Once you have selected the degradation rate, you can update the information on selected indicators by clicking Apply. When an action plan is marked “Facilitation Complete”, its indicators are updated with the next inspection date and inspection effectiveness.
In the Selected rate list at the bottom of the
Degradation Rates tab, select one of the asset’s degradation rates. The selected rate and its next inspection date are displayed as read-only in the
Degradation rates (annual rates) area. (They are also displayed on the
Confidence tab.) The indicator’s number of inspections and inspection effectiveness value are displayed.
Tip: You can click Browse, select indicators, and add their degradation rates to the failure mode. Click
New to create a failure mode degradation rate. Note that, if the failure mode’s inspection factor is greater than or equal to 0, the inspection factor is copied to the new degradation rate. For more information about creating degradation rates, see
Creating a Degradation Indicator.
When you have selected a rate, you can click Apply to add the rate to the indicators that have been added to the action plan. The Apply Degradation Rate dialog appears, where you can select indicators that support degradation and click
OK.
If the failure mode includes a confidence evaluation, when the inspection factor is set, APM calculates the estimated next inspection date for degradation indicators listed in the action plan. The calculation uses the failure mode’s inspection factor instead of the indicator’s. In the Implementation view,
Primary Action Plan tab, the
Next Inspections tab lists the failure mode’s degradation indicators and shows their next inspection details, including estimated next inspection, indicator inspection factor, indicator next inspection data based on degradation, and the next collection date source.
