Inspection Planning 7: Viewing and Modifying an Inspection Programme

Users can view or modify an inspection programme either by first managing an existing programme or developing a brand new one.

Select a particular maintaining area / programme type combination to begin viewing/modifying the programme.



At the top are a set of programme type tabs. If you need to switch to another programme type tab, just click the corresponding tab.



Below this are the programme details including the final programme check box. If another programme is being used as part of the final programme for the maintaining area in a particular programme year then the Final Programme check box will be greyed out and a explanatory message will display.

If a programme has not yet been picked for the final for that area/programme year then users can check the box and click the Save button to set the programme. This inspection programme will now be added to the final inspection programme and will become viewable on the RBI Administration page. 



Below this is the inspection programme itself with a row for each structure. Filters are provided to help with locating structures of interest. Users can combine dropdown selections and text inputs then click the Filter button to narrow their results.



A 30-year programme is shown below this, with a column for each programme year. The programme includes PI's and GI's automatically scheduled according to the programme type.

Unsmoothed - PI's and GI's are scheduled with their intervals based upon the proposed PI interval calculated using the evaluated risk score.
Smoothed - PI's and GI's are scheduled based upon their risk scores then adjusted to level spend across the 30 year programme.
Altered - Altered starts with a smoothed programme, but allows the user to move/add inspections.
Time Based - Creates a programme purely based on the last inspection dates and uses a standard 2year GI and 6 year PI interval.

Colour-coded cells denote the risk rating for the scheduled PI in that programme year. There is no colour coding applied to the General Inspections (GI's)



Users can mouse-over a PI cell to see the risk score associated with a particular PI.
A key is available for the colour coded risk rating above the programme grid.



If there is no data available for the last principal inspection (PI) date but a last General Inspection (GI) date is available, then a risk score can still be generated. A PI will be scheduled for the first year of the programme.

Cost and Risk Profiles
Each Inspection Programme has an associated Cost and Risk Profile. These can be viewed by clicking the relevant tabs next to the programme type tabs

The Cost Profile shows inspection cost spend over the 30 year programme as a line graph. Programme types are colour coded.

The Risk Profile graph shows counts of structures within different risk score bands. Again the different programme types are displayed and colour coded.
