SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATED MISSION CRITICAL ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT

摘要

The present approach provides methods and processes for comprehensive management of the Mission Critical Ecosystem. Mission critical information management includes information from an entity's facilities, especially the critical facilities. The methods and processes disclosed herein allow for assessing and managing dependencies between assets, which may provide valuable insight into, for example, risk relationships for planned and unplanned events, and mitigation planning and management for incidents.

1. A computer-implemented method for assessing and managing dependencies between assets, the method comprising:
defining, in a database, a plurality of assets, each asset having an operation; defining, in a database and for assets in the plurality of assets, upstream assets having at least one upstream asset dependency, an upstream asset dependency comprising an upstream asset having an operation that has a potential impact on the operation of an asset; defining, in a database and for assets in the plurality of assets, downstream assets having at least one downstream asset dependency, a downstream asset dependency comprising a downstream asset that has an operation that may be impacted by the operation of an asset; receiving an indication of an event, the event having a potential to change the operation of at least a first asset in the plurality of assets; causing at least one processor to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device to identify a first category of assets for the event, a first category asset comprising a downstream asset having a downstream asset dependency on the first asset; causing at least one processor to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device to determine redundant assets for the first category assets, a redundant asset comprising at least one of an asset upstream of a first category asset that provides the same operation to the first category asset as the first asset, an asset that provides the same operation as the first category asset, and an asset that provides the same operation as the first asset; causing at least one processor to execute instructions stored in at least one memory device to identify a second category of assets, a second category asset comprising a first category asset having less redundant assets than a first predetermined threshold for the asset.
