Asset Criticality Analysis<br />

Everyone says they have identified their critical equipment. But, in many cases, equipment criticality could<br />

change based on how upset people are about an equipment problem or because people are confused about what<br />

consequences associate to failure and the probability it will occur if we manage equipment reliability effectively. The<br />

purpose of the Asset Criticality Analysis is to identify which equipment has the most serious potential consequences<br />

on business performance, if it fails. Consequences on the business can include:<br />

• Production Throughput or Equipment / Facility Utilization • Cost due to lost or reduced output<br />

• Environmental Issues • Safety Issues • Other<br />

The resulting Equipment Criticality Number is used to prioritize resources performing maintenance work.<br />

The Intercept Ranking Model illustrates this process (Figure 4). On the “Y” axis you see the asset criticality is listed<br />

from none to high. I like using a scale of 0-1000 because all assets are not necessarily equal.<br />
