How to Find the Best Option to Improve
the System Reliability and Throughput
In the process industry, it is very
common that the upstream process has low reliability but the
downstream process has high reliability. The plant manager has different
options to improve the system reliability and maximize the plant
throughput, including:
- conducting the right preventive
or predictive maintenance
- adding redundancy
- using an intermediate tank
Each option requires a different
budget and results in a different system reliability improvement.
This presentation illustrates a systematic way to find the best
option (or combination of options) to improve the system reliability
and throughput.
Key Words: Reliability,
Availability, Throughput, Profit, Standby Equipment, Storage Tank
Size and Optimisation
