PET user’s guide

Basically, the PET chart is just a graphic checklist. The general procedure is to identify each procedure, individual and/or organization, facility, and piece of equipment or hardware to be analyzed and then systematically use the appropriate branch of the PET tree, in conjunction with the PET user s guide, to evaluate each part of the system or project (Fig. 16-1). 

First, as with other analyses, define the scope of the analysis and the ground rules. Then collect the appropriate input data organize the data into procedures, personnel, and facilities/hardware and systematically evaluate the system or project using the PET user s guide and the PET chart. Note that multiple copies of the PET chart may be required.
