FCM Workflow

FCM Workflow Summary

The basic workflow in FCM follows the following steps:

1. Inherit hierarchy (Functional Locations (FLOCs) and Equipment) from IMS PEI (or IMS RCM).

2. Create Flange Connections to Equipment with Flange-FLOCs. Flange FLOCs are Level 5 FLOCs.

3. Create Flange and Clamp (Grayloc) Equipment containing:

   • Tightening data and recommended specification.

   • Flange integrity calculations.

   • Schedule.

4. Create Jobs, which can include Flanges and/or Clamps.

5. Record your activities in Equipment Condition Histories (ECH).
