In an ASO Analysis, an Action represents an operation that can be performed against a piece of equipment or location. Actions can represent inspections, general maintenance, or specific events that mitigate Risks. Using an action to mitigate a risk can help to improve reliability and efficiency by minimizing downtime and lost production costs.
Actions can be unique events that happen only once during a simulation period, or they can be repeated at certain times during the simulation period. You can optionally assign resources to actions to associate a specific cost with the action. When you assign resources to actions, a System Resource Usage record will be created.
Actions in ASO Analyses are stored in the following records:
System Condition Monitor Records: Store information about continuous, condition-based maintenance Actions.
System Inspection Records: Store information about periodic, condition-based maintenance Actions.
System Preventive Maintenance Records: Store information about time-based maintenance Actions.
System Special Action Records: Store information about procedural, redesign, or training Actions.
