Baseball season may be in full swing, but the most valuable players we’re talking about is right inside your facility. Plant operators play a critical role within processing manufacturing facilities. In order for your operators to be successful, facilities must first start with the defining of routine operator rounds, which include daily surveillance activities, documentation for trending, swapping spare pumps and more.

Properly trained operators with effective operator round guidelines can provide the following benefits:

• Avoidance of downtime and catastrophic failures through early detection;
• Minimization and/or removal of external, often random failure causes;
• Assurance that all operators perform at a consistent level; and
• Improved process reliability and increased plant availability.
