Our main topic today is the presentation by Alan Hanratty (Phusion IM): “Handover – The Hangover”
Although the importance of having a robust and accurate EIM infrastructure at the point of project handover and beyond is being increasingly recognised by many asset intensive businesses, as evidenced by an increase in investment and awareness across the industry in recent years, there still exists a strong argument that the benefits are falling short of expectations.
There are several reasons handovers engender 'hangovers' of varying severity, depriving businesses of true benefits. This presentation aims to highlight some of them and, more specifically, how poor ones can spell trouble for operators throughout the asset life-cycle as well as the strategies that can be adopted to fix them.
Alan is an experienced global sales professional who has worked in several leading commercial roles in the Chemicals, Polymers and O&G sectors over a 25 year period for numerous blue-chip organisations selling and promoting a variety of products ranging from process technologies, unique and commodity catalysts systems, and led the delivery of a number of turnkey O&G projects in the Middle East. Although he confesses he’s not an IM expert having just joined the sector, he does have extensive experience of the challenges one might face from an operations perspective accessing reliable engineering information from asset registers across various points of an asset’s life cycle.
