چکیده
A Decision Support System for Chemical Incident Information. (August 2002) Gaurav Sharma, B. E. , Panjab University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. M. Sam Mannan Decision Support Systems (DSS) find extensive applications in business enabling industry managers to make intelligent risk decisions. Although widely used in business applications, the application of DSS to Process Safety Management has been lacking. This thesis proposes the development of such a DSS based on chemical incident information. Chemical incident information is mostly qualitative in nature. Therefore, mathematical and statistical analysis of this information is an extremely challenging problem. This thesis introduces indices that quantify the qualitative nature of chemical accident information. Weighted Scoring Method is the chosen decision aid for the DSS. Using this decision aid, the various indices are finally consolidated into a single index that serves to facilitate decision making for process sal'ety. The proposed DSS is meant to be user specific. There is scope for the individual user to use the DSS as pcr hts/her decision-making criterion.
