Operational Integrity: A New Industry Focus 9 By integrating alarm Human Error Equipment Failure management with operations Other management reduces one of largest causes of incidents in the process industry today: abnormal situations caused Causes of Abnormal Situations 40% of Abnormal Situations caused by Human Error 40% caused by Equipment Failure by operator error - 75% of those failures caused by operating outside of equipment limits - API Required Practice 584 for Integrity Operating Windows
Operational Integrity: A New Industry Focus 10 40% of Abnormal Situations caused by Human Error 40% caused by Equipment Failure - 75% of those failures caused by operating outside of equipment limits - API Required Practice 584 for Integrity Operating Windows Causes of Abnormal Situations Other, 20% Equipment Failure, 40% Human Error, 40%

28 Operations Management Maximizing Safe and Profitable Performance
The Building Blocks of Operations Management 29 Console Operation Planning Ensuring operations know exactly what planners, schedulers and optimizers need for that shift. Effective communication of operating plans to produce what the business actually needs Operating within Safe and Defined Limits Ensuring Operations deliver on the plan and operate to that plan within safe operating limits. Protecting the people, the equipment, and the process Tracking and Validation of the Operating Plan Track shift performance against defined plans. Highlight and document deviations from operating plans. Deviations lead to process risk, damaged equipment, and poor performance Secure Shift Handover Process Adopting a best practice for automated shift handover and takeover processes. Ensuring all deviations, critical alarms, safety bypasses etc. are effectively captured and communicated
