A Systems Model of Underwater Inspection Operations
该论文构建了北海海上结构水下检查的系统模型，整合潜水作业、天气、管理流程等因素，用于量化分析提高检查效率的方法，发现协调水面与水下活动可显著提升效率。
AbstractThe paper reports on the development of a systems model of the sub-sea inspection of an offshore structure in the North Sea. Diving practices, weather conditions, topside management procedures and inspection techniques are incorporated into the model, along with support-vessel capabilities. The model provides a research tool capable of indicating and quantifying ways of increasing the efficiency of inspection diving. Characteristic distributions of many of the variables involved are presented, along with an indication of the consequences of changes in decision and operational parameters. The study indicates that a significant increase in sub-sea inspection efficiency will come from synchronization of topside and sub-sea activities.Keywords: inspectionsystems model
