Working with Asset Scope on a SIF Analysis

In some cases, assets are large enough to warrant separate analyses for different sections. For example, when the top portion of a large vessel contains gas and the bottom holds liquid, separate analyses or action plans are needed to define and respond to different failure modes and effects. In this case, you can select the analysis option Allow the scope of the analysis to be defined by asset.

For an analysis asset, you can provide a description of the analysis scope. The same asset can be added to the analysis as many times as required, each with a difference scope description. You can then create failure modes for each of the analysis assets from the Facilitation view, By Asset and By Hierarchy tabs.

The scope description appears in tables that display the analysis assets and in reports.

This topic explains how:

•	To Enable Asset Scope on an Analysis

•	To Add a Scope Description to an Analysis Asset

•	To Add an Analysis Asset

•	To Create a Failure Mode for a Scoped Asset

To Enable Asset Scope on an Analysis

1.	Open the analysis.

2.	Make sure that editing is enabled.

3.	Select the Properties view, Analysis Options tab.

4.	Click Allow the scope of the analysis to be defined by asset.

To Add a Scope Description to an Analysis Asset

1.	In the Strategy Development Analysis window, select the Properties view, Assets tab.

2.	On the second Assets tab, select the asset, click the Selected list, and then Scope of Analysis. For example:

Tip: You can also right-click an asset on the Assets or Hierarchy tab and click Scope of Analysis.

The Scope of Analysis dialog appears:

3.	Describe the section of the asset to be analyzed.

4.	Click OK. The dialog closes and the description appears in the Analysis Scope column of the Assets table.

To Add an Analysis Asset

1.	In the Strategy Development Analysis window, select the Properties view, Assets tab.

2.	On the second Assets tab, click the New list and then Analysis Asset. The New Analysis Asset dialog appears.

3.	Click a browse icon to open the Asset Selector dialog. Select the asset and click OK. The dialog closes and the asset information is added to the New Analysis Asset dialog.

4.	Describe the section of the asset to be analyzed.

5.	Click OK. The asset is added to the table. For example:

To Create a Failure Mode for a Scoped Asset

1.	In the Strategy Development Analysis window, select the Facilitation view, By Asset or By Hierarchy tab.

2.	In the left table, select the asset you wish to analyze. For example:

3.	Click New at the bottom of the Failure modes table. The Maintenance Action Plan window appears.

4.	Develop the failure mode. For detailed information, see Creating SIF Failure Modes.
