The Premium Service "Operator Training System" consists of three modules which build upon each other and which can be ordered individually:
Module 1:
Determination, coordination and evaluation of aspects relevant to an OTS
- One-day workshop for qualitative evaluation of the practicability and advantages of an OTS
- Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client with profound knowledge of the process
- Discussion of the process with the client's experts, e.g. on the basis of process flowcharts and descriptions
- Presentation of basic OTS functionalities using different OTS types and examples
- Recording of possible process faults and failures, and identification of critical process steps
- Derivation of OTS tasks, and discussion of potential improvements, with consideration of the plant's special features, the qualification level of the operators, and typical operating modes and failures
- Result: Written documentation of the aspects and advantages elaborated in the workshop, and estimation of the practicability
Module 2:
Preparation of a feasibility study
- One-week feasibility study for detailed processing of an individual OTS (requirements, targets, options for improvement, basic structure)
- Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client
- Provision of the data required for planning the OTS by the client, e.g. process descriptions, flowcharts, process data, models, and model descriptions
- Analysis of all process steps, and selection of the plant components relevant to the OTS
- Investigation of existing process models, and testing of possible modeling approaches
- Discussion and selection of the training situations relevant to the OTS (startup/shutdown, changes in type and products, etc.), fault and failure scenarios
- Planning of the OTS architecture, and selection of suitable components
- Result: Detailed documentation of the planned OTS with the following contents:
- Design and implementation
- Scope of services and delivery
- Schedule and costs for implementation
- Savings potential
Module 3:
Implementation of the produced feasibility study
- Development and installation of an OTS based on the results provided in Modules 1 and 2
- Content is the subject of an individual agreement between client and contractor
- Basis for the individual agreement is a project-specific quotation provided by Siemens as the contractor
- Inquiries for production of a quotation should be directed to the address specified under "Further information"
Note:
The modules of the Premium Service "Operator Training System" do not include any traveling expenses. Traveling expenses from the Hoechst Industrial Estate, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, will be invoiced separately.
