An algorithm for automated cause-consequence diagram construction
online resource
posted on 2008-10-07, 14:00 authored by Akvilina Valaityte, Sarah DunnettSarah DunnettThe cause-consequence diagram (CCD) method is a system safety technique which determines
the logical combinations of causes of events, by the use of fault trees, and identifies all possible consequences
of the events. Traditionally cause-consequence analysis is based on the manual construction of the CCD
which is very time consuming, expensive and also a source of human errors. A way of overcoming these
drawbacks is to have an automated method of constructing the diagram. Hence in this paper the development
of an automated CCD construction algorithm is presented. The algorithm created is based on methods previously
developed for reliability techniques. Using a model for each component in the system a set of rules are
developed which automatically construct the CCD in an efficient manner. The procedure has been validated
by testing it on a variety of industrial systems.
