Critical safety issues An MP4 assessment helps you to identify critical safety issues such as: • Incorrect breaking capacity• Absence of interlocking devices • Insufficient personnel protection • Unprotected access to live parts

Each MP4 assessment delivers 4 detailed improvement plans, as well as a summary of critical safety issues. You get:

Our electrical consultants partner with your teams during an MP4 installation assessment. In every step they are supported by professional software integrating Schneider Electric know-how.

How MP4 services work

Step 1Specify your electrical energy needs and assess your current capabilities

• Understanding your process & quantifying your financial risks• Identifying the critical points in your process• Making a link with the electrical network, and highlighting

devices or busbars that could trigger these high-risk events

• Locating the main energy consumption points• Gaining an understanding of your current and future

operations & maintenance organisation and capabilities

The first step of an MP4 service consultation involves:

Step 2Assess equipment and evaluate network robustness

• Build a stress indicator for each set of equipment, based on: - environmental conditions (e.g. humidity, temperature, salinity)- operating conditions (e.g. load rate, number of operations) - equipment ageing

• Carry out a reliability study to evaluate the robustness of network design in relation to the critical points identified in Step 1

• Classify each set of equipment according to the probability of it contributing to undesired events

During Step 2, we:

MP4 assessments are delivered in 1 to 2 weeks by electrical experts

How MP4 services work

Key steps for success: rate, plan, and share

Step 4Draw up plans and share conclusions

Step 3Rate criticality levels

In Step 3, we combine stress and reliability levels to rate the criticality of each set of equipment and define the appropriate service policy:

• Critical equipment (e.g. predictive maintenance, emergency recovery plan, upgrading action)

• Major equipment (e.g. preventive maintenance)• Minor equipment (e.g. periodic inspection)

• List of critical safety issues• List of upgrade actions necessary to restore nominal

installation performance• 4 plans to:

- Optimise your operating expenditure (Maintenance Plan)- Improve your performance (Modernisation and

Monitoring Plans)- Track the implementation of actions including training, spare

parts management, recovery plan, etc (Management Plan)

• An assessment of the priority of each recommendation and its economic balance sheet

• Formal presentation of conclusions and recommendations to ensure strong understanding and buy-in by all parties involved

Based on the output of Step 3, the following deliverables are consolidated:
