AFRY Criti is a customizable tool for efficient prioritization of critical equipment. It supports various classification tools, such as PSK 6800 standard based criticality classifications, process safety criticality classification, Hazard and operability study (HAZOP), and Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA). AFRY Criti provides an optimized user interface for facilitating criticality classification workshops time-efficiently. The flexible tool is always customized to fit perfectly into the specific environment and to comply with strategy and needs.

The criticality classification helps you to:

• Create a maintenance action plan.
• Guide maintenance actions (e.g. work prioritization).
• Assess requirements for equipment during the design phase (e.g. identify critical component and spare parts).
• Identify equipment critical for process safety, as required by Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes).
• Focus on equipment that require more detailed analyses.

Key benefits of using AFRY Criti include:

• Efficient Workshops: The user interface is optimized for criticality classification workshops, offering clear views and efficient editing.
• Shared Database: Store criticality classification information in a database with change tracking and customizable access rights.
• Informative Dashboards: Easily compare criticality classifications using clear and visually informative dashboards.
• External Interfaces: AFRY Criti supports integration with external systems, enabling notifications when updates are required.
• Rich Content: Enhance criticality classifications by including PI diagrams, images, manuals, links, and other relevant information.

AFRY Criti – Applications

The AFRY Criti tool offers various criticality classification applications:

• Equipment Criticality Classification is the most efficient method for prioritizing equipment based on their criticality, providing vital information for maintenance optimization.
• Spare Part Criticality Classification extends the analysis to optimize spare part policies.
• Process Safety Criticality Classification can be made separately or included in other criticality classifications. The Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) requires the identification of equipment critical for process safety.
• Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) can be used as a source data for criticality classifications. The AFRY Criti tool minimizes manual work by supporting HAZOP analyses and sharing information between separate analyses.
• Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) / Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a tool to plan and compare potential improvements to the maintenance of the equipment identified as critical in other analyses. AFRY Criti supports FMECA/FMEA analyses, reducing manual work when sharing information between separate analyses.

These analyses are made in workshops that collect and combine the knowledge of system specialists. Equipment lists and piping and instrumentation (PI) diagrams are used to select relevant equipment for analysis. Criticality classification needs to be updated after significant changes, such as investments, major repairs or maintenance optimizations.
