Frame the opportunity
Agree on the process boundary, improvement objective and operating constraints. Define how success will be measured before changing operating targets.

+ 04 / IMPLEMENTATION
Start with the process question. Establish the data. Make the result useful to the people running the plant.

Agree on the process boundary, improvement objective and operating constraints. Define how success will be measured before changing operating targets.
Review measurement quality, historian access, time alignment and connectivity. Agree the data and control interfaces with the site’s technical teams.
Compare estimates with independent measurements where available. Review recommendations with operators and engineers under representative conditions.
Progress to approved setpoint interfaces where appropriate. Monitor model performance, maintain the application and revisit objectives as the plant changes.
Deployment and access arrangements are defined with each operation. Data availability, approved connectivity and the chosen application determine the implementation scope.
