Methods, systems, and devices for managing a plurality of alarms
First Claim
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.

Abstract
Present example embodiments relate generally to methods, systems, devices, computer readable medium, and logic for managing a plurality of alarms initiated by a plurality of alarm sensors. The method comprises receiving the plurality of initiated alarm. The method further comprises prioritizing the initiated alarms. The method further comprises creating an initiated alarm being a condition-based alarm when an initiated alarm satisfies an event condition. The method further comprises reprioritizing an initiated alarm when said initiated alarm satisfies a reprioritization condition. The method further comprises suppressing an initiated alarm. The method further comprises reporting an unsuppressed initiated alarm based on the prioritizing of said alarm. The method further comprises providing information comprising an operator action for the unsuppressed initiated alarm and an initiated alarm suppressed based on the unsuppressed initiated alarm.
