Creating Secondary SIF Action Plans

Sometimes one action is not enough to deal with a failure mode in a strategy development analysis. For example, an asset’s failure mode might require a condition-based maintenance task to check for signs of wear, a physical modification to the asset, and a modification to procedures (for example, training for maintenance personnel). In cases like this, you can add secondary action plans to the failure mode, and you can have more than one task with the same action type. For example, you might need two modification/redesign tasks.

An additional task type is available for secondary action plans: “Review existing maintenance”. This action plan alerts the analysis team to review an asset’s existing maintenance program to identify items that are no longer required or require modification.

This section explains how to add secondary action plans to existing failure modes.

Tip: The Action Plans view in the analysis window lists the action plans for each failure mode. The Action Plan Type column indicates whether the action plan is primary or secondary.

To Create a Secondary Action Plan

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

Tip: You can also open a failure mode by opening an asset and selecting the Strategy Development view, Strategy Development tab, and Failure Modes tab.

2.	Double-click the analysis to open the Strategy Development Analysis window.

3.	Make sure that editing is enabled.

4.	Select the Facilitation view, Info Worksheet tab. Double-click the failure mode to open the Maintenance Action Plan window.

5.	Select the Implementation view and the Secondary Action Plans tab.

6.	Click New. The New Secondary Action Plan window appears.

7.	Select a task type from the list. The options available change according to the type you select.

Note: If APM is configured to interact with a SAP Plant Maintenance system, System condition and Work center are available in the Details area.

8.	Complete the options for the action as you would for a primary action plan.

9.

If the action type is condition-based maintenance, failure-finding maintenance, scheduled restoration/discard, or review existing maintenance, you can add an inspection task and individual indicators using the Indicators tab, corrective tasks using the Tasks tab, or a work request or work order using the Follow Up tab. For information, see Adding Inspection Tasks and Indicators to SIF Action Plans.

10.	If the action type is modification/redesign, you can add a standard document to the plan. Click Browse to select or create a document.

11.	When you have finished developing the action plan, close the dialog. The action plan is saved and displayed on the Secondary Action Plans tab.
