1. A method for assessing an overall performance of a system comprising a plurality of alarms initiated by a plurality of alarm sensors, the method comprising:

  • determining a first performance level of the system based on a performance matrix and a first set of system measurements, the first set of system measurements comprising;

    a first average alarm rate for a first time period;

    a first threshold percentage for the first time period, the first threshold percentage being a percentage of time that an average alarm rate is greater than a predetermined threshold alarm rate; and

    a first maximum alarm rate occurring within the first time period;

    determining a second performance level of the system based on the performance matrix and a second set of system measurements, the second set of system measurements comprising;

    a second average alarm rate for a second time period;

    a second threshold percentage for the second time period, the second threshold percentage being a percentage of time that an average alarm rate is greater than the predetermined threshold alarm rate; and

    a second maximum alarm rate occurring within the second time period;

    comparing the first performance level to the second performance level.
