A Fresh Look at Alarm Performance Metrics
A Fresh Look at Alarm Performance Metrics discusses the basis
for alarm activity based performance metric and introduces
two different approaches for measuring the effectiveness of
process alarms.
A short introduction:
Alarm performance benchmarks are typically designed to measure
the effect of alarm activity on operator performance. In addition
to alarm activity metrics used to find the "right" amount
of alarm activity there are other classes of metrics that
accurately expose shortcomings in alarm design and implementation,
or those having little or no operational value. Using a good
mix of all types of alarm performance metrics builds a better
foundation from which to evaluate the performance, health,
and value of an alarm system.
