Learn more about RAM ( Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) Analysis from ORS Industry Experts. SERVICES Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) Analysis Objective of RAM Analysis Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) are system design attributes that can have a substantial impact on the lifecycle cost and performance of an engineered system. The purpose of RAM Analysis is to ensure high production performance while maintaining high safety and quality level in any given industrial operation. The objective of the RAM analysis is to provide decision support towards i.e.: Predicted production performance and project economics; Key production loss contributors; Maintenance strategy and spare part philosophy; Alternative technical or operational solutions (sensitivity studies); Main uncertainties related to production performance; Recommendations for improved production performance. Methodology for RAM Studies At its core, RAM studies entail representing a complex reality with a simplified model allowing for various types of analyses. Such a model can be used to predict performance and manage uncertainties. Results from the analyses should be used to give sound and unbiased decision support, as well as identify bottlenecks and main contributors to reduced performance and/or increased risk. 1.Establish Study Basis Identification of key assumptions and associated degrees of uncertainty is considered vital in order to effectively produce as realistic and accurate results as possible, and for giving input to sensitivity analyses that might be necessary to cater for uncertainties. The key assumptions will be documented in the RAM model study basis. Assumptions are typically categorized in technical, operational and analytical assumptions. Close cooperation with different disciplines in the project is necessary to ensure an understanding of the process and operation that results in a robust and realistic basis for the RAM model. Because of this, it is proposed to arrange for a work meeting or similar with relevant disciplines when establishing the RAM model study basis. 2.Required Input A good understanding of the system to be analyzed is important for the RAM analysis to obtain as accurate results as possible. Typical client input for RAM analyses include: System description; System schematics; P&IDs; Operational Philosophy. In addition to the above, one of the main premises for performing a successful RAM analysis is the use of appropriate reliability data. Application of data from literature and databases should always be thoroughly evaluated, to validate their relevance for the context in question. Reliability data sources include client experience data, OREDA and the PDS handbook. ORS has access to a wide range of reliability data sources. A Failure Mode, Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) if available is also a good input for the RAM analysis, especially for complex systems to give an accurate basis for system modelling. 3.Establish RAM Model and Run Simulations The RAM model study basis is used to establish the RAM model, typically represented by reliability block diagrams (RBDs). The Monte Carlo method is normally used for the RAM model simulations to produce uncertainty ranges and confidence levels for the estimates. ORS uses the software Miriam RAM Studio for this purpose. 4.Analyze the Results The results from the simulation are analyzed and reported depending on the objective of the RAM study in the best way to create value to the client, ,with some examples shown below.

Learn more about what is Environmental Risk Assessment (ENVID) and why to perform it, from ORS Consulting Experts. SERVICES Environmental Risk Assessment (ENVID) What is ENVID? Environmental Impact Identification (ENVID) is a structured examination of environmental aspects for a facility for early identification of environmental concerns that may affect environment. The outcome of an ENVID is used to optimize the design and operational philosophy to minimize environmental impact. An ENVID is typically performed as a multi-discipline workshop. Why perform an ENVID? ENVID study is performed to; Identify acute or continuous sources of emission, discharge and waste for an asset or activity; Identify mitigating measures included in design to minimize environmental impact; Propose further mitigating measures to prevent, reduce or control identified sources of emission, discharge and waste; ENVID Study Methodology The ENVID study is carried out as a multidisciplinary workshop with participants from relevant disciplines and operational personnel. The workshop comprises of discussion of environmental hazards consequences, and typically including a coarse risk assessment for each hazard raised, practice and procedures and barrier elements (the corresponding control and mitigation measures). The ENVID review follows a methodology analogous to a Hazard Identification (HAZID) . The ENVID applies a set of guidewords suitable for identification of hazards and sources of emission, discharge and waste. Some examples of ENVID parameters and guidewords: Contact ORS Consulti ng to identify the potential environmental risks associated with your project.

Navigating the complexity of regulatory compliance requires both experience and a specific skillset in safety management. SERVICES Safety and Compliance Up Anchor 1 Safety Management a fundamental activity for all projects and asset operations. Regardless of industries, a project needs to fulfil technical risk related requirements from local and regional authorities, international standards and end clients. Navigating the complexity of regulatory compliance requires both experience and a specific skillset in safety management. ORS frequently supports projects, from early concept to, and including, operational phase with safety management. This includes activities such as: Establish the regulatory framework that defines all relevant legal and contractual requirements; Prepare a HSE road map for a project or throughout asset lifecycles; Follow-up and manage technical risk management activities. This includes liaison with various stakeholders and contractors, follow-up of third-party studies, ensuring involvement from all relevant disciplines, and ensuring continuity in the risk management activities. Safety and Compliance Related Studies Project Risk Assessment Project risk assessment is a hands-on application of risk management to ensure that a project is meeting its targets in terms of cost, schedule and HSE. It includes identification of project risks, continuous monitoring and adjustments, as well as identification of measures to control the risk. Project risk assessment allows businesses to make the best choice from the available options needed to achieve a project’s objective. Risk-based interface management Risk-based interface management involves defining, controlling, and communicating information needed to make unrelated services, processes, or equipment co-function. Risk-based interface management assesses and mitigates the possible risks when working with contractors, subcontractors, and clients. Operational Readiness Review An Operational Readiness Review (ORR) is a thorough, proof-based appraisal of the project state before entering operation. ORRs are undertaken to ensure that all activities during engineering process are completed, all critical systems been tested and validated and confirm correct handover to operations. The ORR is a final validation to ensure a safe transition to operational phase for project deliverables. Cybersecurity risk assessment Cybersecurity Risk Assessment serves as a pivotal section of the modern company. Modern companies tend to create operations on a technological platform and, as such, are exposed to the risk of hackers and loss of data. Cybersecurity risk assessment is performed to expose an organization’s vulnerabilities to such attacks and provide solutions. Regulatory Compliance In all industries, all businesses needs to comply with regulations from local and regional authorities, industry standards and requirements from end clients within the area of safety and HSEQ. Regulatory compliance is a continuous activity ensuring that relevant requirements are identified, and that the correct decisions are made to avoid delays, business interruptions or accelerated costs. HSE Road Map The HSE Road Map is an activity and document prepared in the initial phase of a project to ensure that the regulatory requirements are identified and that the technical risk management activities are planned to ensure efficient project execution and compliance with HSE-related requirements. Safety Strategy The Safety Strategy is a cornerstone of safety design in a project, and is comparable with a technical design basis of a project. The safety strategy links hazard identification, risk analyses, safety studies, and the technical safety design, demonstrating that adequate safety barriers are in place.

ORS Consulting provides leading third-party integrity management solutions, including barrier strategy development, bow-tie analysis, risk-based maintenance, and Integrated Design Review (IDR). SERVICES Barrier Management Up Anchor 1 Barrier management is a framework for the identification of major accident risks and continuous risk management throughout a complete asset lifecycle. Integrity management ensures that systems, operational procedures, and organizations perform their function effectively and efficiently to avoid incidents and accidents. Integrity management comprises a variety of risk assessments, including barrier management, integrated design reviews, risk-based maintenance, and obsolescence management. ORS Consulting is a leading third-party integrity management solutions provider. We are helping businesses and facilities perform barrier strategy development, bow-tie analysis, risk-based maintenance and Integrated Design Review (IDR), amongst others. Barrier Management Related Studies Barrier Strategy Development Barrier strategy development involves establishing a strategy for how a project or asset operation will manage the accident risk, and to ensure that barriers are designed and maintained to ensure an acceptable risk level. Bow-tie Analysis Bow tie diagrams are powerful tools for managing major accident hazards and communication of key risk drivers. It typically involves creating a bow-tie diagram, which illustrates the chain of causes and consequences related to a hazard, and its barriers and mitigating measures. Performance Standards Performance standards are requirement specifications established for barrier functions or elements, as input for design and operation of a system. Among others, performance standards can give requirements related to reliability, maintenance and operability. Risk-based Maintenance Risk-based maintenance (RBM) is a maintenance strategy that prioritizes risk-sensitive systems and machinery, applicable for all industries. An RBM helps businesses to plan maintenance processes based on the probability of failure, possible effects (consequences), and calculated costs. Barrier Management System Implementation Barrier management system implementation involves establishing and maintaining barriers in a facility so that risks can be managed and operational excellence can be achieved. It involves establishing place technical, operational and organizational barriers against major accidents or incidents, and ensure that the barriers are maintained throughout the asset lifecycle. Optimization of Test Intervals The probability of failure of machinery or safety critical systems largely depends on the frequency of testing or preventive maintenance. Optimization of test intervals involves determining the optimum maintenance or test tasks that ensures high reliability, and at the same time minimizing downtime. Optimization of test intervals is typically performed in conjunction with performance monitoring of Safety Instrumented Systems. Obsolescence Management Obsolescence describes a situation in which a part, equipment, or service is no longer available even when it is still needed. Obsolescence management helps organizations to forecast, monitor, and plan when they are at risk of having obsolete parts, service, or equipment. It helps to reduce the risks associated with obsolescence. Root Cause Analysis Root cause describes a factor that caused a non-conformance in a system, component, or organization. A root cause analysis (RCA) is a problem-solving process that is used to identify these factors and provide approaches to preventing them. It may also provide means of responding to them. Integrated Design Reviews (IDR) Integrated Design Review (IDR) is a method used to scrutinize project interface, and is efficient for projects and assets with multiple stakeholders. This methodology focuses on the functionality of an integrated facility, and it aims to mitigate risks and ensure safe and efficient operations in these facilities. Risk-based Inspection (RBI) Risk-based inspection (RBI) involves quantitative and qualitative assessment of the probability of failure, possible consequences, and costs associated with systems and machinery. The information obtained from this assessment help business to determine design flaws and potential damages, as well as the location of possible dangers resulting from failures.
