商品簡介
Industrial plant operations carry inherent risks for safety, environment, property, and even 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. The concept of Managing Asset Integrity is 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. Asset Integrity is more than just the technical integrity of plants; Asset Integrity Management is defined as Safe and Reliable Plant Operations - including the production function and the value generation of the assets. This book gives an overview of the underlying principles of risk management, defines unambiguously key terms, and integrates the many concepts going around into one comprehensive but simple management strategy. It focuses on the three dimensions of Asset Integrity and develops a management framework 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.
