Overview

Alarm rationalisation activities are often time-consuming exercises using near-infinite spreadsheets. This presentation will discuss a work process that significantly reduces the effort - up to a factor of 10, whilst simultaneously improving quality. The presentation will cover both greenfields projects and brownfields rationalization activities.
