    Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of an alarm management system are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment is a method for monitoring an industrial plant comprising determining a sequence of alarm events for each of a plurality of time intervals including a first alarm event of a plurality of alarm events and a second alarm event of the plurality of alarm events; determining a count of the first alarm events and second alarm events; determining the alarm events exceed a support threshold value; determining a third count of a sub-sequence of the sequences of alarm events including the first alarm event followed by the second alarm event in response to determining the first count and the second count exceeds the support threshold value; determining a ratio using the first count, the second count, and the third count exceeds a display threshold value; and displaying the sub-sequence.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for identifying a sequence of events associated with a condition in a process plant using a control system. The method comprises recording process data, which is timestamped, and recording audio input from each personnel of a plurality of personnel of the process plant. The audio input is synchronized according to time with the process data. A keyword is identified from the temporally synchronized content of each audio input, and compared with the process information of one or more of an event and an equipment, for identifying at least one of a new process information and a supplementary process information related to the condition. One or more of the new process information and the supplementary process information identified for each keyword, and the plurality of events identified from the process data, are used for identifying the sequence of events associated with the condition.
