Future asset scoring

You can use the matrix to gain insights into the future performance of your assets by viewing their health, risk, end of life, criticality scores, and custom scores.

On the Matrix page, you can configure a matrix to visualize custom scores, view the future matrix, and drill down on high risk assets, conduct what-if analysis, and review asset investment optimization strategies. For more information, see Forecasting scores by using the matrix.

Creating custom scores

You can create custom scores that reflect performance and condition indicators that are tailored to your company's needs.

On the Scoring and DGA settings page, you can create a custom score type and use rages to configure the possible meanings, colors, icons, and values for each score type. For more information, see Creating custom scores.

Using custom scores

In Health and Predict - Utilities, on the Assets page, you can use the custom scores of your assets in a table, on a map, in charts, or in a matrix. For more information, see Using custom scores.

Sorting asset scores

In the Asset table, you can find assets by sorting them based on their score type, such as health, criticality, risk, cost, age, effective age, and normalized custom scores. You can prioritize assets that are in most need of maintenance and develop a plan to prevent disruption of services.
