Importance of Six sigma in petroleum refineries
(OP)
Hi all,
The six sigma methodologies is really helpful to deploy in petroleum refineries/chemical industries.Pl. find here with the attached article/document which talks about various tools/techniques which we can deploy in refinery process units to gain as maximum as possible.Anyone here who can share about deployment of these tools in any process units…..I would really appreciate that…

Yes..these are really an excellent tools to deploy …Is it possible for you to share any case studies ..
Thanks very much in advance to you…

Read about Dr Juran and Dr Demming.

The output of this approach is base in likelihood and consequence of equipment failure, this way we got a risk matrix for each equipment and we can focus end optimize our resources in the more critical ones.
To optimize this asset integrity we are now crossing our RBI matrix with a risk management matrix based in Impacts and likelihood.
This way we can rank our equipment risk in the management matrix and tune our risk.
This is my share

dcasto & 0707,
Failure Mode effect analysis -FMEA & QFD is also one of the good six sigma tools which one can deploy..I have just gone through qualproinc..really intresting one..
As 0707 mentioned, RPN = severity x occurance x detectability is really vital tool..any buddy has implemented Design for six sigma -DFSS project in chemical/petroleum refinery units..apart from DMAIC project.
Thanks...

I've been fighting for almost 12 years now.

Our risk based programme is according Risk-based Inspection API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 580
