OPERATOR COMPETENCY MANAGEMENT

摘要

A method of operator competency management includes providing a computing system having a processor running a software application. The software application implements an Operator Competency Model (OCM) which includes a simulated competency exercise including a plurality of simulated tasks for an operator in a processing facility running a physical process, wherein a competency for each simulated task is mapped to an assessment tool, wherein the assessment tools collectively include at least one subjective assessment tool and at least one automatically generated assessment tool. Responsive to the operator performing the simulated competency exercise, the performance of the operator is evaluated using respective ones of the assessment tools for the simulated tasks to generate competency data for the operator. The competency data includes an automatically generated portion corresponding to data generated by the automatically generated assessment tool and a subjective assessment portion corresponding to data generated by the subjective assessment tool.
