WORK PROCESS

Oil and Gas and Chemical businesses who have more than one site often have various Risk Based Inspection (RBI) methodologies in their portfolio. Typically this derives from mergers and acquisitions, risk models changing overtime, different RBI software packages, or various different global regulatory drives (API 580/581 vs. European Risk Management Associations RIMAP standards).

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Different RBI methodologies will typically dictate different data models, work processes, and reporting metrics. This doubles or triples your man power to understand your current risk state, analysis and reporting, training, and IT costs.

SOLUTION

The SAP Asset Intelligence Network (AIN) solution set offers an extended template driven modeling capability that allows operators to setup multiple data sets to describe the various RBI approaches. This, combined with the AsInt RBI App embedded within the SAP AIN and ASPM (Asset Strategy and Performance Management) allows operators to manage multiple RBI approaches within a single solution.

SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

• SAP Asset Intelligence Network (AIN) – Optional for allowing equipment OEM’s and Service Providers to directly update your Master Data through a controlled process.

• SAP Asset Strategy and Performance Management (ASPM) – Provides Risk and Reliability and Condition Assessments data analysis.
• AsInt CORE Asset Strategy Development (RBI) – Risk Based Inspection assessment and prediction algorithms. Inputs and outputs are persisted as part of the SAP Master Data.

VALUE TO CUSTOMER

When moving to a different software platform, whether it be a MS Excel model or a commercial off-the-shelf, it can be disruptive to work process, costs, and often internal political barriers arise blocking progress to move forward. This Use Case approach allows for a single solution set while removing hurdles. Whether the operator wants to manage multiple RBI modules, or gradually move to a consolidated methodology overtime, the solution allows for a single set of data to execute RBI metrics and consolidate work processes (security, workflow, data import, etc).

At AsInt, our philosophy and software allows users to choose what RBI (Risk Based Inspection) you would like to use. The “templatized” approach allows for scaling and adapting to fully qualitative to full quantitative.

Some of the models, or templates, we have deployed to customer tenants include:

• European PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)
• NR13 – Brazilian Pressure Equipment approach
• API 5813rd – Fully quantitive American Petroleum Institute (API) methodology
• RBI+ – AsInts semi-quantitative methodology, plending API 5813rd with a less restrictive Consequence model.
• Other customer Risk Methodologies defined by customer internal processes.
