RCM Queries - Background

When do you use a Query in RCM?

(1) For data that is not - or hard - to reach directly in the IMS tool, for example:

• PLE’s: created, assigned and used.
• Functions and Functional Failures on Systems.
• Criticalities, Residual Risks, Approved analyses.

(2) For repetitive - consistent - quick data extraction:

• Incomplete data or missing elements.
• To track progress of RCM analyses or RSL application done.
• To scope of work done or work remaining.
• To do RCM data Quality checks.

(3) As data source for Dashboards:

• To check particular data daily when users logon.
