"...a long habit of
not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance
of being right..." - Thomas Paine, American patriot, in
his 1776 pamphlet, Common Sense.
Starts 2 Weeks from Today!
Many things in your plant may have the
superficial appearance
of being right. The 2008 TiPS - ExperTune User Conference
will equip you with the ability to identify and evaluate opportunities
to improve plant performance, even from areas that appear
to be operating as expected. Consider the following:
- Comprehensive alarm remediation programs have identified
80% or more of alarm activity as an operator nuisance
- Alarm reduction without consideration of alarm quality typically does not improve the usefulness of alarms at all
- 30% of Control loops are operating in Manual mode
- 40% of control loops Oscillate
- 30% control valves have mechanical problems
