RBI analysis focuses on prioritizing and planning inspections.

After a CPR is implemented, it can become obvious that asset health conditions dictate the need for more in-depth analysis. In these situations, the CPR can be converted to an MTA2 or RBI analysis, where further analysis can be done. Once the CPR conversion is completed, it cannot be undone.

A CPR cannot be converted to an RCM2 analysis.

When you convert a CPR, the resulting analysis has the following characteristics:

•	The CPR number, assets, action plans, indicators, tasks, and jobs are copied from the CPR to the MTA2 or RBI.

•	The failure mode titles default to “to be described”.

•	The status of each converted action plan is set to Facilitation Incomplete, regardless of its status in the CPR.

•	The History view, Status tab includes the status history of the CPR, including when it was converted to an MTA2 or RBI.

To Convert a CPR to MTA2 or RBI Analysis

1.	From the site’s Strategy Development view and tab, select the CPR tab.

2.	Open the review that you wish to convert.

3.	On the Analysis menu, click Convert to and then MTA2 or RBI. A dialog appears warning that once the conversion is complete it cannot be undone.

4.	Click Yes to continue. A progress dialog appears. When the conversion is completed, the Strategy development analysis window displays information about the MTA2 or RBI.

5.	In the MTA2 or RBI, you can develop failure modes and revise action plans as necessary.
