Getting More Out of Your Operators

27-28 Jun 2017
NBC Tower, Chicago, IL, United States of America


Why You Should Attend

Process Operations and Human Factors

Control room operators are the process pilots. They manage the automation system and have a direct effect on up time, down time, start up, process optimization, equipment, energy & waste consumption, product quality, and safety. Regulators have identified the need for improved industry practices that have proven to reduce human error, improve safety, and help operators manage abnormal situations. Operators have a massive impact on your bottom line although most sites overlook their value. It’s time to change the culture, and demand more from our operators. To do that we must focus on human factors and implement best practices to achieve a best-in-class operation center.
