Session 3.3: Control Measures
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
Session 3.3: Control Measures
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.

DISCUSSION 3.3.2 CONTROL MEASURE TAXONOMY
Control Measure Categories
Compensating Provisions
Substantiation Actions
Customer Requirements
Detection Methods
Prevention Control
Purpose:
To guide engineer to effectively brainstorm mitigating actions
To provide reference for management and grouping of control
measure instances in the model

Description Duplicated functionality to A method of determining compensate for failures system degradation state
Ensure "Create a root category?" is unchecked
This ensure the folder is created without a parent category
Session 3.3: Control Measures
EXERCISE 3.3.2 CONTROL MEASURE TAXONOMY
Create new Control Measures
Select Redundancy Category and add new control measure by clicking on
Add Warm Standby', Cold Standby', Parallel' control measures with the details in the table below Similarly add Inspection', `Continuous Monitoring' control measures to Observation Category
Name Description Examples Parent Folder
Warm Standby Standby unit operates at reduced rate until required Standby server Redundancy Cold Standby Standby unit does not operate until required Parallel Standby unit operates even when not required Emergency generator Redundancy Inspection A human inspection of the degradation state Backup server Redundancy
Continuous An automated inspection of the degradation state Scheduled Inspection, Observation Monitoring Anomaly Inspection Observation

Session 3.3: Control Measures
EXERCISE 3.3.2 CONTROL MEASURE TAXONOMY
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
Session 3.3: Control Measures
EXERCISE 3.3.3 CREATE CONTROL MEASURES USING FAILURE DIAGRAM
