    a b s t r a c t

    Equipment management in process industry in China essentially belongs to the traditional breakdown

    maintenance pattern, and the basic inspection/maintenance decision-making is weak. Equipment

    inspection/maintenance tasks are mainly based on the empirical or qualitative method, and it lacks

    identication and classication of critical equipment, so that maintenance resources cant be reasonably

    allocated. Reliability, availability and safety of equipment are difcult to control and guarantee due to the

    existing maintenance deciencies, maintenance surplus, potential danger and possible accidents. In

    order to ensure stable production and reduce operation cost, equipment maintenance and safety

    integrity management system (MSI) is established in this paper, which integrates ERP, MES, RBI, RCM, SIL

    and PMIS together. MSI can provide dynamic risk rank data, predictive maintenance data and RAM

    decision-making data, through which the personnel at all levels can grasp the risk state of equipment

    timely and accurately and optimize maintenance schedules to support the decision-making. The result of

    an engineering case shows that the system can improve reliability, availability, and safety, lower failure

    frequency, decrease failure consequences and make full use of maintenance resources, thus achieving the

    reasonable and positive result. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    1. Introduction

    Petrochemical production processes are complicated and highly

    continuous,and the process medium is of high temperature,of high

    pressure, inammable, explosive and toxic. Equipment in these

    plants tends to become lager-scale and highly-automated, and if

    certain unpredicted failure occurs, it may lead to huge economic

    losses, environmental pollution and catastrophic safety accidents,

    not only to themselves but also to the surroundings. Traditional

    equipment maintenance and safety management thoughts bear

    the characteristics of more inspection, more maintenance andbreakdown maintenance, which are still the dominance in

    Chinese petrochemical enterprises. Unpredicted equipment fail-

    ures and unplanned maintenance seem to happen more frequently

    than ever before, which, substantially inuence the safety cost,

    environmental cost and economic cost, making the reliability and

    availability of equipment lower than expected. Within many large-

    scale plant-based industries, maintenance cost can account as

    much as 40% of the total operational budgets (Eti, Ogaji, & Probert,

    2006), and therefore it is urgent and indispensable to improve

    maintenance effectiveness.

    Petrochemical plants around the world are trying to implement

    reliability programs to improve plant safety while maintaining

    equipment availability (Michel, & Mufeed, 2008).The benetsare so

    evident that in several rening and petrochemical factories, main-

    tenance budgets have been reduced by up to 50% (Rodney, 2001).

    What reliability engineering is, how reliability models can be made

    and what kind of data needs to collect have been discussed (Michel,

    & Mufeed, 2008). An approach for the integration of RAMS and riskanalysis is developed as a guide in maintenance policies to reduce

    the frequency of failures and maintenance costs (Eti et al., 2006).

    Well-informeddecisions, basedon the sound reliabilityengineering

    principle, have been used in industrial application of RAMmodeling

    (Herder, van Luijk, & Bruijnooge, 2008) and the maintenance indi-

    cators have been used to evaluate the effects of maintenance

    programson performance and safety (Martorell, Sanchez, & Munoz,

    1999). RIMAP methodology provides a guideline for making risk-

    based decisions for maintenance and inspection planning, which

    concentrates inspection activities on the key component which

    bring increased safety and availability (Jovanovic, 2004). The* Corresponding author:Tel.: 86 010 64443058/8301, 86 18601128185 (mobile).

    feasibility and advantages of integrating the safety management

    system (SMS) and the equipment mechanical integrity (MI) by

    means of RBI method has been demonstrated, and the essential

    requirements forintegratingMI in SMSare discussedto focus on the

    mandatory inspections and on critical components (Bragatto,Pittiglio, & Ansaldi, 2009). It can be seen from the above-

    mentionedresearch that much literature researchhas been done on

    reliability programs, but traditional technologies are onlyapplicable

    to some certain stage or aspect of equipment management, the

    existing information systems with different functions suchas ERP or

    EAM, MES, Equipment Condition Monitoring System, risk assess-

    ment tools (i.e. RCM, RBI and SIL), equipment maintenance/perfor-

    mance evaluation system and reliability data collection system,

    which are related to equipment management have almost been

    ignored or isolated each other. Furthermore,there are fewer studies

    on the combination of the above-mentioned technologies.

    This paper aims to investigate a kind of MSI management

    system to improve equipment reliability, availability and safety in

    process industry. Based on the technologyof reliability engineering,risk-based management and professional management technology

    are used to establish an intelligent maintenance indicator decision-

    making model in MSI. This paper rst explains the principles of

    equipment integrity management and the intelligent maintenance

    indicator decision-making PDCACycling process. RBI, RCM, SIL, ERP,

    MES, PMIS are integrated together to provide standard data struc-

    ture in support of decision-making analysis and to eliminate

    Information Island to share information for various experts in

    different departments in process industry. The collection, storage,

    loading and exchange of reliability and maintenance data are

    complied with the unied standard, and the needed data for

    quantitative risk analysis, fault prediction, fault diagnosis, mainte-

    nance tasks optimization and formulation can all be achieved.

    The next section outlines the framework of the equipmentintegrity management information system in process industry and

    discusses the contents and features of equipment integrity manage-

    ment. In Section3, we discuss at length some indicators of mainte-

    nance decision-making and the intelligent equipment maintenance

    indicator decision-making process. In Section4, we emphasize the

    importance of MSI training for personnel at all levels. Section 5

    illustrates and discusses an application case of MSI system. Conclu-

    sions from building andutilizing MSI system is reported in Section 6.

    2. Equipment integrity management in process industry

    The intrinsic safety of a device relates to its design and quality,

    and the safety production in process industry mostly relates to the

    quality of installation and the maintenance of devices. For the

    already-established equipment, the unreliability might be in

    connection with design defects, incorrect manipulations, inadequate

    maintenance or inability to predict failures that may occur during

    operation (Eti, Ogaji, & Probert, 2007). Although statutory inspection

    intervals enforced by legislations on pressure equipment and otherspecial equipments are implemented in China, but the inspection/

    maintenance strategy is empirical, qualitative and arbitrary, and the

    detection efciency of equipments defects and faults is very low.

    Because of lacking the rst hand equipment health examination,

    regulation inspection/maintenance tasks usually couldnt prevent

    accidents or disasters resulting from equipments. Breakdown and

    malfunction of equipment usually lead to biological and chemical

    disasters. Statistics show that more than 40% of the disasters which

    happened in petrochemical industry were caused by equipment

    failure, so it is very important to ensure the integrity of equipment

    (Jiang, & Li, 2007).It can beseen from Fig.1 that maintenance models

    have experienced several phases, from breakdown maintenance,

    preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, risk-based main-

    tenancetowards maintenanceand safety integrity management,andthere actually exists a close relationship between maintenance ef-

    ciency and maintenance model. Reliability, availability, maintain-

    ability and safety are the key indicators of maintenance efciency,

    which are critical in optimizing maintenance model.

    equipment integrity management system, and on the other hand,

    on the basis of risk analysis, it utilizes technical measures in

    combination with criterion management to ensure that critical

    equipment can operate in stable condition.

    There are mainly six elements in equipment integrity manage-

    ment: identication and classication of critical equipment,

    inspection and preventive maintenance, abnormality management,

    quality ensuring, documentation of program and training, which,

    not only involves the duty of management but also is concerned

    with every staff in relation to the manufacturing process.

    Equipment integrity management in process industry often

    bears such features as below:

    (1) Preventive maintenance is better than breakdown mainte-

    nance, so that preventive maintenance plans and measures are

    demanded for critical equipment;

    (2) Risk rank of equipment is considered, and inspection/mainte-

    nance resources should be transferred towards equipment of

    higher risk rank;

    (3) Process of the integrity management is dynamic and

    continuous;

    (4) Integrity management means that all equipments of one unit

    or one system should be integrity characteristics and therequirements for integrity correlate with the risk rank of each

    equipment;

    (5) Integrity management runs through the entire process,

    including design, manufacture, installation, utilization, main-

    tenance and discard;

    (6) Integrity management focuses on managing equipment

    abnormality, which is often the precursor of failure;

    (7) Integrity management requires that standard maintenance

    procedures be made strictly and checked periodically for the

    purpose of ensuring the working quality.

    AsFig. 2 shows, equipment integrity management system can

    be divided into four aspects: work execution and review, proactive

    maintenance, risk-based management as well as MSI. Risk-basedmanagement which utilizes RBI, RCM and SIL evaluation tools to

    identify and classify key equipments is the core content and the

    technical support for the system. Risk-based evaluation can be used

    to determine the risk rank of equipment, formulate optimal

    maintenance tasks, allocate maintenance resources reasonably and

    avoid maintenance deciencies/surplus, thus ensuring the reli-

    ability of equipment. Preventive maintenance, predictive mainte-

    nance and RCA are all proactive maintenance modes which are

    applied by the integrity management. Predictive maintenance

    information, risk rank of equipment and RAM indicators are the

    basis to make inspection/maintenance strategies. In every stage of

    the life cycle of equipment, purposeful preventive maintenance and

    failure eradication plans are needed, especially for high-risk

    equipment. During the work execution and review process, optimal

    maintenance tasks are executed through EAM, CMMS or ERP

    system, while failure data and maintenance data are recorded

    according to certain standards. In the meantime, working tasks are

    conrmed and optimized through professional management

    programs in terms of lubrication management, operation

    management, abnormality management (defect & fault manage-

    ment) and archives management, thus ensuring the quality of the

    workow.

    Abnormality management, which can be divided into preven-

    tive management and predictive management, is also important in

    the integrity management system (Jiang, & Li, 2007). Some contents

    of preventive management coincide with those of intrinsic safety

    design. In order to avoid failures which are usually unobvious,

    safety protection devices are set up during the reliability designprocess, which needs planned inspection, planned testing and

    planned checking to formulate failure-pinpointing tasks. To achieve

    the goal of intrinsic safety, the most important thing is to prevent

    incipient failure in advance, and through self-diagnosis or self-

    recovery, equipment can re-operate in an orderly and stable state

    (Gao, & Yang, 2006). Effective preventive management can gener-

    ally ensure the safety of individual equipment, but cant ensure the

    integral safety of one unit or one system, while predictive

    management can fulll this task. It utilizes predictive maintenance

    technology in combination of vibration, temperature, pressure,

    ow, liquid level, current, corrosion rate and other features to

    perform incipient failure diagnosis by vibration analysis, thermo-

    graph analysis, ultrasonic analysis and lubrication oil analysis. By

    doing so, uncertainty of maintenance, failure frequency and failureconsequence can be reduced, thus minimizing maintenance cost

    while improving operational safety (Ray, FIEAust, & CPEng., 2004).

    2.2. Equipment integrity management information

    systemof process industry

    In order to improve utilization efciency of resources and

    promote comprehensive management, many Chinese petrochem-

    ical enterprises have made efforts to popularize ERP systems, by

    which the logistics ow, capital ow and information ow are

    integrated so that enterprise resources are effectively exploited.

    However, the PM module of ERP system only utilizes twofunctions:

    master data and maintenance worksheet of equipment, while the

    preventive maintenance module and reliability managementmodule are not sufciently investigated or applied, and for this

    reason the ERP system cant satisfy the need for integrity

    management. Up to now, some enterprises have set up PMIS based

    on condition monitoring technologies, MES based on production

    management, EAM system based on the asset management and

    CMMS based on maintenance management to promote the

    equipment management level. However, the standards of reliability

    data of different equipment are not consistent, so that information

    is difcult to exchange, thus forming the information islands.

    AsFig. 3shows, equipment integrity management refers to an

    integral management system, in which there exist information

    exchange and workow among every element and every hierarchy.

    By using computer technology, web service technology and database

    technology, we can establish the equipment integrity management

    system incorporating RCM, RBI,SIL and other risk evaluation tools on

    the basis of SOA. Meanwhile, both online and ofine conditionmonitoring data from PMIS as well as process data from MES have

    beenintegratedinto the system platform. Using OPC(OLE for Process

    Control) and RFC (Remote Function Call) interface protocols, the data

    communication between MSI and MES, ERP has realized separately

    based on SOA technology. Equipment integrity management system

    can minimize the routine inspection/maintenance work while not

    causing negative impacts to equipment performance, product

    quality, safety or environment. Process data, condition monitoring

    data, historical inspection/maintenance data, key performance

    indicator (e.g. RAM, LCC, MTBF, MTTR, failure frequency and failure

    consequence) and dynamic risk evaluation data are all integrated to

    perform comprehensive analysis through the unied data structure

    and manemachine interface. Through the system platform,

    personnel at all levels can master equipment operating status timelyand utilize dynamic data to make decisions for the purpose of

    ensuring the operational safety and reliability (Deshpande & Modak,

    2002).

    Equipment integrity management in process industry is

    a rigorous, scientic and normalized management model, and this

    system is established with risk management as the core and

    professional management as the mainline. Lubrication manage-

    ment, operation management, abnormality management, archives

    management, work identication and optimization management

    can be gradually optimized via the system. Professional manage-

    ment workow is designed based on the requirements to ensure

    work quality, and the workow can be executed through the

    system, so that the equipment management model can gradually

    transform from function-oriented towards process-oriented. Based

    on dynamic data analysis, an indicator decision-making mecha-

    nism, which incorporates RAM, dynamic risk ranking and PMIS, hasbeen established to help assess the effectiveness of maintenance

    measures. By monitoring the changes of indicators, maintenance

    measures can be adjusted. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that the

    equipment integrity management system in process industry is

    a dynamic PDCA Deming cycle. The equipment fault diagnosis or

    fault prediction information from PMIS can predict failure occurs

    and failure trends, when the realtime signature strength exceeds

    the threshold of alert level or alarm level of failure symptom

    signature, fault can be diagnosed and the equipment residual life

    can be calculated through fault degradation trend (Fig. 5). RAM is

    a statistical and quantitative analysis indicator which reects

    equipment reliability, availability and maintainability. Equipment

    reliability or availability which falls short of expectation will be

    identied and the weakness or failure will be eliminated. Risk valueresults from the combination of the consequence of failure and the

    likelihood of failure, the higher risk rank, the more maintenance

    resources (i.e. budget, personnel) should be exploited. With the

    help of the indicator decision-making mechanism, basic manage-

    ment of equipment can be improved, safety production can be

    ensured, failure rate and failure consequences can be reduced,

    equipment efciency and availability can be raised and mainte-

    nance resource allocation can be more effectively and reasonably.

    Predictive Maintenance Information System, which is based on

    condition monitoring, web services, XML (Extensive Makeup

    Language) signature, XML encryption, UML (Unied Modeling

    Language) and other technology, is used to incorporate Condition

    Monitoring System into equipment integrity management system

    in order that it can realize performance monitoring, data collection,

    automatic failure diagnostics and failure prediction (Gao, 2001),

    which can help determine inspection/maintenance measures, and

    by doing so, failure diagnosis and maintenance decision-making

    have been integrated. Condition-based maintenance techniques

    utilized by PMIS include vibration analysis, infrared thermograph

    analysis, lubrication analysis, tribology analysis, ultrasonic analysis,

    motor current analysis, performance analysis, corrosion analysis

    and so on. They aim to reduce unexpected failures via condition

    monitoring and conduct remedial actions in case failure happens.

    For rotating machines, rotor imbalance, shaft misalignment, shaft

    cracking, blades rubbing, blade abnormality, blades stall/surge,

    uidlm bearing wear, oil whirl, oil whip and other failures can be

    automatically diagnosed or predicted through condition moni-

    toring analysis. Different failures have different characteristic

    signals, and it is assumed that the strength of the signals may

    represent the severity of failures. Based on this assumption, the

    optimal inspection/maintenance contents and periods can be

    determined. Both automatic and manual failure diagnosis messages

    underlie the maintenance decision-makings.

    3. Intelligent equipment maintenance indicator

    decision-making model

    Martorell, Villanueva, and Carlos (2005)studied the application

    of RAMS genetic algorithms-based information decision-making in

    multi-objective optimization of maintenance and technical speci-

    cations.Blanchard, Verna, and Peterson (1995)described how to

    employ FMECA, FTA and ETA to perform RAMS and LCC risk anal-

    ysis.Herder et al. (2008)investigated the industrial application of

    RAM.Paul and Funkhouser (2007) studied equipment integrity and

    risk analysis for reneries and chemical plants.Warburton, Strutt,

    and Allsop (1998) presented a methodology for predicting char-

    acteristics of mechanical-failures.Martorell et al. (1999)researched

    the utilization of maintenance indicators that can evaluate the

    performance of NPP and the effectiveness of maintenance

    programs. No matter which method is selected for maintenance

    decision-making, reliability prediction, risk evaluation and histor-ical failure data is necessary, while the lack of adequate reliability

    data and maintenance data may lead to the difculty in failure

    prediction and failure prevention using probability analysis, Wei-

    bull plot, Monte Carlo simulation, Markov models, root cause

    analysis and other reliability models that heavily depend on

    probabilistic methods. MTBF, reliability and availability are all

    related to maintenance decision-making criteria, of which the top-

    down classication is established, including risk rank, failure

    frequency, and safety level dened in RAM standard (EN50126-1,

    2006). With RAM indicator and dynamic risk rank of equipment

    taken into consideration, failure frequency and their corresponding

    failure consequence can be reduced dramatically (Eti et al., 2007).

    The biggest challenge for the China petrochemical enterprise to

    establish Intelligent Maintenance Indicator Decision-making modelis the lack of historical failure data and maintenance data (Rodney,

    2001). From the stance of the factory and equipment, this decision-

    making model should make full use of dynamic risk rank indicator,

    PMIS indicator and RAM indicator to evaluate the performance of

    equipment, so that managers can formulate strategies and make

    decisions by collecting, retrieving and analyzing all the informa-

    tion. Measures should be focused more on high-risk equipment to

    make the proactive maintenance task more efcient and effective.

    Equipment failures are often caused by inadequate maintenance

    and inability to predict incipient failure. PMIS can automatically

    diagnose and predict failure and provide a foundation for decision-

    making, such as recommendations for PM, spare parts and main-

    tenance tools. Failure prediction and failure prevention is impor-

    tant to ensure the stable operation of equipment, and thus

    predictive maintenance can boost safety, quality and availability in

    the process industrial plants (Carmen Carnero, 2006).

    3.1. Reliability data and maintenance data for equipment

    Equipment integrity management system has created a program

    that collects reliability data and maintenance data through the

    archive management workow. The probabilistic analysis, failure

    consequence analysis, quantitative risk analysis, failure prediction,

    failure prevention, maintenance task optimization and quantitative

    indicators of performance monitoring heavily depend on reliability

    data and maintenance data, so it will be the foundation of Main-

    tenance Indicator Decision-making management to establish

    standards for collection, recording, saving and exchanging of these

    two types of data. In process industries, reliability data usually

    includes the failure mode, failure cause, failure description, failure

    position, failure consequences (e.g. safety consequence, economic

    consequence, environmental consequences) and failure detection

    method, while maintenance data mainly refers to the time when

    potential failure is detected, when failure starts, when downtime

    begins, when maintenance begins and when maintenance ends.

    Both reliability data and maintenance data are often used in

    probabilistic analysis, RCA, Weibull plot, Monte Carlo simulation,Markov model and so on to perform failure prediction, reliability

    prediction and maintainability prediction.

    As Fig. 4 shows, ti represents operation time, t0i represents

    repair time, andTirepresents breakdown time. Provided that there

    occurs N0 failures during operation and the equipment can

    continue to be used as new one after repair. MTBF, MTTR and MTBO

    can be calculated by Eqs.(1)e(3) respectively.

    MTBF is related to availability, reliability and failure frequency,

    which represents the number of accidents that occurred in a xed

    interval of time. Failure consequence is studied from three aspects

    such as the safety consequence, environmental consequence and

    economic consequences, which is affected by failure consequence,

    while the economic cost is proportional to MTBO.

    3.2. RAM indicators

    Petrochemical, chemical, rening, petroleum and other process

    industrial plants are trying to implement risk-based maintenance

    programs to improve safety, reliability and availability of the plants

    (Warburton et al., 1998). RAM is one of the risk evaluation models

    that are applied in MSI.Whether the implementation and utilization

    of RAM indicator-based maintenance programs can be successful

    heavily depends on the accuracy of the probabilistic models and

    reliability data. Equipment failure mayimpact productivity and gross

    prot (Warburton et al.,1998), which makes engineering solutions to

    expense reduction, reliability enhancement and customer require-

    ment satisfaction very important (Barringer, 2000).

    3.2.1. Reliability indicator

    Reliability, a probabilistic measure of the failure-free operation,

    is the probability of the equipment functioning without failure

    during a given time period under certain conditions (Kumar,

    Klefsjo, & Kunar, 1992), which is often expressed as Eq.(4). It can

    be improved by reducing failure frequency.

    Rt exp

    ti=MTBF

    explti (4)

    where l is a constant dened as the failure frequency.

    Reliability determines whether the output of the plant is as

    expected or whether the business can be protable, so it is of great

    concern in terms of engineering application, and it helps determine

    what andhow much maintenance shouldbe carried out. Equipment

    with a long failure-free period can reduce accessories reserves and

    maintenance cost. High-reliability can increase equipment avail-

    ability while decreasing outrage time, maintenance cost and

    secondary failure loss, and thus contribute huge benet for the

    company. The key indicators which describe reliability include

    MTBF, MTTF, mean life of components, failure frequency, maximum

    number of failures permitted in a specic time-interval and so on.

    3.2.2. Availability indicator

    Availability is dened as the ability of equipment functioning

    well during a denite period or even beyond it. It gives an indica-

    tion of availableworking time during operation (Kumaret al.,1992),

    and can be expressed as in Eq. (5).

    Availability MTBF=MTBF MTTR (5)

    Increasing failure-free time and decreasing downtime can enhance

    availability, which can be converted into reliability and maintain-

    ability requirements in terms of acceptable failure frequency and

    outage hours.

    3.2.3. Maintainability indicator

    Maintainability is theability thatequipment canrestore to normal

    functionin a speciedperiodof time orbeyondit (Kumar et al.,1992).

    It correlates with design and installation quality. Maintainability

    indicator can be usedto evaluate, ascertain and explain maintenance

    programs and requirements. Maintenance project, personnel, orga-

    nization, preparation and procedures all affect maintainability,

    which is often expressed in Eq. (6). Designed maintenance proce-

    dures and maintenance time are the baseline of maintainability, and

    the keygure-of-merit for maintainability is MTTR.

    Mt 1 exp

    t0i=MTTR

    (6)

    The shorter MTTR is, the higher the maintainability will be. Three

    main parameters: repair time (which is the function decided by

    equipment design, and it is related to the training and skill of the

    personnel in charge of maintenance), logistic time (i.e. time for

    supplying parts) and administrative time (a function of operational

    structure of the organization, standard maintenance procedure,

    and maintenance quality assurance document) are concerned with

    downtime.

    High availability, reliability and maintainability and excellent

    performance are characteristics of highly effective management,

    and they are main indicators of lowering safety cost, environmental

    cost and economic cost.

    3.3. Equipment dynamic risk rank indicator

    Theimportance of equipment may be represented by risk rank. In

    general, the risk of equipment in process industry is studied in terms

    of safety risk, environmental risk and economic risk, and it is con-cerned with the failure frequency, failure consequence, risk matrix

    and risk criterion established according to management goals. Safety

    risk rank is determined by safety consequence, failure frequency,

    safety riskcriteria andsafety risk matrices; environmental riskrank is

    determined by environmental consequence, failure frequency, envi-

    ronmental risk criteria and environmental risk matrices; economic

    risk rank is determined by economic consequence, failure frequency,

    economic risk criteria and economic risk matrices. The criteria

    which are related to reliability, availability and maintainability are

    mainly dened by engineers, maintenance staffs, safety authorities.

    Safety risk (Rs) is the product of safety probability of failure

    (PoFs) and safety consequence of failure (CoFs), and it is calculated

    by Eq.(7).

    RS PoFS CoFS (7)

    where PoFs is calculated from the failure frequency and CoFs is

    specied by maintenance data from archive management module.

    Environmental risk (RE) is the product of environmental prob-

    ability of failure (PoFE) and environmental consequence of failure

    (CoFs), and it is calculated by Eq. (8).

    RE PoFE CoFE (8)

    where PoFE is calculated from t failure frequency and CoFE is

    specied by maintenance data from archive management module.

    Economic risk (RC) is the product of economic probability of

    failure mode (PoFC) and economic consequences of failure (CoFC),

    and it is calculated by Eq. (9).

    RC PoFC CoFC (9)

    where PoFC is calculated from failure frequency and CoFC is speci-

    ed by maintenance data from archive management module.

    Economic cost mainly comes from production loss due to outage

    time (Ti) and maintenance cost due to equipment failure (ti).

    Equipment risk rank is dened by the highest risk rank of all risk

    ranks corresponding to failure modes of equipment. Suppose the

    risk rank of theith failure mode isRi, it is derived from Eq.(10).

    Ri MaxRSi; REi; RCi (10)

    Then the risk rankR is derived from Eq.(11).

    R MaxRi; i 1; 2; 3; .; n (11)

    In some cases, risk criteria are certain, so the main inuence

    factors to dynamic risk changes are the failure frequency and failure

    consequences, while failure frequency, also be called failure rate, is

    usually more important. On one hand, the dynamic risk rank

    indicator is an effective way of evaluating the previous risk rank

    and inspection/maintenance task; on the other hand, it lays the

    foundation for managers to revise management objectives and

    establish the next risk evaluation task.

    If the failure mode is identied, the risk is evaluated by

    analyzing failure frequency, failure consequence and failure

    detectability. If the risk is too high, efforts are needed either to

    reduce the frequency and/or consequence, or to increase failure

    detectability in order to make it possible to avoid or at least to

    reduce the severity of the failure.

    management, abnormality management, operation manage-

    ment, archives management, work identication and optimi-

    zation. Inspection/maintenance tasks derived from risk

    management are implemented through professional manage-

    ment, which aims to ensure the operational quality and stan-

    dard of inspection/maintenance management, and it is also

    called the quality assurance workow procedures. Optimized

    maintenance tasks (e.g. preventive tasks, predictive tasks, etc.)

    derived from risk management are re-identied and conrmed

    by maintenance experts. Various maintenance tasks which

    include content, maintenance program, repair les and so on

    are examined, conrmed and optimized by different adminis-

    trative roles in the professional management workow.

    Maintenance tasks are implemented by the PM module in ERP,

    while reliability data and maintenance data are collected and

    saved through PM02 maintenance orders and retrieved

    through the interface between SOA and PM module. After

    veried through archive management workow, the two types

    of data are stored in the archive management module of MSI.

    From maintenance strategies to maintenance orders, risk

    degradation trend line respectively.

    management has been successfully combined with profes-

    sional management.

    (6) Dynamic risk evaluation. Dynamic risk evaluation is based on

    risk rank that is determined by the highest risk rank of

    equipment. Risk rank evaluation is conducted in terms of

    safety, environment and economy, and it is affected by failure

    frequency, failure consequence and risk criterion. If the risk

    criterion is determined, the failure frequency and the failure

    consequence, which are both key performance indicators of

    reliability data, will determine risk rank. These two factors are

    derived from the historical inspection/maintenance database

    in the archive management module, and due to the changes of

    historical maintenance data, risk rank will change accordingly

    with those of failure frequency and failure consequence.

    From RAM and risk analysis, equipment reliability or avail-

    ability which falls short of expectation will be identied and the

    weakness or failure will be eliminated. Equipment with more

    failure frequency, long repair time or high degree of uncertainty

    can be singled out. Maintainability analysis has been used

    to evaluate the design and layout with respect to maintenanceprocedures and maintenance resources. Availability goals can be

    converted into reliability and maintainability requirements by

    means of acceptable failure frequency and outage hours for

    equipment.

    4. Training

    MSI is a newequipment management model, and it involves risk

    management and professional management such as RBI, RCM, SIL,

    key device identication, key device classication, predictive

    maintenance, condition monitoring, abnormality management,

    data collection, data exchange, data storage, archive management,

    lubrication management, operation management, failure identi-

    cation, task optimization and so on. Personnel in charge of equip-

    ment management have accustomed to traditional corrective

    maintenance management culture. On the one hand, they want to

    be able to jump out of the circle ofre-proof management mode,

    and they wish equipment reliability, availability, maintainability

    and safety can be promoted; on the other hand, due to the lack of

    professional management knowledge and skills such as risk

    management, reliability data collection, predictive maintenance,

    probability analysis and reliability prediction, it is very difcult for

    them to accept, master and apply novel equipment management

    models. To make personnel at all levels understand and master MSI

    better, training is very important, and the training content for using

    MSI primarily include as follows:

    (1) (Probabilistic) risk assessment technology, such as RCM, RBI,

    SIL evaluation, Risk-based maintenance, probability analysis,

    RAM statistical analysis and reliability prediction.

    (2) The collection and exchange of reliability and maintenance

    data for equipment technology, which involves data collection,

    data exchange, data storage and archive management.

    (3) Predictive maintenance technology, such as the fault symptom

    signals detection, fault trend analysis & prediction, failure

    diagnosis and so on.

    (4) Intelligent equipment maintenance indicator decision-making

    technology and the inspection/maintenance tasks formulating

    technology.

    (5) Equipment maintenance and safety integrity management

    technology, such as identication and classication of critical

    equipment, inspection and preventive maintenance, abnor-

    mality management and so on.

    International experiences show that the key factors affecting the

    successful transition to a more risk-informed approach include rm

    support from both the manager and the engineers as well as

    education and training for engineers, operators and maintenance

    staffs (Andrew, & Toshihiro, 2007). From the application point of

    view, the transition involves reform in management programs and

    management culture, which need to promote and establish

    equipment management system, management procedures and

    management culture in relation to MSI. The reform involves

    working model and working skills. The popularization and appli-cation of MSI cant be nished at once, but needs continuous and

    industrious improvement. Without the support from top leaders,

    managers at all levels and staffs, the best equipment maintenance

    and safety management decision-making model will fail (Jesus,

    Jose, & Felix, 20 03).

    Fig. 6. Inspection and maintenance task package formulating process, maintenance strategy derives from the intelligent equipment maintenance indicator decision-making model:

    equipment dynamic risk rank indicator (2 M), RAM indicators (4 M), predictive maintenance indicator (5 M).

    5. Applications case

    In this study, MSI is developed in support of Jinzhou Petro-chemical Company, which aims to investigate a kind of mainte-

    nance and safety management model that can help petroleum,

    chemical, petrochemical and gas plants to improve reliability,

    availability and safety for equipment as well as promoting the

    equipment information management level. Using real-time data-

    base, web service and SOA technology, a data framework is devel-

    oped to provide a unied data structure and manemachine

    interface. Meanwhile, this framework is integrated with process

    data, condition monitoring data, historical inspection/maintenance

    data, historical failure data and dynamic risk evaluation data to

    support prediction and comprehensive analysis. As a result,

    personnel at all levels can grasp equipment condition timely and

    accurately in order to make maintenance and safety management

    decision-making more effective and focused.The Jinzhou Petrochemical Company is a traditional rening and

    chemical plant with a history of more than 70 years, breakdown

    maintenance and preventive maintenance account for 67% and 32%

    respectively, and predictive maintenance accounts for no more

    than 1%. CMMS, MES and ERP have all been established and applied

    in the plant, but they are isolated from each other and thus forming

    Information Island due to the lack of unied interface and standard

    reliability and maintenance data for exchange. Due to the lack of

    identication and classication of critical equipment, it is very

    difcult to rational allocation of maintenance resources only based

    on empirical and qualitative approach. There exists some certain

    maintenance deciency, maintenance surplus, high security hidden

    danger and too many accidents. The foremost tricky problem is the

    lack of historical data. Without them, we cant establish a quanti-

    tative risk rank method.

    Firstly, we established MSI system based on SOA as shown in

    Fig. 3, which realized seamless connection in all function modules

    and systems such as the risk evaluation tool, predictive mainte-

    nance module, archive management module, operation manage-

    ment module, lubrication management module, abnormality

    management module, work identication and prioritization

    module, MES and ERP system. An information collection and storage

    system that can provide needed data for analysis is essential.

    Secondly, data collection, data exchange and data storage

    standards of both reliability data and maintenance data are estab-

    lished according to ISO 14224:1999, so are the failure classicationand failure coding standards, making interconnection among all

    function modules possible. Reliability data, maintenance data,

    process data, dynamic monitoring data and archive data may be

    retrieved from ERP, MES and PMIS, and quantitative risk rank

    evaluation is established.

    Thirdly, RAM indicator model, predictive maintenance indicator

    model and equipment dynamic risk ranking indicator model are

    established separately in support of maintenance decision-making.

    After more than 1 years operation, failure modes, failure

    frequency, failure consequence, MTBF and other reliability and

    maintenance data for equipment are stored in the system, and

    these data provide the data source for dynamic quantitative risk

    evaluation and maintenance decision-making. At the same time,

    failure frequency and failure consequences reduced, and mainte-nance resource allocation is optimized.

    Table 1 shows that maintenance management mode and

    resources allocation has experienced a dramatically change after

    exploiting MSI. Risk-based inspection/maintenance is introduced

    and applied in Jinzhou Petrochemical Company. Breakdown

    maintenance resource expense of utilizing MSI compared with

    traditional model has decreased 30%, and the predictive mainte-nance resource cost has increased 32% accounts for 33%.

    Table 2describes the RCM evaluation results, the risk has been

    classied into three rank levels (High, Medium and Low) according

    to the quantitative analysis and calculation of risk evaluation, and

    risk level distribution varies with equipment category. All centrif-

    ugal compressors, steam turbines, ue gas turbines and generators

    are high-risk equipments. And the high-risk equipments propor-

    tion of reciprocating compressors, screw compressors and centrif-

    ugal pumps account for 41.5%, 25% and 2.8% respectively.

    Risk level is determined by equipment failure frequency, failure

    consequence, risk matrix and risk criterion, and the best way to

    lower risk of equipment is to execute inspection/maintenance tasks

    formulated on the basis of risk evaluation. It can be seen from Fig. 7,

    the failure numbers per year for reciprocating compressors,centrifugal compressors, steam turbines, ue gas turbines, gener-

    ators and other high-risk equipments have reduced signicantly.

    Table 3 demonstrates that the utilization MSI has a positive

    effect on improving equipment reliability, availability and utiliza-

    tion compared with traditional maintenance model (unused MSI),

    and this can reduce the safety accidents which result from equip-

    ment failure.

    Predictive maintenance decision-making indicator of MSI plays

    an important role on formulating optimum strategy that antici-

    pates, avoids and eliminates problems and maintenance. Alongwith

    RCM, RBI and SIL evaluation tools, PMISproveseffectively to identify

    and eliminate defects, minimize and avoid failures, minimize

    breakdown maintenance and maximize predictive maintenance.

    6. Conclusions

    This study emphasizes the importance of the integrating risk

    management with professional management, and investigates the

    necessity of applying MSI in process industry, which can guarantee

    the failure-free operation of equipment in Jinzhou Petrochemical

    Company. The application results suggest that the established RAM

    indicator model, predictive maintenance indicator model and

    dynamic risk rank indicator model should be considered in main-

    tenance decision-making and maintenance planning in order to

    increase reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of

    equipment. In order to ensure the efciency and effectiveness of

    inspection/maintenance, some professional management work-

    ow such as lubrication management, abnormality management as

    well as work identication and prioritization have been set up.

    Based on principles of equipment integrity management in process

    industry, MSI has realized PDCA Cycle: the formulation of the

    inspection/maintenance program (Plan), implementation ofinspection/maintenance tasks (Do), performance check (Check)

    and information feedback (Adjustment).

    Maintenance standards, reliability data and maintenance data

    are insufcient or even unavailable, while data exchange standards

    for data collection and data exchange are not unied. Many

    equipment management systems such as ERP, CMMS, EAM and

    MES are isolated from each other, thus forming Information Island.

    Enterprise management usually lacks comprehensive skills in

    terms of risk management, probabilistic analysis, predictive main-

    tenance and so on, and this hinders the successful application of

    MSI. Engineering practice shows that support from the manage-

    ment, improvement of equipment integrity management system,

    promotion of management procedure as well as sustained training

    and education are critical to the successful application of MSI. Thepilot application of this system in Jinzhou Petrochemical Company

    shows that MSI can be built on the basis of traditional equipment

    management model and risk evaluation together. RAM indicator

    model, predictive maintenance indicator model and dynamic risk

    rank indicator model are established to support maintenance

    decision-making, which is actually benecial to the improvement

    of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of equipment,

    and it can help optimize the maintenance resource scheme.
