Do not let other people tell you what to conclude or what to inspect. Sometimes people (operators/mechanics/electricians etc,) will try to influence you by saying:

 

bullet

We have already looked at that item (ie: inspected the dampers; checked the screw etc.).

bullet

We have never had a problem with, for example, dust filling up a hopper.

 

Always confirm any item for your self. If you can not confirm a problem firsthand, do not discount its value. Simply place it on a mental backburner and list it as a possibility of occurrence.

This particular building block is the one that has burnt me the most when I have ignored it. I have had people get angry at me when I have insisted on looking inside a system that they swear on a stack of Bibles is in good working order.

 

When we look, the problems we find have been dismissed as “I only had a very short time to look”. It’s unbelievable sometimes.

 

Make sure you talk to all the right people involved with the system. This could be:

bullet

The operators.

bullet

The plant engineer who installed the system.

bullet

The maintenance worker who looks after the system on a daily basis.

bullet

The person who empties the hopper.

bullet

Each person will provide a small part to the big picture. One person will usually not know everything that has happened to a system.

bullet

What you are trying to do is to establish:
bullet

The design details.

bullet

The present actual operating details.

bullet

An overview of how the system is presently cared for or maintained.

 

Every participant will have a different story. Not all changes made to a system will be communicated to everyone involved. Sometimes individual process operators will make changes without communicating to anyone:

 

bullet

I have seen large processes changed by each individual on a shift-to-shift basis because there was no written SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) written:

 

bullet

This particular situation resulted in four floors of production area being dusted out every third shift. The operator on this shift reset the panel control position for the main exhaust fan damper to a position they thought was “normal”. By opening the damper, additional product was pulled into the baghouse, and this caused the screw conveyor and dump valve to flood out due to dust overload.
