    What has improved... Technology developments have facilitated  HMI improvements  Enhanced graphics (e.g. right click for Alarm Help)  Task based displays for support in abnormal situations  Use of audio and visual cues to indicate alarm priority  Application of enhanced and advanced alarm metho

  18. Slide 18: What have we neglected?

    What have we neglected? In moving from this……………………………to this We have focused on the technology We are still convinced that the more alarms we have - the better protected is the plant We have lost sight of “the human in the loop” © ABB Group March 24, 2015 | Slide 19

  19. Slide 19: Back to first principles....

    Back to first principles.... What is alarm management for? From Wikipedia Alarm management is the application of human factors (or ergonomics as the field is referred to outside the U.S.) along with instrumentation engineering and systems thinking to manage the design of an alarm system to increase

  20. Slide 20: Existing systems: The challenges

    Existing systems The challenges Most owner / operators are now aware  They may understand the problem  But do not necessarily see the solutions Some are spending a great deal (time/ money) to achieve “compliance” Some efforts are stalling Often the solutions are more about ways of working than tec

  21. Slide 21: Existing system project

    Existing system project As described by one of our clients... Rashid Petroleum Company (Egypt) “This is what success looks like. WDDM alone had 6 trips in 2008 compared to 25 in 2007, and 17 in just the second half of 2006. This has a significant business value”. © ABB Group March 24, 2015 | Slide 2

  22. Slide 22: Greenfield projects: The challenges

    Greenfield projects The challenges Most owner / operators are now aware  that they should address alarm management before handover to operations Many are doing alarm reviews to rationalise alarms Most have yet to integrate the alarm management lifecycle into their project lifecycle © ABB Group Marc

  23. Slide 23: Greenfield projects: The challenges

    Greenfield projects The challenges Most projects have an alarm philosophy Alarm Philosophy The challenge is the implementation  What is the impact on those involved in the Identification project?  EPC/ ICSS supplier package vendors Rationalisation  How is the alarm philosophy to be Management com

  24. Slide 24: Greenfield Project example

    Greenfield Project example Series of alarm reviews held post Hazard studies and LOPA  Alarm philosophy enhanced with alarm ‘rules’ agreed for current and future system design  Over 35% of proposed alarms agreed as not ‘good’ alarms  78% of alarms proposed for ICSS removed  All alarms prioritised

  25. Slide 25: Success factors

    Success factors What distinguishes the successes? - those who are getting it right  Focus on operator (not on technology)  Team / multi discipline approach  Lifecycle framework  Essential for holding the gains  Local champion  Ensures benefits identified and maintains momentum © ABB Group Marc

  26. Slide 26: Alarm management: The ABB vision

    Alarm management The ABB vision A lifecycle approach: Measure Review The main elements 1. Management responsibilities (who does what?) 2. Control of design and development 3. Testing 4. Measuring performance Improve 5. Training and competence 6. Review and continuous improvement The virtuous circle

  27. Slide 27: Typical service components...

  33. Slide 33: Conclusions

    Conclusions The focus needs to move from technology improvements back to the strengths, constraints and needs of the mark I human operator. The advent of IEC 62682 is prompting a move to more specific requirements and expectations for good practice Regulatory Compliance Those who reap the range of b
