摘要

For the past several decades, many facilities in the process industries have been reducingstaffing, particularly among operators, craftspersons, and first-line supervisors. Gone are thewidely recognized but rarely quantified safeguards that help prevent human error such as (1)highly experienced personnel, (2) first-line supervisors who have “seen it all,” and (3) staffinglevels that are flexible enough to accommodate nonroutine operations. In today’s economicenvironment, first-line supervisors are often asked to take on additional work groups,experienced operators are asked to take early retirement with no plans to fill the knowledge gap,and staffing levels are reduced to the point where anything beyond normal/planned operationscan lead to unacceptable risk. As the baby-boomer generation nears retirement and globaleconomic pressures mount, these trends are likely to accelerate.Clearly, there is no silver bullet to address this issue. However, one part of the solution is tomake operations more systematic, predictable, and reliable. Conduct of operations (ConOps) isthe execution of operational and management tasks in a deliberate and structured manner. Itinstitutionalizes human reliability and strives to minimize variations in performance. Aneffective ConOps program will help individuals in a “scaled-down” organization make betterdecisions and fewer errors, and reduce the likelihood and severity of incidents.This paper addresses some of the ConOps principles that will be included in the Center forChemical Process Safety’s (CCPS’s) upcoming book on this topic. The paper describes howConOps principles have been applied at a pharmaceutical plant where, over the past two years,there has been a significant reduction in throughput, resulting in a corresponding reduction instaffing. The paper discusses what has been done and what is being planned to ensure that thegoal of reducing fixed costs does not adversely impact stringent demands for maintainingprocess safety performance and product quality standards.
