Balancing Competing Priorities
to Maximize Productivity
and Minimize Risk
Machine learning technology can now predict equipment failures weeks in advance. But once you know a major failure is imminent, what next? How do you decide when and how to perform the repair to maximize productivity and minimize risk? Maintenance wants to carry out the repair quickly in the safest, most well-planned way. Operations wants to maintain production and is resistant to shut down until necessary. Planning and scheduling seek to assure timely product deliveries to assure customer satisfaction, and avoid costs associated with delayed shipments. Reliability staff question tradeoffs. Is it an emergency safety issue, or can lightening the load on the equipment enable you to wait until a more convenient time for maintenance?
With competing and conflicting priorities, the right answer is not so obvious. In this session, we’ll explore how new technology advances are enabling decision-makers to quickly evaluate hundreds of possible future scenarios, and understand the financial consequences and risk involved in different operational decisions. Join us to learn how to quickly balance these conflicting interests to determine the best time for repair—maximizing system-wide productivity and minimizing risk.

When it comes to reliability, making the best decisions shouldn't be left to subjective perceptions or over-simplified, equipment level analysis. The focus should instead be on the system impacts of decision making, and potential opportunities reported in terms that everyone understands —money! Whether looking at equipment reliability, operations, maintenance alternatives, or external disruptions, system reliability analysis can help to quantify the best path forward. During this session, we will show how system reliability analysis can be used to quantify current plant performance and how to evaluate potential improvement opportunities. Join us and learn how to evolve your decision-making process from one of emotional debates into one of quantitative analysis based on your bottom line.

The advent of new enabling technologies such as
high-performance computing, the cloud and data lakes, internet connectivity and mobility — among many others — have come together to generate deeper insights from the exploitation of this data. These advances are making it possible to derive insights not afforded before, to capture even greater value through improvements in operations and reliability, and ultimately to maximize margins through operational excellence programs.
The ability to leverage this massive collection of data
to extend the life of assets and maximize the return on capital employed represents one of the greatest sources
of additional profit still available — and it is made possible by technologies that fall under the “Industry 4.0” or “digitalization” banner. Early adopters of solutions that incorporate these advances are realizing significantly higher profits and a competitive advantage.
In this session, we’ll discuss how several early adopters of prescriptive analytics have reduced unplanned downtime and improved asset reliability. We’ll discuss how Saras, a leading European refiner, achieved 45 days advanced notice of equipment failure. Other examples covered include a cardboard plant in Asia.
