[vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column][vc_column_text]If your business uses assets to deliver a product or service, your dependence on these assets introduces risk. Therefore, you implement expensive maintenance programs to offset that risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But how do you gauge the effectiveness of your maintenance spend<\/a>? Are you maintaining the correct assets at the right frequency, and how much are you spending unnecessarily?<\/span><\/p>\n

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll introduce you to a risk assessment and management method that answers those questions – criticality analysis.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What is criticality analysis?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Criticality analysis (CA) is a structured and systematic method of assessing the risk asset failures pose to a business. The method is used to rank the criticality of assets relative to each other. This supports the implementation of targeted plant maintenance strategies proportional to the failure’s impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The structured process removes considerable subjectivity while optimizing maintenance spending. It helps improve <\/span>asset availability and reliability<\/span><\/a>, plant safety, and equipment uptime.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the purpose of completing an asset criticality assessment?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Criticality analysis is not just another maintenance tool for the engineering and maintenance department to save money. It’s a strategic business process requiring involvement and input from a broad range of company departments if it is to deliver company-wide benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n
