Implementing a Recommended Strategy

When the recommended strategy is to perform an MTA2 or RCM2 analysis, you can link the analysis to a new or existing project to track the creation of the strategy development analysis. At the same time, you can create a request for the analysis, specifying its type, the asset to analyze, and so on.
When you are ready to create the strategy development analysis, process the request. Alternatively, you can cancel an analysis request or reopen a canceled or processed request.
This topic explains how:
•
To Create an Analysis Request
•
To Process an Analysis Request
•
To Cancel or Reopen an Analysis Request

To Create an Analysis Request

1.
Open the RSS analysis and select the Implementation view.
Tip: The Request Analysis button is also available on the Properties view, Analysis tab.
2.
Click Request Analysis. The Request Strategy Development Analysis dialog appears.
3.
Do one of the following:
•
To link to a new project, select Create a new project. Select a project type from the list.
•
To link to an existing project, select Link to an existing project. Click the browse icon () to select the project and click OK. The project’s number, title, and status are displayed.
4.
Select the type of analysis.
5.
Provide information about the requested analysis:
•
Asset to be analyzed
•
Employee assigned to be the project manager
•
Requested start and completion dates – These become the planned start and completion dates in the analysis
•
Estimate of the time required to perform the analysis
•
Comment
6.
Click OK. The project and request for an analysis appear in the Implementation tab. For example:
7.

Setting Name
Description
Analysis level
Select one of the following:
•
Analysis – You can link to a new or existing strategy development analysis.
•
Failure mode - You can link to a new or existing failure mode in a new or existing strategy development analysis.
If you link to a new analysis, you can create the function (RCM2), functional failure (RCM2), and failure mode.
If you link to an existing analysis, you can use a new or existing function (RCM2), functional failure (RCM2), and failure mode.
Analysis identification
Select one of the following:
•
New analysis – Select the analysis type and identify the asset. The selected asset’s child assets in the physical hierarchy are automatically added to the new analysis.
•
Analysis – Click the browse icon () to select the analysis.
Function identification
When you are linking to a failure mode in a new or existing RCM2, you can use a new or existing function.
Functional failure identification
When you are linking to a failure mode in a new or existing RCM2, you can use a new or existing functional failure.
Failure mode identification
When you are linking to a failure mode in a new or existing analysis, you can use a new or existing failure mode.
