ASO Records

The following tables provide alphabetical lists and descriptions of the fields that exist in Asset Strategy Optimization. The information in the tables reflect the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Note: The site key for an ASO analysis is locked with the site key of the strategy. You can only import asset and system strategies of the same site as the analysis.

System Condition Monitor

System Condition Monitor records store details about continuous, condition-based maintenance Actions. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the System Condition Monitor family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Action Cost	Number	A number that specifies the cost associated with any materials or personnel needed to complete the Action. For System Condition Monitor records, this value represents a one-time expense that is incurred when the Action is started. By default, this field contains the value 0.	On the System Condition Monitor datasheet, this field appears as a text box. You can remove the default value and enter a number directly in the Action Cost cell.
Action Type	Character	The category into which the Action can be classified. By default, this field contains the value Condition-Based Maintenance (Predictive) (CM) .	This field is disabled on the System Condition Monitor datasheet.
Condition Monitoring Type	Character	Indicates whether the Action occurs continuously or periodically. By default, this field contains the value Continuous.	This field is disabled on the System Condition Monitor datasheet.
Description	Text	Additional information about the Action.	On the System Condition Monitor datasheet, this field appears as a text box with a button. You can enter you own value directly in the Description cell or select the button to view the Text Editor.
Detection Probability	Number	A number representing the probability that the Action will identify a potential failure resulting from any Risk assigned to that Action and correct the potential failure.	On the datasheet, this field appears as a box labeled Detection Probability (%). You remove the default value and enter a number directly in the cell. For an Action with no assigned Risks, any value stored in this field will be ignored. For example, a System Condition Monitor record with the Detection Probability value 50 has a 50% chance of identifying a potential failure resulting from a Risk. In other words, the Action will detect one out of two potential failures resulting from any Risks assigned to the Action. By default, this field contains the value 100.
GUID	Character	A value that uniquely identifies the record within an ASO Analysis. The value that exists in this field is generated automatically by GE Digital APM and should not be modified as it is required for the proper functioning of ASO.	By default, this field is disabled and not included on the datasheet.
Mandatory	Logical	This field is not used in ASO.	N/A
Name	Character	The name of the Action.	On the datasheet, this field appears as a text box. You can enter your own value directly in the Name cell. This value is used to identify Actions in ASO Analyses. For instance, by default the Name column appears in the grid in the Actions pane for the Asset Strategy Optimization Scenarios - Actions page and displays values that exist in the Name field to identify the System Action records that are displayed in the grid.

System Inspection

System Inspection records store details about periodic, condition-based maintenance Actions. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the System Inspection family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

Field	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Action Cost	Number	A number that specifies the cost associated with any materials or personnel needed to complete the Action. For System Inspection records, this value represents an expense that is incurred every time the Action occurs. By default, this field contains the value 0.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a text box. You can remove the default value and enter a number directly in the Action Cost cell.
Action Type	Character	The category into which the Action can be classified. By default, this field contains the value Condition-Based Maintenance (Predictive) (CM).	This field is disabled on the System Inspection datasheet.
Condition Monitoring Type	Character	Indicates whether the Action occurs continuously or periodically. By default, this field contains the value Periodic.	This field is disabled on the System Inspection datasheet.
Description	Text	Additional information about the Action.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a text box with a button. You can enter you own value directly in the Description cell or select the button to view the Text Editor.
Detection Probability	Number	A number representing the probability that the Action will identify a potential failure resulting from any Risk and correct that failure before it occurs. For an Action with no assigned Risks, any value stored in this field will be ignored.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a box labeled Detection Probability (%). You can remove the default value and enter a number directly in the cell. An Action can detect a potential failure only when the Action occurs during a Risk's PF Interval, as defined by the value in the PF Interval and PF Interval Units fields in the System Risk record. If the Action does not occur during the PF Interval, the Action cannot identify the potential failure, and the value in the Detection Probability field will be ignored. To make the Action occur during the PF Interval of a Risk, you can manually modify the values in the PF Interval and PF Interval Units fields of the System Risk record, or you can optimize the Action. For example, setting the Detection Probability to 50 would indicate that the Action has a 50% chance of identifying a potential failure resulting from any risk if the Action occurs during the PF Interval of the Risks. In other words, the Action will detect one out of two potential failures resulting from any Risks assigned to the Action when the Action occurs during the PF Interval of the Risks.
Duration	Number	A number that, combined with the value in the Duration Units field, identifies the total time required to complete the Action. For example, if the value in the Duration field is 4 and the value in the Duration Units field is Hours, then the Action will take four hours to complete. This field contains the value 0 by default.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a text box. You can remove the default value and enter your own value directly in the Duration cell.
Duration Units	Character	The time units associated with the value in the Duration field. By default, this field contains the value Days.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a list with a blank caption and contains the following units: Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or Years. You can select a value from this list.
GUID	Character	A value that uniquely identifies the record within an ASO Analysis. The value that exists in this field is generated automatically by the GE Digital APM system and should not be modified as it is required for the proper functioning of ASO.	This field is disabled and not included on the datasheet by default.
Interval	Number	A number that, combined with the value in the Interval Units field, indicates how often the Action will occur. For example, if the value in the Interval field is 4 and the value in the Interval Units field is Months, then the Action will occur every four months during the simulation period. This field contains the value 1 by default.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a text box. You can remove the default value and enter your own value directly in the Interval cell.
Interval Units	Character	The time units associated with the value in the Interval field. By default, this field contains the value Days.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as list with a blank caption and contains the following units: Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or Years.
Mandatory	Logical	This field is not used in ASO.	N/A
Name	Character	The name of the Action.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a text box. You can enter your own value directly in the Name cell. This value is used to identify Actions in the ASO Analyses. For instance, the Name column appears by default in the grid in the Actions pane on the Asset Strategy Optimization Scenarios - Actions page and displays values that exist in the Name field to identify the System Action records that are displayed in the grid.
One Time Action	Logical	Indicates whether the Action will occur one time or will be repeated more than once.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a check box labeled One Time Action. This check box is cleared by default, indicating that the Action will occur more than once. You can select this check box to indicate that an Action will occur one time. For example, an Action to inspect the vibration level of a pump might occur several times a year. In this case, the One Time Action check box in the corresponding System Inspection record would be clear. An Action to inspect a newly installed pump for any installation errors might occur only once, however, in which case the One Time Action check box in the corresponding System Inspection record would be selected.
Shutdown Required	Logical	Indicates whether the Action requires the piece of equipment or location to be shut down in order for the Action to be completed or can be completed while the piece of equipment or location is running.	On the System Inspection datasheet, this field appears as a check box labeled Shutdown Required. This check box is clear by default, indicating that the piece of equipment or location does not need to be shut down for the Action to be completed. You select this check box to indicate that the piece of equipment or location must be shut down for the Action to be completed. For example, an Action to inspect the vibration level of a pump could be completed while the pump is running, so the Shutdown Required check box would be clear. An Action to inspect the internal components of a pump would be completed while the pump is not running, so the Shutdown Required check box would be selected.
