General Foreman comments 12 “This will allow our guys to see what is really going on with their components.  They get expert condition reports back that will give them specific instructions of what is wrong and how to fix it; vs. the Fax we get now.”   Bilbo Bessert  (Process Plants) “The program forces communication between the planners and the shop floor – they track down shop floor technicians to get feedback on actions taken as a result of the CI recommendations and work order generated. Things are going well with the CBAM program; we have made great improvement from the start.” Ken Andress  (Newmont East)

Editor's Notes

  2. Kill this slide
  3. Kill this slide
  4. BP's Texas City Refinery is the second-largest oil refinery in the state and the third-largest in the United States. A major explosion occurred at the site on March 23, 2005, killing 15 workers and injuring more than 170 others. It has been noted as one of the most serious industrial incidents in the past two decades.The operators started the tower while ignoring open maintenance orders on the tower’s instrumentation system. The design of the level indicator meant that it only read a length of 3 metres; anything above that didn't register. In addition, the design was such that any level above 3 metres could show on the screen as a drop in level. There was a secondary alarm which should have gone off if liquid exceeded 2.5m, however no-one heard it; the alarm was reported as damaged before the accident and there were no records of it being fixed
