Equipment Criticality Analysis (ECA)

Equipment Critical Analysis (ECA) is a significant analysis of equipment defects, usually conducted to rank them in the order of severe consequences on safety, environment, production loss and maintenance cost.

At Velosi, we follow the three critical steps for performing ECA, including selecting the risk matrix, assembling the equipment hierarchy and assessing failure risks.

Benefits of ECA:

• Provides the means to perceive high-criticality vs. low-criticality equipment.
• Decreases the level of uncertainty.
• Focuses on high-priority maintenance tasks.
• Helps choose the finest economic maintenance strategy.
• Organizes work orders.
• Makes decisions on insurance and the demand for spare parts.
