Control Room Design
Operator Training Programs
If the control room is not designed for use, then the
operators can struggle in trying to perform their routine
tasks and fail to avert upsets. In the Design for ACM
approach, the control room becomes an enabler for
high performing teams, supporting communication with
all the functional roles.
A good corollary to the old adage that “you cannot
control what you do not measure” is that you cannot
control what you do not understand. Companies
focused on achieving operational excellence have
acknowledged the need for structured training in
emergency operations or abnormal conditions.
The degree of training commonly changes as the
associated risk of loss increases. Increasingly, training
simulators are being used to simulate the operation of
the plant offline across modes of operation, but with
the same look and feel of the actual plant.
Mustang supports the Design for ACM approach
across the spectrum of architecture needs, either in
our own designs or working with architectural firms
specializing in this area of control room and control
building design.
It is a challenge, but using the
Design for ACM approach can
make a significant impact on
both safety and brofitability.
Advanced Advice Systems
The key goal of abnormal condition management is
to get the correct information to the operator at the
correct time to result in the correct intervention.
Providing more time to orient the operator with early
detection and dynamic real-time advice can be a very
effective means of averting abnormal conditions or
minimizing their impact. Technologies that support
this include knowledge-based systems, model-based
systems, heuristic or data driven and basic process
control.
Mustang Deliverables for Design for ACM
We offer services that can help you get started with
assessment studies, training, toolkits, standards and
specifications. We can also help you manage your
project or program over its lifecycle with services
tailored to fit your needs.
