Determining whether to use standard Action Patterns or Enhanced Action Patterns depends on the needs of your organization. Things to consider when considering how to update or enhance your action patterns:
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the Company.
- What comments can be automated?
- Are there any schedules impacting how the operations behave on alarm events?
- What features might an operator access such as video or audio?
- What notifications may be required?
- Are data items that may be analyzed automatically to make operational decisions?
Action Patterns guide operators through their daily alarm monitoring practices. The goal is to create consistency with the SOP and business requirements.
