Exception management system

The business processes covered by an exceptions management system are corrective and preventive actions, audit by third parties and regulatory organizations, internal... 

Based on the audit findings, the team typically issuesa report that summarizes the status of current management systems and identifies pacesetter programs and areas of non-compliance or exceptions. These findings should be provided both to the facility manager and to the PSM team, for consolidation into overall recommendations. A sample audit report is shown in Figure 4-5. 

As with losses in the refinery category, the number of losses in the petrochemical industry have also continued to increase over the last few years, with the exception of facilities located outside the United States. Outside the U.S., the number of losses in recent years has actually declined. Losses in recent years have been attributed to piping failures and management system failures. 

An exceptional investigation report willfully explain the technical elements and issues associated with the incident. It will describe the management systems that should have prevented the event, and will detail the system root causes associated with human errors and other deficiencies involved in the incident.

The use of Cautions, Notes, and Warnings, or any other such terms, should be clearly defined within the Procedure Management System to refer to different level of concerns and consequences. The terms and any formatting aids using to identify them, sudi as fonts and boxes, should also be clearly defined so that they will be used consistently within the procedures. As with any rules, there are exceptions. Occasionally you may find a situation where a Note really should come after a step or you need to put an action in a Caution statement. The main point is to remember that these are exceptions. Don t get in the habit of writing lots of notes and cautions that hide actions from the users. 

SECOFOR is an expert system supporting exception management for drilling process failnres dnring geological exploration. 

LIMS usually work tightly with SOPs or a method management system. These systems provide the documented rules for exception management in sample data analysis batch evaluation. The concept of user input verification may replace the rule-based calculation functionality in existing LIMS. The required information logistics to solve this task is based on the following assumptions ... 

The only standard in this family that may be used for registration of a quality management system is ISO 9001. In previous editions there were three such reqrrirements standards, ISO 9001,9002, turd 9003. The 9001 standard was the most complete in that it covered all parts of a quality management system. ISO 9002 was identical to 9001 except that the design function was not included. Several other functions were omitted from the 9003 standard. The 2000 edition of ISO 9001 allows for the tailoring of the standard to delete requirements such as design when they do not apply to an organization. 

Efforts to more precisely control this involved the development of an exceptionally sophisticated engine management system involving continuous electronically controlled modification of the engine in A/F ratio driven from the readings of a sensor placed in the exhaust pipe.

The required qualifications, training, and experience of the assessors are described in the respective documents. With the exception of Ships, an assessor of an ISO 9000/14000 certifying body carries out the SQAS assessment. In the case of Port Agencies or Forwarders, however, self-assessment of the subsidiary may be considered, provided the subsidiary operates under the same safety and quality management system as the head office. In the case of Ships, the chemical company carries out the SQAS assessment on a spot basis. 

Section 5.1.1 Hierarchy of Controls Although it was said earlier that ZIO is a management system standard and not a specification standard, the provisions pertaining to a hierarchy of controls are the exception. A specifically defined... 

The paper also contains an extensive listing under the heading Specific Knowledge and Skills of Occupational Health and Safety Management System Auditors. The excepts here are to serve safety professionals in making a preliminary review of their own capabilities as auditors and in assessing the qualifications of auditors external to their organizations whom they may hire. 

I Get rid of the management failure myth, said Paul Difford. ASSE supports the premise that management, not workers, without exception, cause all accidents. All industrial accidents are not causatively traceable to the management system. Difford in 2011 revised Heinrich s assertion that the unsafe acts of workers are the cause of 88% of accidents upward to what he calls a logical 98%.
