6. Why need Performance Monitoring ?
Health Check of APCS & production process
To ensure smooth & uninterrupted production
To ensure smooth & uninterrupted operation of APCS
Help detect early onset of deteriorating performance of
APCS
To avoid unnecessary plant shutdown
To comply to DOE Environmental Quality Act & Clean Air
Regulations 2014
To avoid costly DOE or DOSH enforcement penalties
To specify action levels at which corrective actions are to be
initiated
