Improving safety and operational efficiency of hazardous continuous productions

Within limited financial resources, companies try to find ways to streamline all activities in order to achieve the best possible results at the lowest cost. Operation and repair of equipment in industrial enterprises play a leading role in solving this problem. Improving of the main and auxiliary personnel labor productivity, security and operational efficiency is of crucial importance, because there are no reserves, due to higher prices for products and expanding markets.

Operational efficiency of continuous production mostly depends on the amount of material and labor efforts for the equipment repair and on the amount of losses due to accidents and downtimes.

Growth of situational costs is induced by higher rate of material and labor resources waste due to lack of timely and targeted response to increase of the equipment wear rate caused by low observability of influencing factors in the conditions of a priori uncertainty.

The essence of technical management of hazardous continuous productions consists of early detection and purposeful influence on rate decreasing effect for material and labor resources waste during the equipment operation, which is provided by the monitoring systems implementation and effectiveness of the personnel actions in real time.
