day to day monitoring
day to day monitoring
(OP)
hi,
i am a process engineering intern for an oil/gas industry. one of my key role is to day to day monitors the surface facilities before daily meetings.
one of the monitors used is Plant Information Process Books that shows live field information and also helps u to see past events. there are so many equipment (heater, dehydration tank, separators, etc)
i would like to get tips on what to prioritise, what parameters to look at. what could i do to bring value in my daily activities.
thank you

RE: day to day monitoring
The best advice I can give you is to start at an entity and learn what "normal" looks like. Once you know that, then "abnormal" becomes vivid.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"

If you ever find yourself saying
"Hmmmn. That's odd."
"Gee, it didn't do that last week."
"Funny, that's never happened before."
"Weird..."
Or - worst of all: "But it must be OK, because they would have told me that I should have noticed that if it were important."
If any of those come up, bring it up as a "question:" "I'm not sure if this is important, but I noticed ..."
