Before you can start the RBI 581 Analysis you need to set up your hierarchy and define your Corrosion Loop - this is exactly the same as required for doing an S-RBI Analysis as well. After the RBI 581 Analysis you continue with the same process as described in the S-RBI degradation management workflow. For more information on this see:
Next you to the RBI 581 Analysis - see the steps here below
Lastly you need to review your RBI Analysis and IOWs, similar to Step 15 Review S-RBI Analysis and IOW

Step 3: Set up once per site, plant unit: Management Systems Factor (FMS), Risk calculation method (Risk Matrix / ISO Risk Plot), Criticality Target(s).
Step 4: Start the Analysis by assigning the DMs to the Component
Step 5 & 6: Calculate the Probability of Failure by entering the inspection history (past inspections and their effectiveness) and component data: thickness, corrosion rate, stresses, design data.
Step 7: Calculate the Consequence of Failure by entering Fluid Detail, Financial, Mitigation and Specifications, Inventory Group Mass, No. Of Toxic Components.
Step 8: Set the Legal or Local Inspection Interval on the Risk tab per analysis and click Calculate in the Results Pane. IMS plots the Risk = PoF x CoF on the Risk Matrix / ISO Risk Plot and iterates the Age until the Criticality Target is exceeded. Review the risk tables and plots.
Step 9 & 10: Review the results (Maximum Inspection Interval and Next Inspection Date) on the On the Result Pane and Approve.
Step 11: Select the Next Inspection Effectiveness and a Task.
Step 12: Implement the results by assigning the work scope to a Schedule.
