International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

702184

Abstract:

Methods of providing maintenance management of a machine are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method involves identifying a machine component failure that, if not repaired, will result in a functional failure of the machine. A criticality factor is assigned to the machine component failure based on at least a probability of occurrence of the functional failure and a consequence of the functional failure to a machine user. A maintenance task is generated to repair the machine component failure, and a triggering condition that activates the maintenance task is defined. The method further involves conducting a machine repair in response to a detection of the triggering condition, and maintaining a record that includes information relating to the conducted machine repair. The method of providing maintenance management is also modified based on at least the record.

Abstract:

A computer system for a asset criticality system is provided. The computer system has a platform, at least one input device, and a central processing unit in communication with the platform and the at least one input device. The central processing unit is configured to receive project information from a user, asset population information about a project, and determine a plurality of available assets according to the received information. The central processing unit is also configured to generate asset information for the user based on the determined plurality of available assets and to provide at least one customized background display based on the received project and asset population information, and generated asset information. The central processing unit is further configured to enable the user to populate a customized background display by selectively adding individual assets and to individually rate the populated assets according to their criticality.
