1. 01

   Run operations

   Boiler, flue gas treatment, thermal cycle and auxiliaries. The site runs day and night, and an unplanned shutdown is felt straight away by customers. Your first indicators: availability, efficiency, unplanned shutdowns.

2. 02

   Make maintenance reliable

   Preventive and corrective work on a CMMS, critical equipment to make reliable, subcontractors to manage. You prepare and lead the annual major overhaul within budget. A measured drop in unplanned shutdowns is expected.

3. 03

   Secure the fuel supply

   Quality, stocks and flows, with suppliers and hauliers. Fuel quality drives efficiency and emissions, and therefore the result.

4. 04

   Recruit, train and retain shift leaders

   This is the hard part. It takes several months of training before a shift leader is autonomous, and then you have to keep them: the whole industrial market is competing for their electromechanical and automation skills. The role is won or lost here.

5. 05

   Own the work organisation

   The shift pattern and on-call duty need to evolve. You carry the project and negotiate it with staff representatives.

6. 06

   Safety and environment

   DUERP (occupational risk assessment), prevention plans, hot work permits, ATEX, compliance with the operating permit, monitoring of discharges. Compliance with the operating permit is your personal responsibility.

7. 07

   Run the operating account

   Operating budget, CAPEX, cost per MWh, monthly reporting to management. No one stands between you and the result.

8. 08

   Prepare what comes next

   The site's economics need securing for the years ahead. You cost the scenarios, build the investment plan and carry the site's trajectory in front of management. This is a general management issue, from the first year.
