Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability
Monday, August 5, 2024|1:30–3:00PM EDT|Banyan 2
This session builds on Session 1 and will focus on the organizational behaviors that enable high levels of equipment performance. After all, INPO IER L2-21-4 clearly identifies key behaviors that are needed to be consistently implemented in order to achieve and sustain high levels of plant reliability. This session will highlight examples of utilities instilling a culture of excellence in equipment reliability through the use of cross-functional teamwork and ownership/accountability. In addition to the actions each utility has taken in direct response to IER L2-21-4, utilities continue to develop methods to continuously monitor and improve behaviors related to improving plant equipment. The speakers in this session will highlight the actions taken by their organization to drive equipment performance improvements, the impetus for those actions, and the benefits realized.
