D. Equipment Capacity Utilization: 5.2 Equipment Criticality Scoring Guidelines

This document provides guidelines for assessing the criticality of equipment based on criteria scores. It defines equipment reliability and capacity utilization as criteria that are to be scored according to the guidelines in Section 5.2. Section 5.2 then introduces a weighted scoring system from 0 to 4 to rank the criteria, with lower scores indicating more serious outcomes and higher scores less serious outcomes for a given piece of equipment.

Next Planned Update: TBD Equipment Criticality Assessment

Equipment Reliability shall be defined and ranked according the Criteria


Scoring Guidelines defined in Section 5.2 (Equipment Criticality Scoring
Guidelines).

d. Equipment Capacity Utilization

This criterion corresponds to the ratio of utilization of the available


equipment capacity over a certain period of time. It is the ratio of average
production rate to design rate or nominal throughput; it corresponds to the
load factor of the equipment (Used vs. Design capacity).

Equipment Capacity Utilization shall be defined and ranked according the


Criteria Scoring Guidelines defined in Section 5.2 (Equipment Criticality
Scoring guidelines).
Note: In certain applications, equipment capacity utilization may correspond to
the ratio of utilization time versus the available time over a certain period
of time. The end-user needs to figure out which one best fit while
performing the ECA.

5.2 Equipment Criticality Scoring Guidelines

A criteria assessment using a weighted scoring method is used to rank ECA


criteria. Scoring guidelines tables were developed to apply consistent
application of scoring to the criticality criteria. Although not covering every
possible description of a criterion outcome, the guidelines tables are intended to
maintain a consistent scoring across Saudi Aramco plants and facilities.

A system of weighted numerical scoring from 0 to 4 is used to indicate the


degree of impact that each criteria had on the perceived criticality of each
equipment. Low scores indicate very serious outcome within the criterion,
while high scores indicate less serious outcome. A score weighting of 0
indicated the highest importance of the criterion to the ranking, while a score of
4 represented the lowest. The scoring guidelines for different criteria are as
summarized by the tables below.
