13、ixA References 11iiiFOREWORDReliable plants meet owner expectations. Understanding these is the first step in designing forreliability. Based on expectations, a plan needs to be developed that achieves goals efficiently,subject to hardware/software constraints, and operating configurations and budge

14、ts. This planis the basis of a design that will deliver the most consistent production possible.Effective reliability plans must prevent functional failures that affect power plant performance,even though equipment itself fails. For this reason, most power plants are designed to toleratefailures of

15、certain components. However, the design must also address ease of maintenance. Itmust ensure short downtimes when failures do occur, as well as when planning outage work.Maintaining reliable production requires a strategy supporting equipment monitoring, mainte-nance, and replacement. Successful mai

16、ntenance strategies complement the plant design itself.Clear, actionable guidance based upon established strategies should provide effective tools tomanage risk.

23、RRESPONDENCE WITH THE RAM COMMITTEEGeneral. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent theconsensus ofconcerned interests. Assuch, users ofthis Standard mayinteract with theCommitteeby requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Co

24、rre-spondence should be addressed to:Secretary, RAM Standards CommitteeThe American Society of Mechanical EngineersTwo Park AvenueNew York, NY 10016-5990http:/go.asme.org/InquiryProposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changesthatappearnecessaryor desirable

25、,asdemonstratedbytheexperience gainedfromtheapplicationof the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should beas specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a deta

26、ileddescription of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules whenjustified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or toprovide rules not covered by

27、 existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately uponASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Needand Background Information. The requestshould identify the Standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written

28、 as aQuestion and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicatethe applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.Interpretations. Uponrequest,theRAMCommitteewillrenderaninterpretationofanyrequire-ment of the Standard. Interpretations c

29、an only be rendered in response to a written request sentto the Secretary of the RAM Standards Committee.The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommendedthat the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph nu

41、 life5 RAM PROCESSThis process provides a procedure to develop andimplement a program that is a written, defined, verifi-able, and living document that will enable the owner tomeet his/her performance goals. The steps in the RAMprocess are given in paras. 5.1 through 5.4 (see Fig. 5-1).5.1 Predevelo

42、pmentThe owner shall establish needs by defining requiredcriteria that shall serve to develop objective require-ments, goals, validation parameters, and acceptancecriteria.5.2 Program DevelopmentThe owner shall select a project delivery method,designer, and constructor to build the power plant tothe

43、 designed program criteria described in para. 5.1.5.3 Program ImplementationThe owner shall periodically review the program per-formance of the plant to determine if the plant is achiev-ing the objectives and goals described in para. 5.1.5.4 Program RevisionThe owner shall modify the program describ

44、ed inparas. 5.2 and 5.3 to achieve the goals described inpara. 5.1 or with new criteria that the owner establishes.Any owner-established criteria shall at least meet, orexceed, the criteria outlined in this Standard.6 RAM DESCRIPTIONThefollowing describesthesteps inthe RAMprocess.6.1 Predevelopment

45、Phase (See Fig. 6.1-1)The owner shall define the top-level functionalrequirements for the plant. The output of the predevel-opment phase is the BOD document, which will be usedASME RAM-12013for the RAM program development. The BOD shallinclude the following:(a) requirements for the implementation of

46、 theprogram(b) basic plant description(c) lifespan of plant and life-extension method(d) functional requirements(e) availability requirements(f) reliability requirements(g) maintainability requirements(h) performance objectives and goals6.2 Program Development (See Fig. 6.2-1)The program design form

47、alizes a plan to achieve theobjectives and goals as detailed in the BOD. The definedinformation within the RAM program becomes the fun-damental foundation for all plant operations and main-tenance efforts. Program development includes theelements detailed in paras. 6.2.1 through 6.2.6.6.2.1 Program

48、Statement. A high-level manage-ment statement shall define the requirements for theRAM program and provide the organization directionto implement the RAM program.6.2.2 Program Goals. Theprogramgoalsareusedtoestablish measurement criteria to validate requirements.The criteria shall be set in the area

49、s of(a) safety(b) reliability(c) availability(d) maintainability6.2.3 Program Organization. An organizationalstructure shall be designed and established to accom-plish the goals of the RAM program. The organizationshall provide accountability for achieving the objectivesand goals. Functionally, these responsibilities includethe following individuals:(a) Owner. The owner provides requirements to theengineerpertainingtopreferencesandconstraintsofthedesign, and provides oversight to the program duringimplementation.(b) Program Manager.
