Training is considered as one of the most important component in the process industry. The progress in development of training methods with respect to the
The sensitivity and significance of operator training increased profoundly with the increase in automation of industrial plants. The paper proposes and discusses the use of
A fundamental challenge and opportunity for risk and operational managers to improve significantly their activity is to adopt a holistic approach to decision-making by grounding
A feasibility study of a new plant or even of a revamped one bases the forecast for incomes and outcomes on a discounting back approach.
The advancement in technology, automation and mechanization has revolutionized the industrial sector and as well as the jobs of concerned operators. Process industry (including the
The need for developing an improved methodology to better train operators is crucial since their performance directly influences the process in terms of productivity, quality,
This paper presents the development and implementation of a computer program to assess and judge the operator performance both for control-room and field operators. In
Situation awareness (SA) is commonly described as the challenges encountered by an operator and it appears during the course of interaction with either the process
The performance assessment of industrial operators is a challenge faced by the scientific community in last decades on account of the subjectivity involved, lack of
Towards the Automatic Measurement of Human Performance in Virtual Environments for Industrial Safety
Human errors during operations, probably more clearly referred to as human or action failures, play an important role in causing industrial accidents. The assessment of
The paper proposes and discusses a methodology to quantify the economic potential of a plant subject to market variability. Price fluctuations and marketuncertainty are analyzed and modeled. The manuscript
This paper discusses the causes and reconstructs the dynamics of the catastrophic accident occurred at the BP refinery of Texas City in 2005. Dedicated sections describe the hypotheses and models adopted in the
