Degradation Management is a continuous work process. The figure below depicts this process in IMS.
The continues Degradation Management Work Process as implemented in IMS.
The S-RBI Analysis or RBI 581 Analysis is implemented on the Component level, per Degradation Mechanism (DM). Components are the separate parts of an Equipment that have the Barriers against the Threats of the DMs. Thus, they need verification through inspection. The implementation of this work process in IMS, including the S-RBI steps, is further outlined in the Degradation Management using S-RBI. For the RBI 581 work process see Degradation Management using RBI 581.
