Every industrial facility experiences unexpected downtime and
damage to productive assets. How your
organization manages these “bad times” will help determine the performance of
your facility and consequently its profitability for the year. Many industrial companies compile detailed
lists of possible failure modes and develop contingency procedures to effectively
deal with each of them.
Since many
potential problems rarely happen, the experience of the operator comes into
play. More experienced operators have
seen a broader range of problems and know what to do, while less experienced
operators do not. How do you make sure
your contingency plans are followed by everyone, every time?
