Event Overview
The success of every company depends on each
employee's understanding of the business's key
components. Employee training and development
will unlock the companies' profitability and
reliability.
The unit on-stream time is an indication of
operations training need. A first quartile
operating unit's on steam factor is greater than
97%. If the on-stream factor is below 97% a
review of operation training and development is
warranted.
If on-stream factor or average years of
operating experience is declining, a review of
operations training and development should be
considered.
This seminar was designed to serve as a guide to
building the Operation and Maintenance groups
excellence in the processing industry.
Understanding the fundamentals of process unit
operations equipment will greatly improve your
teams operational excellence and safety.
The Operation and Maintenance groups are the
process units first line of defense; the flare
is the last line of defense.
