EQUIPMENT CRITICALITY

1 PURPOSE

The purpose of this Work Quality Requirement is to outline the methodology for determining Equipment
Criticality for all maintainable items managed in the SAP A2D Process.

2 SCOPE

These work quality requirements (WQR) applies to all Operational Sites that manage plant and equipment in
SAP following the A2D process. To focus due attention on plant and equipment which can have a significant
impact on MMG’s Operations, equipment criticality must be assessed to identify Critical Equipment and to
determine the required controls or strategies and spares.

3 EQUIPMENT CRITICALITY

All maintainable items will be identified in SAP and will have their equipment criticality assessed based on their
maximum foreseeable loss assuming no effective controls are in place as per MMG’s Risk Management
Procedure.

Equipment Criticality will be primarily determined based on the Direct and/or Consequential Financial Loss or
equivalent Planned Production Throughput Loss. Where a Safety and People, Environment, or Legal
Compliance consequences material risk exists, whilst this will be managed in the site risk register and managed
in GRC, it will not result in the parent level equipment being deemed critical but can result in the component
level FLOC being rated as critical only.

The resulting criticality assessment will be recorded against each maintainable item, maintainable unit, and
production unit (where applicable) using the ABC indicator in SAP.

APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY

The terms and/or abbreviations below have been defined to ensure that all users of this document have a common
understanding of the key terms and abbreviations referenced. An MMG-wide glossary can be found in the MMG
Document Framework Glossary.

Term Definition
In the context of the Asset Management standard, assets are MMG’s fixed plant
Asset and mobile equipment, including associated infrastructure, which are owned and
operated by MMG. Otherwise referred generally as Plant and Equipment.
Predictive and Preventative Maintenance activities defined by Reliability Centred
Maintenance (RCM) / Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
Asset Strategies methodology or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements that are
needed to achieve the required asset performance at the lowest total life cycle
cost and are critical to the asset’s function, cost, risk and compliance.
Equipment where the maximum foreseeable loss due to failure with no controls
Critical Equipment
in place can result in a Material Risk.
Risks having:
 Potential Exposure/Maximum Foreseeable Loss (MFL) is  Level 5 on
Material Risk MMG’s Consequence Criteria; or
 Risk Level of Very High.
Material risks are described in terms of events.
MMG employees, officers, contractors (including contractors’ subcontractors and
MMG People
their respective employees) and agents.
