* Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety

At the European Space Agency's (ESA) RAMS conference in the Netherlands, GRIF was highlighted for its advanced calculation tools for satellite reliability and availability. Fabrice Cosson, head of the RAMS section at ESA, emphasized the importance of these tools in improving the operational reliability of space missions.

The Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour (UPPA) and TotalEnergies, and more specifically the Centre Scientifique de Jean Feger in Pau, have been working together for several years to train students in the "Stochastic and Computational Methods for Decision-making" (MSID) course of the "Mathematics and Applications" master's degree.

The ISO/TR 12489 standard, published in November 2013, is a crucial guide for the reliability of safety systems in the energy industry. It supplements IEC 61508-part 6 by providing reliability models, even for systems without SIL requirements. Adopted in over 35 countries, it plays a key role in risk management and operational safety of global energy assets.

The GRIF Club meeting on 14 March 2024 was a resounding success, bringing together 57 participants from all over the world and from a wide range of industrial sectors (aeronautics, aerospace, defense, nuclear, energy, etc.)

The Petro module (Simulation package) of the GRIF software suite - GRaphiques Interactifs pour la Fiabilité - enables production availability studies (PAS) to be carried out and industrial installations to be optimized.

The GRIF software and its services are constantly being improved thanks to your feedback. In order to choose the right direction for development activities-2023 and improve your user experience, we conduct a survey to understand your needs.Please share your user experience with us and fill in the satisfaction survey.

At the European Conference on Plant & Process Safety (EPSC) on 13 and 14 December 2023 in Maastricht, Dirk Roosendans, Deputy Director of the Major Risks Division, and Els Janssens, Process Safety Engineer, both employees of TotalEnergies, presented GRIF Risk.

You will find here the abstract of the paper "Optimizing The Balance Between Production Availability, Capex And Opex Of Projects While Managing Environmental Aspects With A Simulation Tool" that will be presented at the ADIPEC 2023  in Abu Dhabi, UAE, 2-5 October. The paper was written using the Petro module of the GRIF software suite, a RAMS analysis tool.
