Onsite Plant Services (Operations Consulting)

Optimizing plant operations performance raises new questions and requires new approaches as plants face depleted budgets for upgrades or new generation, and competition with other divisions for scarce O&M dollars. It is no longer enough to focus predominantly on Maintenance and Reliability issues and solutions. Our substantial field experience has revealed that in many energy plants, operational processes are not adequately addressed and become the 'weakest link' to Operational Excellence. Our Onsite Plant Services (OPS) Team understands that existing plant operations face the difficulty, expense, and subsequent RISK incurred by informal on-the-job training. Yet we understand that in order to be cost efficient, operations management and support staff must become familiar as soon as possible to proven operational practices, technologies, and tools to optimize performance and reduce operational and fuel costs. We work onsite and alongside your team, sharing our critical-depth expertise for specified periods to help you establish operational accountability, optimal operating stratagies and long-term vision alignment. Our Team consists of engineers and operational experts, not trainers that are unaware of the technical or operational demands of today's systems or products. Key areas our programs cover include:

• Operations Audits and Gap Analysis

• Operations Procedures development / implementation / training

• Data and Process flow

• Pre / Post start up assessment and activities

• Root cause analysis

• Critical Task identification, planning, scheduling, and execution

• Human Asset Optimization and testing / qualification for all operating classifications
