Alarm Management
An alarm philosophy is a strategy used for the development, implementation, and modification of alarms and the alarm management system. It establishes uniform criteria for all alarm management tasks, with special attention to providing a consistent alarm interface to operators. In addition, this document provides guidance to users of the alarm system to promote safe, stable and reliable operation.
Some key benefits of implementing an alarm management strategy are:
Continuous monitoring and improvement of the alarm system.
Improve process reliability and safety.
Reduce operator distraction and confusion during abnormal situations.
Present alarms at a rate that the operator can effectively manage.
Minimize the number of alarms and, ultimately, the costs of abnormal operations and alarm situations.
Establish consistent expectations for the alarm requirements.
3D Modeling & Drafting
Capability of turning any photo, drawing, schematic into a 3D-model. Accurate models created without expensive laser-measuring technology.
Provide entire project, upgrade or modification overview.
A visual reference showing all the conduit & cable runs and how they link to individual instruments is an excellent resource for plant electrical and I&C staff for a particular plant.
Provides aid with training and troubleshooting and can quickly identify components in the enclosure when there is a trip. Plant personnel do not enter the enclosure very often...so having a resource like this is beneficial.
The Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) agency may have submitted a formal 2D "conduit arrangement diagram" to the plant owner, but this is a dense document and often time consuming to analyze. This type of 3D presentation is not a standard document submitted at the end of a project by the EPC, and provides an important, visual resource.

Foreign Material Exclusion (FME)
What is Foreign Material Exclusion (FME)?
The processes and practices for preventing the introduction of foreign material into a system or component, which may pose economic risk or safety hazard.
Foreign Material (FM)
Any material not part of any system or component as designed. This includes unexpected dirt and debris, tools, equipment combustible materials, machine tailings, grinding particles, paint chips, leak sealing compounds, unapproved chemicals, or any other item or residue which, left inside the system, could adversely affect its operation, components or chemistry.
Foreign Material Exclusion (FME)
The action by personnel that assures a system or component is free of foreign material at the time the system or component is closed up following inspection or maintenance. Poor housekeeping can result in foreign material being introduced into a system or component.
Field Service / FME Monitor
An individual assigned to monitor and/or log the use and movement of tools and materials in and out of an FME Zone when required. An FME Monitor may be assigned collateral duties as long as these duties do not interfere with the monitoring duties and responsibilities.
FME Material Control Log
A log used to keep track of items such as tools and parts moving in and out of an FMEA. Guidelines for completion of the PBF-9157 form are noted on the back of the form. Items physically too large to fit into the open component system are exempt from logging requirements.
