2. Analytical methods for assessing criticality
For industrial systems under design or in operation, it is essential to determine the severity of the consequences of equipment failures and their frequency of occurrence. Based on feedback from similar equipment during the design phase, or on actual data collected on equipment in operation, it becomes possible to assess the criticality of potential or actual equipment failures. The methods described in the following paragraphs are essentially dedicated to these two scenarios.
