Interventions, Parameters, and Factors

This window shows all the parameters and factors for the asset category. Most of the fields are set up ahead of time, but new or generic categories may need to be configured.

Interventions represent specific maintenance actions along with their associated resources, specific asset groups, and costs. Each group has a unit cost that factors in to the asset category risk matrix. Three interventions, Replacement, Refurbishment level 1, and Refurbishment level 2 are created by default. Each intervention can have either an assigned resource or flat cost configured. Both options have a text field to add the health score reduction factor. Here is an example of one intervention.

To create an intervention:

1. From the right side corner, click Add intervention.

2. Click either Resources, that calculate costs per unit, or Flat cost, that adds the cost of the asset.

   1. For Resources, select the group name from the menu and enter the number of units. Add more resources as needed then enter the Health score reduction factor.

   2. For Flat cost, enter the currency amount and Health score reduction factor.

3. When finished, click the check mark next to the title.

   

You can add factor boxes to the category and then configure it to meet business needs.

Factors that affect the health score include:

• duty

• location

• measuredConditions

• observedConditions

• reliability

Factors that affect the consequences of failure include:

• networkCof

• financialCof

• environmentalCof

• safetyCof

To add a new factor:

1. Click the plus sign and enter a name for it.

2. Select whether the data is based on Choice, Threshold, or Rule Engine.

   • Choice refers to string-type data and can represent values such as condition results, such as 'Good Condition, or binary inputs, such as 0 and 1, to indicate states like open or closed for a circuit breaker.

   • Threshold describes a measured attribute that exceeds a boundary. Examples include ambient temperature and electrical load tolerance.

   • The rule engine is created from a decision tree. You can feed several input keys into the graph, arrange the components, and create an output variable. See the GoRules User Manual for more information on how this graph is created.

3. Enter the text for the applicable fields.

4. Click the plus sign to add more input values.

   

   You can also select an alarm that triggers when a threshold is exceeded, or rule parameters are met.
