Defining the Management Score

Each project must include a Management Systems Evaluation score, which is made up of 13 different types of questions and is used in the RBI evaluation results. There are a total of 101 questions with a maximum of 1,000 points. The questions pertain to the areas of plant management, operations, maintenance, safety, inspection, training and engineering. Typically, this is done by auditors who are qualified to answer the specific questions.

To open the Management Systems Score window, choose System Hierarchy > Risk Based Inspection > Management Score.

In the Management Score Options area, choose one of the following options:

• If you already know what the score is, such as from a recent inspection, choose Enter score from 0 to 1000 without answering questions and enter a value in the Score field.

• If you decide not to or cannot conduct an audit, choose Assume average score of 500. In this case the Score field value is automatically set to 500.

• If you are ready to perform the audit, choose Answer questionnaire and calculate score, then do the following:

• • Select any row in the Categories area on the left. The Questions area on the right then displays the applicable questions.

  • The Possible Score column shows the maximum value (i.e., best case scenario) for each question while the Actual Score column allows you to select the applicable score from the drop-down lists.

  • If desired, you can use the Comments column to record any additional information that is relevant to your rating for the question (up to 255 characters). You can type directly in this field or click anywhere in the field to display the Select Existing icon. This icon opens the Select Existing Text window that allows you to choose comments used in other data sources.

The Score field at the top of the window displays the sum of all the individual question scores.
