The Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Consortium is a long-running and active Honeywell-led research and development consortium of 12 companies and universities that are concerned about the negative effects of industrial accidents. An abnormal situation is a disturbance or series of disturbances in a process that causes plant operations to deviate from their normal operating state. The disturbances may be minimal or catastrophic, and cause production losses or, in serious cases, endanger human life. The result of an abnormal situation can be unnecessary costly due to production losses, off-spec product, equipment damage, or worse.
