RBI 581 Approval and Tasks

The Degradation Management section in the RBI 581 Details Page includes an Approval and Effectiveness tab. This can be used for managing Approvals, Inspection Effectiveness, and Tasks.

There are four sections that appear based on the your progress.

• Progress Tracker: This tracks three steps:

  • Approve Assessment

  • Next Inspection Effectiveness

  • Choose From Suggested Tasks

• Approval Section: When you finalizes the assessment approval here, the first step in the progress tracker turns blue, allowing you to proceed to the next step.

• Next Inspection Effectiveness: After final approval, you can select the ext inspection effectiveness. Once selected, the second step in the progress tracker turns blue, revealing the final step.

• Choose From Suggested / Additional Tasks: Based on the chosen inspection effectiveness, the user sees two or more tasks and must select one. After selecting a task, all three steps in the progress tracker turn blue, and the fourth section appears.

• Tasks to be performed: This final section appears in the bottom of the tab and provides additional information about the chosen task and is read-only.

Approving the RBI 581 assessment

When the RBI 581 assessment is Final Approved the CoF and PoF forms become read-only.

Controlled Schedule Updates for Approved Assessments

RBI 581 assessments do not immediately impact Schedules. If an assessment is Final Approved, you can add it to a Schedule. However, if you later change the RBI 581 assessment back to Draft to make updates that affect the NID and MII, these changes will not modify the Schedule because the assessment is no longer Approved. Only after you Final Approve the assessment will IMS provide the option to update the Schedule with the new data.

To learn more about Approval see: IMS Approvals.

Task Cards

After choosing the next Inspection Effectiveness, and selecting a Task, a new card section appears below the "Calculate" button in the result pane.

This card displays the task name, followed by the next inspection effectiveness in brackets, and the task description (if available).

On the right side of the card, a blue button initially appears, allowing you to add the RBI 581 assessment to a Schedule. Once added, the button turns green, and clicking it directs you to the selected Schedule. If the assessment is reverted to draft, changes are made (e.g., PoF calculation), and the risk changes, Final Approving the assessment again will cause a mismatch between the assessment and Schedule values. As a result, the green button changes to yellow with the label "Consider Update." Clicking this yellow button will update the Schedule with the new assessment values.

Below the task name, description, and action button, additional information is shown about the interval (in months) and the calculated NID. When a Schedule is present, an info button appears next to these fields, showing the Schedule interval and NID when clicked. If no Schedule is in place, these buttons are not displayed.
