HAZOP: HAZard and OPerability study; ICI Chemicals, UK, ‘70

Aim: ‘identifying potential hazards and operability problems caused by deviations from the design intent of both new and existing process plants’ [Lihou03].

HAZOP: HAZard and OPerability study; ICI Chemicals, UK, ‘70


Performed by a team of multidisciplinary experts.

Structured brainstorming process.


Process description

How deviations from the design intent can arise?Can they impact safety and operability?

What actions are necessary?


.. the great advantage of the technique is that it encourages the team to consider less obvious ways in which a deviation may occur (..) In this way the study becomes much more than a mechanistic check-list type of review. [Lihou03]

Detecting Defects in Object-Oriented Diagrams Using UML-HAZOP, FCDS, vol. 24, No. 4, 2002.

Strengths of UML-HAZOPStrengths of UML-HAZOP

• UML

• Defect detection in UML diagrams

• A structured review method for UML diagrams guided by keywords (NO, MORE, LESS, ..)

• An interesting checklist for UML diagrams

• Experimental evaluation shows that the method is quite efficient (defects detected per unit of time)

Weaknesses of UML-HAZOPWeaknesses of UML-HAZOP

Limited to class diagrams only.

Limited to two kinds of relationships in class diagrams, Association and Generalization, from which 10 primary keywords are derived.

In the presented experiments all the analysis was performed by one reviewer whilest HAZOP relies on multidisciplinary teams.

The method lacks analysis of possible consequences of an identified defect (anomaly).

SummarySummary

HAZOP is a structured HAZOP is a structured brainstorming method for risk brainstorming method for risk analysis.analysis.

It can be applied in different It can be applied in different contexts (eg. UML-HAZOP)contexts (eg. UML-HAZOP)

It goes well with other analysis It goes well with other analysis methods, eg. fault tree analysis methods, eg. fault tree analysis (AND/OR trees of faults)(AND/OR trees of faults)
