SIL determination as a utility-based decision process

Inference algorithms for the useful life of safety instrumented systems under small failure sample data

“…The calculated PFDavg was more accurate because the effect of common cause failure is taken into account. Jahanian and Mahboob (2016) introduced a risk-based optimization approach to the SIL determination process to reduce the risk to as low as practically possible. de Lira-Flores et al (2019) proposed an MINLP approach for solving the plant layout problem by optimizing the design of safety instrumented systems.…”
