6 Important Questions
On the journey to develop employees into autonomous
decision-makers (i.e., make them Experts) how much is
1 less day of training worth to you?
What does it cost to bring in an “outsider” SME versus
advancing someone from your own “bench?”
How much is a 1% improvement in operator effectiveness
worth to you?
How much would you save if you could eliminate 1 day of
commissioning and startup?
How much would you save if you could eliminate just 1
unplanned shutdown per year?
How much is 1 less reportable incident worth to you?
