PoF or Probability of failure is a rank that tell us about how likely a equipment will fail. CoF or Consequence of failure is a rank that tell us about how much failure impacts. In a simple way PoF, CoF and Risk are 3 terms that we used to rank all equipment in a company. Risk based inspection metric may consist of 3×3 , 4×4, 5×5 or[…]

In simple way, we can classify that activities into 3 block diagram: input, process and output. IPO diagram : Input – Process – Output Input : last inspection record, equipment data,[…]
Read moreExcel for Mechanical Engineer, cost saving by Risk Based Inspection
how to use excel for Risk Based Inspection? We will figure out inspection plan using data in the previous article. First we will find optimum inspection date base on fixed interval and RBI interval using simple excel spreadsheet. Use excel function “ + ; MAX”. remark: next inspection – fixed = Last inspection date + fixed inspection interval ( 5 years) next inspection – RBI = Last inspection date + RBI inspection interval next inspection date = Maximum (optimum) value between next inspection – fixed and next – inspection RBI.
