Manage your protective devices properly with the help of Our Failure Finding Interval Calculator.
Are you a Reliability Engineer or Maintenance Professional responsible for the proper management of hidden failures? Our convenient and intuitive Failure Finding Interval Calculator is designed to help you determine the most appropriate Failure Finding task intervals for hidden failure modes of protective devices. Using standard formulae that are compliant with SAE JA1011 and JA1012 standards, this tool empowers you to enhance safety, reliability, and cost efficiency.
How It Works:
The tool provides a full suite of availability-based, risk-based, economic optimization, and voting system formulae to calculate the appropriate failure finding interval.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Failure Finding Interval Calculation:
- Evaluate hidden failures for critical systems and determine the appropriate task interval using:
- Availability-based formula: Maximize system uptime.
- Risk-based formula: Minimize risks to safety, the environment, or operations.
- Economic optimization formula: Balance costs of inspection versus potential failure consequences.
- Voting system formula: Incorporate multiple factors for multi-layered decisions.
- Evaluate hidden failures for critical systems and determine the appropriate task interval using:
- Integration with the RCM Decision Diagram:
- Use the RCM Decision Diagram to align with industry best practices and ensure compliance with SAE JA1011 and JA1012 standards.
- Confirm that failure finding tasks are technically feasible, worth doing, and tailored to manage protective devices effectively.
- Tailored Recommendations for Protective Devices:
- Identify the optimal failure finding task interval for protective systems such as alarms, interlocks, or redundant components to mitigate risks associated with hidden failures.
- Dynamic Scenario Analysis:
- Compare intervals calculated under different scenarios (e.g., availability vs. risk-based) to make informed decisions that align with your organizational goals.
Why Use the Failure Finding Interval Calculator?
- Increase System Reliability:
- Manage hidden failures by determining failure finding task intervals that are appropriate for the configuration and the context.
- Ensure Compliance:
- Align with RCM Decision Diagram logic and adhere to SAE JA1011/1012 standards for reliability-centred maintenance.
- Save Costs and Resources:
- Use the economic optimization formula to identify cost-effective maintenance strategies without compromising reliability.
- Enhance Safety and Availability:
- Apply availability-based and risk-based approaches to ensure protective devices are operational to the required level of performance.
Who Is It For?
This tool is perfect for:
- RCM Facilitators identifying tasks to manage hidden failures during the application of the RCM Decision Diagram.
- Maintenance Professionals managing protective devices like alarms, trips and stand-by equipment
- Organizations aiming to comply with RCM standards and improve system safety and performance.
