Abstract
This disclosure provides systems for using failure mode ranking in an asset management system to generate asset maintenance outputs. Operational data, failure mode models, and configuration data for an asset, such as a complex electromechanical system, are related to failure prevention analytics configurations through failure mode rankings to enable the asset management system to reduce a future ranking of potential failure modes by changing the present configuration of the asset to include a recommended failure prevention analytics configuration.
