Standards |

A
company's engineering standards and specifications are fundamental to the
safety, reliability, operability, maintainability, and cost effectiveness of
its process plants. Unfortunately,
maintenance and updating of engineering standards is often neglected.
|
|
|
Budgetary
constraints often result in the standards maintenance function being
drastically curtailed or eliminated.
|
|
|
In times
of high work load, the engineering staff is often too busy with more
immediate needs to give the company standards the attention they require.
|
|
|
Maintaining,
revising, and writing new engineering standards is not glamorous nor
"high tech" work, but it is necessary, especially in these times
of lower manpower and average experience levels of company engineering staff
and increased regulatory attention.

KICC
can assist in this area by focusing on the standards and not being
distracted by the other demands that your engineering staff must deal with.
Our approach is to learn as much as possible about our client's needs and
engineering design philosophy, develop drafts of the appropriate revisions
or new standards, and discuss these with your engineering staff until final
agreement is reached.
|
|
|
We do not replace your staff in this important
function, but relieve them of most of the burden. They can focus only on
information transfer and review without the burden of checking for
consistency, compliance with industry standards, and production.
