Patent Images
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium for implementing a method of monitoring corrective measures within a process plant comprising:
- receiving equipment data pertaining to the status of equipment within the process plant;
receiving corrective measure data pertaining to the status of a corrective measure associated with the equipment, wherein a corrective measure comprises a plurality of stages of execution and the status of the corrective measure pertains to the stage of execution of the corrective measure;
receiving criticality data pertaining to the importance of the equipment within the process plant, wherein the criticality data comprises a quantification of a failure defense planning evaluation of the importance of the entity as the entity affects other entities and/or operations within the process plant; and
using the criticality data with the equipment data and the corrective measure data to perform a further function pertaining to the corrective measure associated with the equipment.
