Contribution of a systemic modeling approach applied to support risk analysis of a storage unit of chemical products in Morocco
Résumé
This paper proposes a new systemic modeling approach using the unified modeling language (UML) as an operational tool to model a complex industrial system and analyzes its risks. This approach is presented as a modeling process divided into three phases corresponding to functional analysis, structural analysis and risk analysis. This study aims to formalize the interactions within an industrial system and to identify the abnormal situations which could generate risks. The application of this approach is demonstrated with an example of a storage unit of chemical products located in Morocco. This approach provides a comprehensive view that facilitates the understanding of the organization of an industrial system and leads to more effective analysis of its safety
