Operational Readiness - setting yourself up for success
Educational Session
Reedy hall 2
 With only a few exceptions in aerospace and the military, we see capital projects completed and thrown over the fence to operations. In the worst cases, the projects are not even complete and it is up to maintenance to finish off the work. Start ups are often plagued with problems that could have been avoided with a little bit of fore-thought. Start ups tend to be plauged by breakdowns, wrong spares, no spares, rush orders, missing documentation, incomplete documentation and guesswork brought on by a lack of adequate training. All of that is avoidable with Operational Readiness. James will present the concepts with examples from his past experience along with a business case for spending that little extra on capital.
