Overview ?

Introduction

The ease at which Distributed Control Systems (DCS) alarms can be created has removed the incentive to limit the number of such alarms. The result, operators today are potentially faced with more alarms than they can effectively monitor. Alarm Systems Management (ASM) should therefore identify unnecessary alarms, those set at the wrong value and general overall improvement to the systems and procedures
Poor management and poor ownership of alarm systems with no agreed alarms policy inevitably leads to a situation where alarms are incorrectly set giving large numbers of irrelevant alarms which the operator, frustrated, begins to ignore or which may obscure more critical alarms. Rationalisation and de-manning of control rooms without an awareness of human factors further increases potential risks. In this ‘nontechnically’ based seminar you will learn how to:

  • Apply concepts and procedures for improving alarm management
  • Assess the performance of your system with a range of improvement techniques
  • How to improve and apply Alarm Management techniques
  • Evaluate your current operator readiness, state of training and ability
  • Consider the opportunities for increased plant performance and safety
Objectives
  • Alarm Management will provide you with a collection of techniques, tools, standards and procedures that will improve operations and overall effectiveness
  • Business Case Tools: Understand the costs of poor alarm performance or not implementing an alarm management philosophy by reviewing sample business case studies
  • Best Practice Alarm Management Strategies: Quickly and effectively integrate alarm management strategies by examining successful, working solutions
  • Alarm Management Performance: Understand the number of ways of measuring the performance of an alarm system and its users
  • Ensuring that Emergency Response systems are in place so if/when the system does fail the response can be efficient and effective
Training Methodology

Delegates will be encouraged to fully participate in this non-technical programme through the use of syndicate workshops and presentations, group discussions and questionnaires. A hard-copy manual (and CD), PowerPoint slides, relevant DVD material, handouts and case-studies will be fully utilised

Organisational Impact

The many shortcomings found in alarm systems can cause incidents where the risk to personnel is increased together with an increase in operation costs. Participants will be introduced to concepts, methods and procedures for dealing with alarm management systems

  • Configured and correctly enforced, alarms need to be set at the right operating conditions
  • Identify possible causes for the alarm whether it’s legitimate (providing information), spurious (misleading or a nuisance) or redundant (telling the operator something he already knows)
  • Such conditions will be a major tool allowing process operators to rapidly identify escalating abnormal situations and take action to recover
  • Avoid abnormal situations that can quickly lead to personnel danger, environmental issues, commercial loss and a damaged reputation.
