A method and system for identifying systemic failures and a root cause of incidents in a work environment. Failures, causes, and impacts related to a sample of incidents can be investigated in order to identify one or more systemic failures and root causes of the systemic failure(s). The incident details can be utilized to identify one or more root cause manifestation for each root cause of the systemic failure(s). The gaps in an existing system can be analyzed and one or more improvement solutions based on corrective actions can be identified. The improvement solutions with a highest priority can be selected and implemented to address the gaps identified in the current system based on the analysis of systemic failures and root causes. The effectiveness of the improvement solutions can be tracked and monitored to prevent the recurrence of future incidents.

Method and system for identifying systemic failures and root causes of incidents

An alarm trend summary display system and method can utilize an alarm trend list that works together with an alarm summary list. A set of rows in the alarm trend list can be organized in a top-to-bottom manner. A set of alarm indicators within each row in the alarm trend list can be arranged in a right-to-left horizontal arrangement. The set of alarm indicators can be aligned with most recent alarms appearing on a right side of the alarm trend list. The specific alarm indicators can be selected in the alarm trend list, so that a corresponding item can be highlighted in the alarm summary list, if the alarms are active. Hence, the system and method can allow an operator to see when alarms occur, their sequence, relations and priority, which aid the operators cope with inevitable alarm floods.

Alarm trend summary display system and method

A method includes storing information defining a plurality of procedures to be followed. The method also includes receiving a request for the information associated with at least one of the procedures. The method further includes formatting the requested information based on a platform to receive the requested information. In addition, the method includes providing the formatted requested information to the platform. Formatting the requested information may include formatting the requested information using one of a plurality of templates, where the templates are associated with a plurality of different procedure types. Formatting the requested information may also include formatting the requested information differently based on whether the requested information is to be presented via a console computing device, a mobile device, or a printed document.

Apparatus and method for procedural operations development and distribution

A graphical user interface for providing real-time process information to a user with regard to a process that is operable under control of one or more process variables includes a scale extending along a gauge axis and one or more bars extending along the gauge axis. Each bar is representative of a set of high and low process limit values for a process variable. Further, the graphical user interface includes a graphical shape displayed along the gauge axis representative of a current value of the process variable. A computer implemented method for providing the graphical user interface is also provided.

Process variable gauge interface and methods regarding same

A graphical user display for providing real-time process information to a user for a process that is operable under control of one or more process variables is described. The graphical user display includes one or more graphical devices with each graphical device corresponding to a process variable. At least one graphical device for a corresponding process variable includes a gauge axis and at least one pair of high and low limit elements displayed on the gauge axis is representative of high and low process limit values for the corresponding process variable. A graphical shape displayed along the gauge axis is representative of the current value of the corresponding process variable relative to the process limit values. A computer implemented method for providing the at least one graphical device is also provided.

Process variable generalized graphical device display and methods regarding same

A graphical user display for providing real-time process information to a user for a continuous multivariable process operable under control of a plurality of process variables which include at least manipulated variables and controlled variables includes a matrix array of information describing at least one relationship between one or more controlled variables displayed along a first axis of the array and one or more manipulated variables displayed along a second axis of the array. Further, the display includes one or more graphical devices. Each graphical device is positioned in proximity to a corresponding process variable of the controlled variables and the manipulated variables. Further, each graphical device is representative of at least a state (e.g., current value state, past value state, or predicted value state) of the corresponding process variable. A computer implemented method for providing the graphical user display is also provided.

Multivariable process matrix display and methods regarding same

A system to provide real-time process information to a user for a multivariable process operable under control of a plurality of process variables includes a controller operable to control one or more process variables and provide data representative of such process variables. The system further includes a graphical user interface which receives data representative of the process variables from the controller to display on a single display screen a plurality of display regions. The display regions include at least an overview trend display region to display one or more trend shape elements representative of historical data for corresponding process variables and a process variable detail display region to display a graphical representation of details associated with a selected process variable. Further, the display regions may include a matrix display region to display an array of information describing at least one characteristic associated with the one or more process variables listed in association with the array. The overview trend display of the graphical user interface includes trend shape elements representative of process trend behaviors. Each displayed trend shape element corresponds to one of the process variables and further the trend shape element displayed for a corresponding process variable is a trend shape element representative of historical process trend behavior of the corresponding process variable. Also, computer implemented methods to provide such displays is also provided.
