Production Good Practices

The production practices are centered around the following principles:

  • I need to run safely and reliably today and into the future. This includes meeting all environmental standards.

  • I need to maximize my output within the limits of my equipment:

  • mechanical integrity limits

  • system design limits

  • physical limits

  • product quality limits

  • environmental limits

  • regulatory limits

  • safety limits

  • I need to run consistently across shifts

  • I need to take accountability and feel responsible for the health of my equipment. I own this equipment and I need it to work right to be successful.

  • I need to recognize problems early and troubleshoot to the best of my ability.

Key Production Practices

  • Shift Handover

  • Equipment Monitoring

  • In the control room

  • In the field

  • Process Control – establishing a “one right way” of operating consistently across shifts.

  • Operating Cardinal Rules

  • Only one right way to operate in “normal” operations

  • Always believe your indications until you prove them wrong

  • Don't over adjust

  • Troubleshooting (includes work order quality)

  • Ownership

  • Work Selection

  • Maintenance Support

  • Routine Operations

  • Non-normal Operations

  • Emergency Operations

  • Interfaces

  • work selection

  • transfer of ownership and license to operate when equipment goes to maintenance
