Method and system for automation, safety and reliable operation performance assessment

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• providing a plurality of sensors, positioned within a facility;
• automatically receiving, by at least one specially programmed computer processor, over a computer network, from the plurality of sensors in the facility, current performance data from a plurality of distinct sources associated with a plurality of distinct process units of at least one process, being performed at the facility;
• wherein the received current performance data comprises measurements representative of an overall automation, safety and operations (ASOP) performance associated with the at least on process that is being performed at the facility;
• executing, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, at least one base application to:
• i) determine at least one sub-metric, wherein the at least one sub-metric that is chosen from:
• at least one automation-related metric, at least one safety-related metric, and at least one operations-related metric,
• ii) normalize the at least one sub-metric to form at least one normalized sub-metric, and
• iii) determine at least one ASOP metric for at least one distinct source associated with at least one distinct process unit of the at least one process based at least in part on the at least one normalized sub-metric;
• determining, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, that the at least one ASOP metric is a proximity-to-safety system metric (PSSM) that is representative of an amount of time a process excursion from at least one pre-determined value of at least one process parameter is at risk of triggering a safety response, and is based on a process area between each respective alarm-trip limit pairs, a number of alarm-trip limit pairs, and a rolling time window;
• and
• generating, by the at least one specially programmed computer processor, based at least in part on the at least one ASOP metric, at least one dynamic graphical user interface having at least one dynamic graphical representation configured to visually convey a current overall performance state of the at least one process at the facility.
