About Navigating APM via the Asset Hierarchy
APM is built on the premise, within your company, there are multiple functional locations that can be organized in a hierarchy to represent the fact that some locations belong to other locations. These relationships create the Asset Hierarchy.
Navigating the Asset Hierarchy
The Asset Hierarchy allows you to browse your assets from the top-level functional location.
- Company (MRD ~ Meridium, Inc.)
- Sites (MRD-ROA ~ Meridium Roanoke)
- Areas (MRD-ROA-REFN ~ Meridium Roanoke Chemicals)
- Units (MRD-ROA-CHEM-CM101 ~ Meridium Roanoke Chemicals Unit CM101)
- Functional Locations (MRD-ROA-CHEM-CM101-FT101A ~ REACTOR COOLANT FLOW)
- Equipment (G0022-065 ~ 000000000001034757 ~ PUMP)
- To navigate to a parent-level or child-level equipment or functional location of an asset that is selected in the hierarchy, select the corresponding breadcrumb link in the breadcrumb path.
- To expand or collapse the Asset Hierarchy panel, select
or
, respectively.
- To resize the Asset Hierarchy panel, drag the border of the panel to the required width.
- As a standard practice, we assume that your equipment is installed in locations that exist on the lowest level of your location hierarchy.
- The Asset Hierarchy displays:
- A maximum of 500 top-level records in the hierarchy.
- A maximum of 500 child equipment or functional locations for a parent functional location.
The <Asset Name> Page
As you navigate through the Asset Hierarchy, at each level, information about the Risk, Strategy, and Performance of that level is displayed on the <Asset Name> page. The <Asset Name> page provides a snapshot of all the data in APM related to the asset selected in the Asset Hierarchy. For each Risk, Strategy, and Performance item, there is a hyperlink displaying the number and type of analysis performed against that asset. The hyperlinks, once selected, open the analyses or inspections on a new page while maintaining the selection in the Asset Hierarchy.
- In the Asset Hierarchy, navigate to Meridium Roanoke Refining.
Meridium Roanoke Refining is selected in the Asset Hierarchy, and the Meridium Roanoke Refining page is displayed, and the Risk tab is selected. From this page, you can view the Risk snapshot (e.g. there are 11 ACAs, 8 FMEAs, 12 RCMs, etc.) against the asset, as shown in the following image.
- Select the 10 Analyses link.
On a new page, the ACA Overview page appears, and the selection in the Asset Hierarchy, Meridium Roanoke Refining, is displayed in the page heading.
