PRCI FIMP Guidelines
PRCI Elements for a FIMP
The PRCI FIMP guideline (IM-2-1) uses 10 elements to outline a FIMP program. The following are examples of FIMP resources that align with each of the PRCI elements. A FIMP resource can be any process or product utilized within a FIMP program which complements the associated PRCI element. Please see the PRCI IM-2-1 guidance for a more through description of each element.
1. Gathering, reviewing, and integrating data
- Asset register or computerized maintenance management system
- Construction, commissioning, operating, maintenance, inspection and repair records
- GIS/SAP and other repositories of facility data
- Station or facility specific drawings
- See table 27 in CEPA FIMP RP
- TIMP, DIMP and other risk models
- Health and condition assessments
- Data (health) assessments
- KPIs and metrics important at enterprise and asset level
- Asset management plans (AMPs)
2. Identifying threats, operational hazards, and potential consequences
- Horizon scanning for new or emerging risks
- Horizon scanning for regulation changes
