Reliability Tools in a Capital Project from FEL I through Execution Workshop at IMC-2008 only

by Bob DiFrancesco, ARMS Reliability Engineers

Time was that a major capital project was judged strictly by schedule and budget coherence. In many cases this is sadly still the case.

Some organizations like IPA now suggest that best in class capital projects go a step further. Project teams are going beyond the HAZOP utilizing Reliability Tools to interrogate a projects design. The typical tools include Reliability Block Logic Diagrams, Reliability Centered Maintenance and Life Cycle Cost Analysis.

The closer to the conceptual phase of a project that tools are introduced the greater impact they can have on the assets’ long term success. In the best case they can impact Reliability in Design by identifying potential critical design improvements that will improve the assets availability. At latter stages they can identify maintenance requirement bottlenecks that impact availability.

If identified early enough in the FEL process critical bottlenecks can be eliminated by cost effective design changes, if not they are identified for future asset enhancements. At the very least the tools can develop an optimized asset management plan so the overall availability of the equipment and the necessary resources to operate and maintain it are understood prior to commissioning.

The workshop will outline how the tools are used during each project phase and what deliverables are generated.
