Attendees will learn how to conduct alarm
rationalization of greenfield (new) or brownfield (existing)
applications in order to optimize performance of their alarm systems.
The class immerses participants in discussion and hands on exercises
which have been designed to demonstrate the best practices and
requirements for rationalization as taken from the ISA-18.2 alarm
management standard and EEMUA 191 guideline. The class focuses on how
rationalization can lead to improved operator performance by eliminating
/ preventing common alarm problems such as nuisance / chattering /
stale alarms, incorrect priority, alarm overload, and alarm floods. It
also includes a discussion on tips and tricks for creating an alarm
philosophy document, such as how to effectively define the “rules” for
rationalization. Exercises will use exida’s SILAlarm rationalization
tool.
