Safe and Reliable Plant Operations - Operations Management for Hazardous Facilities
Industrial plant operations carry inherent risks for safety, environment, asset value, and lost production. As production processes and industrial plants get more complex due to new production technology and increased automation a comprehensive but pragmatic approach to manage these risks is required. Here is where Safe and Reliable Plant Operations steps in with an integrated methodology to design safe and functional production systems as well as implementing safe and reliable operations encompassing production, maintenance, inspection, and plant engineering.
This book gives an overview of the underlying principles of risk management, defines unambiguously key terms, and integrates the many concepts Process Safety, Reliability, Asset Integrity into one comprehensive but simple operations management strategy with work processes, organisation, and systems. An outlook for future Plant Operations Management 2050 closes the book and encourages the reader to improve current operations.
