MD 185 Are We Overcomplicating Asset Criticality? With Paul Daoust from SCIO Asset Management

Are we doing a disservice when talking about asset criticality to include anything other than the consequence? In this week’s podcast, we welcome Paul Daoust from SCIO Asset Management to discuss how we always use asset criticality with another variable, and because of this, the use of likelihood of failure in the asset criticality process could be added work for very little value.
