Inspectioneering Journal is the first publication focused on mechanical integrity and reliability issues in the chemical and refining industries. The authors and staff aim to provide the oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical industries with the latest information to optimally manage equipment risk and reliability, cradle to grave. IJ gives readers an edge by delivering up-to-date equipment life-cycle management information that is relevant to their industry. IJ assists readers in assuring regulatory and corporate compliance, reliable use of equipment for finite run times, while measuring, managing and minimizing risks and eliminating non-value adding activities and costs. << Prev Next >> Scalable Accuracy: Inspection Planning and RBIPosted by Gregory Alvarado on 2012-02-19 17:53:05 CSTStephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, provides a lot of good advice for leaders. For example:
You may be thinking to yourself: “How does this apply to me? I am not in a leader- ship role. My company does not lead the way, we satisfy a defined need within our industry.” If this, or some variant of, is what you are thinking, I challenge you to think again. Leading is something done at the beginning of the journey. Every time we step in to a new role, explore unfamiliar territory, or challenge those around us, however simple or complicated the situation may have been, we are crossing areas that others have yet to go. In essence, leading the way. If asked to think about what leadership roles you have played in your life, some will be obvious, e.g. father, mother, uncle, aunt, etc. While you may not be a manager within your organization, leading is not limited to management. read more...The Role of Record-Keeping and Data Management in Achieving Excellence in Pressure Equipment Integrity and ReliabilityPosted by John Reynolds on 2012-02-13 10:26:48 CST
Clearly, record-keeping and data management have a major role in achieving excellence in pressure equipment integrity and reliability (PEI&R). Everything else we do to achieve excellence in PEI&R stems from keeping high quality and complete PEI&R records, as well as doing all the necessary data analysis. Without good records and data management, we're severely handicapped in trying to achieve excellence in all ten of the PEI&R management systems outlined in this series of articles. read more...<< Prev Next >> 
“I would like to take a minute to recommend the Inspectioneering Journal to anyone involved with Mechanical Integrity, Inspection or Reliability in Petroleum and Chemical Refining and Utility process facilities. These disciplines are as much experiential as science and engineering and the IJ offers a wealth of experience and techniques to improve reliability. It is a must have item for the 'Reliability Tool Box'.” Tony Rutkowski, Mechanical Integrity Specialist, A J Rutkowski LLC“Just a note to let you know how valuable the Inspectioneering Journal is to us. We particularly like the annual index summary, calendar event section, and articles written by our peers who speak the same language. The Journal is easy to read and it has even more value now that it is in digital format. We find that it is a very useful tool keeping us abreast of new and improved inspection technologies. Keep up the good work!” Mike Badeen, Corporate HSE Auditor, ConocoPhillips“For many years I have followed the Inspectioneering Journal - and still find it of great interest. By giving us themed articles such as the 101 Essential Elements in a Pressure Equipment Integrity Management Program and the 99 Diseases of Pressure Equipment, the Journal brings the fundamental building blocks back into focus. This is important, as it is so easy to get swamped in the detail of our day to day work. We all win with the Inspectioneering Journal!” Mike J. Tosio, QA Manager, Horizon Oil Sands, CNRL |
