Operational plant status
1. Identification of capital items impeding efficiency gains (I.e. Critical plant and equipment due for replacement / return on investment)
2. Identification of operational items impeding efficiency gains (I.e. maintenance practices)
3. Identification of operational plant issues of a critical nature which may prevent catastrophic failure resulting in excessive repair / replacement costs.
Targets
