This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance Management for the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries: A Systems Approach is a practical guide on the business cycle and techniques to undertake step, episodic, and breakthrough improvement in performance to optimize operating costs. Like many industries, the oil, gas, and process industries are coming under increasing pressure to cut costs due to ongoing construction of larger, more integrated units, as well as the application of increasingly stringent environmental policies. Focusing on the ‘value adder’ or ‘revenue generator’ core system and the company direction statement, this book describes a systems approach which assures significant sustainable improvements in the business and operational performance specific to the oil, gas, and process industries. The book will enable the reader to: utilize best practice principles of good governance for long term performance enhancement; identify the most significant performance indicators for overall business improvement; apply strategies to ensure that targets are met in agreed upon time frames. Describes a systems approach which assures significant sustainable improvements in the business and operational performance specific to the oil, gas, and process industries Helps readers set appropriate and realistic short-term/ long-term targets with a pre-built facility health checker Elucidates the relationship between PSM, OHS, and Asset Integrity with an increased emphasis on behavior-based safety Discusses specific oil and gas industry issues and examples such as refinery and gas plant performance initiatives and hydrocarbon accounting

Download or read book Manufacturing and Supply Systems Management written by B. Wu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to compete in an increasingly demanding market, many manufacturing companies have to redesign or restructure their manufacturing systems so that a set of coherent manufacturing strategies can be supported. So this book aims to provide a comprehensive treatment of manufacturing strategy analysis (MSA) and manufacturing systems design (MSD). The strategic concerns of manufacturing are linked to subsequent manufacturing systems design activities through the use of an effective MSA/MSD interface. Topics include: A structured approach to formulating manufacturing strategies; A set of linking processes to translate MSA concerns into relevant MSD action plans; Case studies. This book is intended to help graduates and industry-based professionals to make more informed decisions when working on system-design or redesign projects.

Book excerpt: A Systems Approach to Managing the Complexities of Process Industries explains the principles of system thinking and how it applies to the process industry, along with the benefits of this methodology and its implementation in plants. The focus of this book is on project and plant management, executive teams, and relative tasks/decision-making. The book covers engineering, procurement, and construction, and then moves on to operation and maintenance. System engineering, system thinking, and complexity management is discussed in a practical way, fully supported with web simulations and video clips. Users will find the fundamental background they need to understand and relate system engineering methods (for example HSEMS, Bow-Tie, Swiss Cheese model and more) and implement them through an integrated and consistent method and tool. The authors bring a wealth of expertise from various industries, developing this book with the industry professional in mind. This study of the end-to-end process will help users improve operational excellence and navigate the complexities of managing a chemical or processing plant. Presents a review of Operational Excellence and HSEMS Methods, along with solutions to complex process problems Provides a comparison of the process industry with other industries to generate new insights into familiar issues Includes an explanation on how collaborative and simulation tools, such as PLM, can improve the implementation of operational excellence and HSEMS

Download or read book Construction Safety Management A Systems Approach written by Jose D. Pérezgonzález and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2005 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The few models on safety management that are available tend to explain a procedure to manage safety rather than a safety management system. The research carried out here, however, models safety management by transforming a common procedural model (i.e. the HSE's model, 1997) into a functional systems representation. The overall goal of the model is to offer clear graphic lines of influence of its different components on organisational safety. The model is innovative not in the components that it considers but in the representation of those components, which details relative distances between elements and, therefore, opens doors to model-driven hypotheses which account for those distances. Therefore, hypotheses are more accurate in their predictions. This model is firstly explored in the construction sector. Results from this exploratory research support the adequacy of the model to understanding safety management and encourage future research of a more confirmatory nature.
