Your utility plays an essential role in the health and wellbeing of the communities you serve. It is vital that you make the right decisions about where to target your resources to maintain and sustain the critical infrastructure assets you manage.
A Criticality Analysis is a powerful decision-support tool for identifying and mitigating risk, setting the right priorities and directing limited resources to the most critical systems to maintain your Level of Service requirements. The analysis will help you align your organization, understand your utility better, and optimize performance, risk and cost.
The MentorAPM Work and Asset Performance Management suite includes Criticality Analyzer™, a superior criticality & risk analysis application that facilitates rapid and accurate cross-functional criticality analyses of your utility to deliver precise and reliable risk-rankings you can count on.
A Functional System Criticality Analysis using Criticality Analyzer enables:
- Transparent and consistent decision-making
- Risk-based decision-making grounded in asset knowledge
- Alignment of organizational and stakeholder objectives
- Connection of the long-term strategic view to daily work and asset strategy execution
A FSCA starts with the big picture and traces critical network relationships to identify the most crucial component systems. From there we can drill down efficiently to the asset level - only critical systems contain critical assets. This approach dramatically reduces the time required to complete a critically analysis for an entire facility.
Your FSCA is tailored to your unique context and driven by your most important values, delivering a final
analysis that is truly reflective of your operational constraints, with real mitigation items for your utility.
Benefits
- Up to 5 times faster than a conventional criticality analysis.
- Inclusion of 100% of systems and assets ensures identification of previously unrecognized risk.
- More accurate and comprehensive relative risk-rankings than a typical risk matrix exercise.
- The FSCA process cultivates cross-disciplinary collaboration and agreement.
- Facilitates alignment from the top of your agency down to the field.
Efficient and Functional
CA simplifies the challenge of performing a criticality analysis across your utility. You can move quickly from analysis to action, prioritizing work orders, capital spend, and risk-mitigating strategies. Documentation capabilities meet the robust requirements for any asset management program seeking to meet ISO55000 standards. Risk mitigation notes for engineering follow up are easily captured.
Comprehensive and Integrated
CA easily manages multiple complex risk parameters, combining them into an overall criticality & risk ranking. The results are integrated with the full MentorAPM suite, automatically updating work and asset priority.
- PM schedules are automatically updated based on revised risk profiles.
- Changes in asset risk numbers trigger Level of Service impact alerts.
- Changes in asset condition scores and asset failures generate updated risk rankings.
Easy To Understand
Detailed and customized visuals and reports are easy to understand, allowing you to quickly identify the most critical systems posing the greatest potential risk for your facility.
Flexible
CATM can capture all risk factors and variables specific to your utlity and has the unique ability to weight corporate values and and separately emphasize impact and probability scaling levels. Hierarchies can be visualized, manipulated, edited, and all results are easily exported.
Proven
CA is built on an extensively fieldtested and proven process with demonstrated positive bottom-line impact over the last decade.
MentorAPM is Asset Performance & Work Management software built for water/wastewater utilities, to help you align your organization, understand your utility, and optimize operational performance, risk and cost for sustainable service delivery.
