Monitor Installation

By the time you have successfully tested and refined your new PSM systems and installation is underway (Chapter 7), you and your team have passed a significant milestone. Congratulations are in order- ut there is still more to be done. The good news is that at this point most of the effort shifts from the PSM team to your company s facilities. As a result, your role will change from directing a project to monitoring its local implementation. 

Measuring and monitoring PSM installation helps assure consistency and quality control in addition, effective monitoring helps keep local expenditures and schedules on track. In effect, these activities protect the investment you, your team, and your company have made in the course of your work so fac and for this reason they warrant continuing attention. 

As part of planning your company s PSM system roll-out (Chapter 7), you have established a number of benchmarks and parameters for the installation process. For example, pilot testing should yield realistic estimates for individual facilities schedule, staffing, and other resource requirements, as well as workable formats for reporting. The installation plan you developed should derive from these results, adapting them to the full range of your company s operations. 

This experience—and the plans you developed from it—helps create a framework for monitoring the instdlation process. This process comprises two primary components

Measure and monitor. Installation at the test sites will be closely monitored against an established timetable, as well as in terms of our established PSM criteria and goals. Throughout this process, we will solicit feedback and other commentary from the pilot sites for incorporation into ongoing process improvement. 

Vacuum pumps on all furnaces should have run monitors installed and interlocked to ensure that the pump itself (not just the pump motor) is operating. 

Are there on-line monitors installed, for example, for the measurement of biofilm, scale, or corrosion Do they work What do they tell you What value is placed on this equipment by the operators Could this equipment be used to provide independent information in any subsequent trial ...

The plant has now beoi recommissioned with neutron monitors installed on all vessels that are not safe by shape. The vessel drain lutes have also been modified to facilitate positive drainage and washout procedures. 

Currently plastics represent around 13% of the total weight of a medium-sized car and industry experts believe that 90% of future car design improvements and innovations will have an electronic content such as electronic tyre pressure monitors installed to improved road safety. The ultimate tyre pressure monitor has been fitted to the world s fastest road car, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. Its wheel electronics comprise a military grade battery, absolute pressure sensor, temperature sensor, accelerometer micro-controller and radio transmitter/receiver which are housed in a compact wheel housing made from PEEK. 

Concerning the viewing angles (inonitot) and (Omonitor) of the monitor polar coordinate system (see Fig. 21) and the distance between monitor and eye point (amonitor) each eye point position of the driver relative to the monitor installed in the vehicle can be discribed [90, p. 22]. 

Stmctural-monitoring installations are usually done under cover, and additional weather protection is not required, but the instmment may have to be protected from human activity or other disturbances. Normally a pier is not required, since the sensor may be anchored directly to a stmctural element. GPS reception for time synchronism may be a problem if the station is far from the open sky (e.g., in a dam gallery), but there exist technical solutions e.g., a GPS receiver may be outside, and the signal is repeated the accelerograph may be... 

The primary-side operator returned to his station and began monitoring the pressure in the pressurizer, which was near the PORV set point of 2425 psig. The PORV then opened and he watched the pressure decrease. The indicator in front of him signaled that there was a closed signal to the PORV and that it should be closed. The acoustic monitor installed after the TMI accident was available to him to verify that the PORV was closed, but he did not look at it. Instead, he looked at the indicated pressurizer level, which appeared steady, and based on simulator training, he concluded that the PORV was closed. In fact, the PORV had not completely closed and, as a result, the pressure... 

Various tests were performed to quantify energy efficiency gains and process control improvements, using a combination of bench-top setups and production rans on a laboratory injection molding machine. A samphng of the results is presented herein. Additional lab tests are underway and envisioned, as are monitored installations on a spectrum of production machines.
