The Benefits of Good Alarm Management
Abnormal Situation Management
A well implemented alarm management program can deliver results that not only improves the operator’s situational awareness, decreases the potential of a safety related incident, and enhances environmental compliance but also reduces unplanned downtime, helps prevent equipment damage, lessens production losses due to off-spec production, and improves overall plant profitability. The alarm philosophy and rationalization efforts are key to establishing an effective alarm management program and sustaining it long-term.
Participants will:
- Learn how Motiva improved their alarm management program.
- Understand the need to have an alarm philosophy before beginning an alarm management program.
- Understand the basics of alarm rationalization with a focus on quality alarms rather than quantity.
