Next Generation in Safety Case Management
The Diametric Safety Case Manager
The DSM is a powerful new safety management tool. Your safety case, risk management, hazard log and FMEA are stored in a single, easy to use safety model. You get a powerful analysis capability, a flexible data mapping function and the ability to work with modular safety cases. You can customize reports to provide consistent, up to date information tailored to meet the needs of your stakeholders.
Features
Clarity: The DSM) is first and foremost a modelling tool. The DSM uses the industry-standard Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) for safety arguments. You can import tables of evidence items from your document database via Excel and then link them to your argument. Presenting your safety argument has never been easier.
Consistency: Traditional safety assurance is based around a mixture of spreadsheets, documents and diagrams. This duplicates information, leading to higher costs and errors in deliverables. The DSM integrates all this information into a safety model with every fact and relationship stored exactly once. Diagrams, tables and reports are just different views on this underlying model, so they are guaranteed to remain consistent. If the severity of a hazard is revised or evidence is challenged then you can update the model and trace the impact quickly and accurately.
Flexibility: Would you like a list of overdue evidence items? How about the arguments and evidence associated with each control on a particular hazard? When a stakeholder has a question you need to answer it quickly and accurately. You can define your own table formats in the DSM using queries and matrices. The DSM works with your existing processes and document formats, unlike other tools which force you to fit into their way of doing things. No programming is required, unlike other tools which need extensions to be written in Visual Basic or Javascript.
