Abstract
Systems and methods that permit rapid and efficient of auditing of a plant model system utilizing a plant model database are described. Such audits may include testing the performance of system tools, verification that specified tasks have been performed, verification that work package components meet project guidelines, error checking of transferred data, validation of permissions, generation of reports detailing project components or features meeting specified criteria, and/or a combination of these.
Claims20
A method of auditing a plant modeling system, comprising:
- analyzing a plant model database based on a non-optimized query to identify a result set using an exception generator;
- configuring a user interface to allow a user to select a subset of the result set to produce a selected subset and a non-selected subset;
- generating an optimized query using an optimization engine as a function of the selected subset;
- and
- generating an audit report using a reporting engine based upon the optimized query, wherein the audit report includes the selected subset but not the non-selected subset.
A system that audits a plant model, comprising:
- a plant model database configured to store a plurality of plant objects;
- an exception generator communicatively coupled to the plant model database, wherein the exception generator is configured to (a) analyze the plant model database based on a non-optimized query and (b) generate a result set;
- a user interface configured to allow a user to select a subset of the result set to produce a selected subset and a non-selected subset;
- an optimization engine configured to generate an optimized query as a function of the selected subset;
- and
- a reporting engine configured to generate an audit report based on the optimized query, where the audit report includes the selected subset but not the non-selected subset.
