Risk Categories

Use Risk categories to categorize your equipment by the risk factors that contribute to how often a PM should be performed.  You can set up these values such that when certain criteria are selected, the resulting risk factor value is increased or decreased, which may also affect how frequently a PM needs to be done.  You can customize the labels for each risk type and category within that type.

1.   Select a Category from the valid entry list and the screen refreshes. 

NOTE: The first five listed are biomedical related; the second five listed are facility related; the last one listed is Life Safety.

2.   Enter a Description for a level of Risk for the selected Equipment Category.

3.   Enter a Point value for the Risk Level.  This number is used with points from the other categories to calculate the Inclusion (Risk) Factor.  This number can be used by AIMS to automatically determine the frequency that PMs should be performed.

4.   Click Add to add the selection to the list for the selected category.

5.   When entries are completed for each category, click on OK to return to the System Defaults Tab.
