Abstract
A system and method used for the evaluation of problem-solving measures and corrective actions, including, but not limited to, actions associated with accident prevention, for the purpose of quantifying organizational effectiveness and identifying safety improvement performance.
Claims5
A system for generating a problem solving index, comprising:
- a means for receiving information related to one or more accident reports each containing a description of one or more corrective actions;
- a means for respectively rating said one or more accident reports based upon a rated type of said respective corrective actions;
- a means for calculating a planning index for said one or more accident reports by calculating a weighted average of said rating of said one or more accident reports;
- a means for calculating an awareness index for said one or more accident reports;
- a means for calculating an implementation index for said one or more accident reports based upon the number of said corrective actions having a predetermined rating, being implemented;
- a means for calculating the product of said planning index, said awareness index, and said implementation Index;
- wherein said product is an objective index representation of corrective actions taken with respect to said accident reports.
