Asset Criticality Analysis: Perform Asset Criticality Analysis Workflow

The ACA workflow provides the steps for establishing the criticality of assets with APM. The assessment is based on the worst-likely case consequence of failure of the asset to provide an overall criticality value. This provides a prioritization for asset strategy development, performance improvement efforts and day-to-day asset management activities.
