Operations Management
The Operations Management package provides the following efficiencies:
- Identify model types to be used in differing services and track actual usage characteristics such as failure rates and quantities in service for Prior Use capabilities.
- Utilize actual component performance data to drive Prior Use failure rates in current and future SIL calculations of safety systems.
- Historically compare system performance data within a plant to discover positive or negative trends in health of systems with the event summary reporting.
- Instantly determine health of systems with Tier III reporting capabilities to include indicators such as system availability, actual demand rates, and uncovered failure rates.
- Identify worst performing systems based on real-time data with the Bad Actors report capabilities.
The Operations Management package is comprised of the following modules:
Operate and Maintain
Operate and Maintain
The Operate/Maintain module is designed to capture the in-service performance of protective systems and functions and associated devices within a processing facility, and report on the history and status of these entities. Data captured over time allows managers to identify performance trends and address any discovered problems. System users can easily define Test Procedures for the protective systems and begin recording test data immediately. The Operate Maintain module uses device event data to compile and generate prior use data and subsequent reliability statics.

- Approval Workflow for Event feature allows Personnel objects associated with a user account to approve or reject events through a series of steps
- Administration reporting available for executing data curing to highlight and enter missing data necessary for optimizing operations data reporting and KPI generation
- A myriad of general, operational, and testing reports provides thorough views of organized and compiled operations data with navigation links to instantly open specific and more granular data
- Categorization of reports allows for quick grouping and simplification of more than 60 basic reports to keep report navigation organized and effortless
- Organize Pending Approvals into a single page view that summarizes all the Pending Events at various levels of the organization
- Automatic periodic statistic updating refreshes data fields related to Testing and Performance of protective systems and their instrument components
- Test Event Workflows allow Functions and Devices to be tested independently from each other
- Integrate protective systems and components with data historians such as PI to automate capturing of real-time events such as demands and bypasses for immediately observed effects on performance and reliability of documented systems

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide an overview of the Operate and Maintain Module?
The Operate and Maintain Module is designed to capture the in-service performance of Safety Related IPLS and Safety Related Devices within a processing facility, and report on the history and status of these entities. Data captured over time allows managers to identify performance trends and address problems and performance. System users can easily define Test Procedures at the unit level and begin recording test data immediately. The Operate and Maintain module uses device event data to generate proven-in-use data and reliability statics.
Does the SLM® system record Risk and Event categorization data.
The SLM® system provides functions to record Risk and Event categorization data. It contains every field required to accurately and effciently fulfill all aspects of the Safety Lifecycle. Bypasses and other Service Status Events are recorded and maintained in the Operate and Maintain module.
How does the SLM® system manage Functional Proof Tests?
Following completion of the Design and Safety Requirements Speci cation, IPLs can then be associated to Test Procedures in the Operate and Maintain module. The Test Procedure is assigned a First Test Date and a Test Interval facilitating a framework for test planning and scheduling. When system users log a Test Event on a particular Test Procedure, the IPL and the devices are given credit for proven in time. The SLM® system adds proven time on Input and Output devices for Passed test events, and logs failures for any failed test events. Through reporting, proven hours and failed events accumulate on device generic models allowing an Enterprise to track In-Service failure rates for commonly used equipment. As stated earlier, these failure rates can then be fed back into the SIL Calculation when the time comes to
revalidate SIL.
Does the SLM® system offer Bypass Management functionality?
Bypass events can be viewed from the Site, Unit or Function level. Di erent views include; Active Bypasses, Approved Bypasses – Pending Bypass, Bypass Authorizations - Not Approved, Bypass Authorizations – Pending approval, and Closed Bypasses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide an overview of the Action Item Tracker Module?
The Action Item Tracker Module is a centralized location where users can create and access assigned action item information from all modules for follow-up and reporting.
