DESCRIPTION:Two Night Seminar Covering Alarm Management Fundamentals: This 
 course is geared towards practicing electrical\, control and instrument en
 gineers who perform engineering on systems which develop alarms impacting 
 operators.\n\nAbstract:\n\nPoor alarm management is one of the leading cau
 ses of unplanned downtime\, contributing to over $20B in lost production e
 very year [1]\, and of major industrial incidents such as the one in Texas
  City (2005). Developing good alarm management practices is not a discrete
  activity\, but more of a continuous process (i.e.\, it is more of a journ
 ey than a destination). This paper will describe the ISA -18.2 standard\, 
 “Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries” [21]. Example
  alarm considerations for intelligent motors/motor controls\, drives\, and
  electrical infrastructure integrated into process control systems will al
 so be discussed as well as why electrical engineers who implement IEC 6185
 0 [32] substation automation systems need to adhere to alarm management st
 andards.\nISA 18.2 provides a framework and methodology for the successful
  design\, implementation\, operation and management of alarm systems and w
 ill allow end-users to address one of the fundamental conclusions of Brans
 by and Jenkinson that “Poor performance costs money in lost production a
 nd plant damage and weakens a very important line of defense against hazar
 ds to people.”\n\nCo-sponsored by: Donald G. Dunn\, FIEEE\n\nSpeaker(s):
