RBI Workflow

This workflow provides the basic, high-level steps for using this module. 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.

Define a Process Unit record that corresponds to the functional location on which you want to perform an RBI analysis. To do so, in the Functional Location record, ensure that the Is a Unit? check box is selected.
Create a Corrosion Loop. Groups of components that are subject to similar degradation mechanisms can be part of a single corrosion loop. If you do not need to create a Corrosion Loop skip to step 4.
Link Potential Degradation Mechanisms (PDMs) to the Corrosion Loop.
Create an RBI Component to store the details of the operating conditions, design conditions, process fluids, and so on. Each component is a part of an asset that is modeled for the purpose of performing an RBI Risk Assessment.
If you have created a Corrosion Loop, then link it to the RBI Component. PDMs linked to the Corrosion Loop are inherited by the RBI Component. If you have not created a Corrosion Loop, then link PDMs directly to the RBI Component.
Create an RBI Analysis to store details of the risk assessments, probability of failure, and consequence of failure. For each DM that is linked to the RBI Component, the corresponding Degradation Mechanism (DM) is linked to the RBI Analysis.
Add additional Degradation Mechanisms to the RBI Analysis if needed.
Evaluate the DMs in the analysis.
Calculate the analysis.
Evaluate the consequences and probability of failure, and finalize the risk. The state of the analysis changes to Risk Completed.
Generate Recommendations. You can also create Recommendations manually.
Promote the asset to Asset Strategy Management (ASM). All the analyses associated with the asset are promoted to ASM.
