Note: This training deck is primarily composed of instructional screenshots (numbered dialog boxes, toolbar callouts, field highlights). The text below preserves all extractable slide text — titles, bullet points, discussion/exercise headings, and table content. Where a slide is dominated by an unlabeled screenshot, only the caption and step-list text could be extracted; screenshot visual detail itself is not represented.

Session 3.3: Control Measures

DISCUSSION 3.3.1 WHAT ARE CONTROL MEASURES?

Control Measures are concepts that reduce risk by affecting qualitative criticality parameters:

   Severity
   Controllability
   Probability
   Difficulty Of Detection

Control Measures act on

   Faults
   Failure Conditions
   Functional Flow Property Responses
   End Effects

Multiple Control Measure act together to form a Control Measure Set

Are represented by a Shield Icon

DISCUSSION 3.3.2 CONTROL MEASURE TAXONOMY

Model Elements

Icon Name Use Case

  Control Measure Category    Contains set of control measures or other control measure categories

  Default Control Measure Type Control measure type pre-defined by PHMT upon project creation

  Custom Application Control  Control measure type defined by user and saved to the application
  Measure Type                instance. Indifferent to the open project. (Personal)

  Custom Project Control      Control measure type defined by user and saved to the project
  Measure Type                instance. Indifferent to the application instance being used. (Shared)

  Control Measure Instance    Control measure instantiated to the model. A control measure
                              instance will always reference one control measure type. Once in the
                              model, whether the control measure is default, custom application
                              or custom project the instance is treated and represented the same.

Purpose:

   To guide engineer to effectively brainstorm mitigating actions
   To provide reference for management and grouping of control

      measure instances in the model

Save Control Measure Taxonomy to Project

Press save to save custom control measure taxonomy to current MADE project In the Save Taxonomy to Project' window, select all control measure items and click OK' Control measure items will change to red to indicate that they have been associated with the project (recommended)

Note: To edit project control measures, you must unsave them from the taxonomy using the button, so they are green, make the changes, and save them back to the project
