Asset Criticality Analysis Workflow

This topic provides the basic, high-level steps for using ACAAn Asset Criticality Analysis record and all the records that are linked to that record. Using the ACA interface, you can evaluate the criticality of systems and the individual locations and pieces of equipment that make up those systems by defining the consequences and probability of the failure events that may occur. In this way, you can determine which of your systems, locations, and pieces of equipment have the highest risk of failure in your facility. In other words, using the ACA interface, you can determine which of your systems, locations, and pieces of equipment are critical.. The steps and links in this workflow do not necessarily reference every possible procedure. For more procedures, see the links in the Related Information section.
