Process Alarm Rationalisation is a systematic, cross-functional review of a facility’s control system alarms, such as those in a Distributed Control System, SCADA, or complex Building Management System.
Alarm Philosophy
A site-specific rulebook is created or updated to define exactly what constitutes a valid alarm, establishing standardized rules for prioritisation
Systematic Team Review
A multi-disciplinary team reviews each individual alarm against the philosophy. Nuisance alarms or purely informational alerts are removed
Prioritisation and Documentation
For every valid alarm that remains, the team determines its priority based on the severity of the consequence
