  25. Major Challenges • Cut-over the entire system and integrate with PVC DBN project in just 14 days Management provided window of 14 days during ATA to make system up and running including new addition of PVC DBN Project It was very challenging considering the fact similar task would take not less than 21 days as per industry norms

  26. Major Challenges • Cut-over the entire system and integrate with PVC DBN project in just 14 days • Hardware execution by Yokogawa and Software execution by Oxy-Vinyl, Process Licensor PVC DBN Project, Batch Process Software Enhancement and Lack of Pseudo-codes for MODCOMP programs were driving force to involve Process Licensor, Oxy-Vinyl for Application Software Development

  27. Major Challenges • Cut-over the entire system and integrate with PVC DBN project in just 14 days • Hardware execution by Yokogawa and Software execution by Oxy-Vinyl, Process Licensor • Lack of Pseudo code or Logic Narratives for MODCOMP Batch programs and HIMA Logic For some reasons, Plant did not have these very vital documents to understand basis of application and subsequent approval of new application development

  28. Major Challenges • Cut-over the entire system and integrate with PVC DBN project in just 14 days • Hardware execution by Yokogawa and Software execution by Oxy-Vinyl, Process Licensor • Lack of Pseudo code or Logic Narratives for MODCOMP Batch programs and HIMA Logic • Lack of Ferrules/Tags on each and every wires Unbelievable but true… None of the wires in the plant, whether in field JB or Control room had Ferrules/Tags on them Since It was require to disconnect and re-connect more than 16,000 wires in control room it could create real chaos!!

  29. Major Challenges • Cut-over the entire system and integrate with PVC DBN project in just 14 days • Hardware execution by Yokogawa and Software execution by Oxy-Vinyl, Process Licensor • Lack of Pseudo code or Logic Narratives for MODCOMP Batch programs and HIMA Logic • Lack of Ferrules/Tags on each and every wires • As-Built condition of Plant Wiring Even though Plant documentation is updated regularly, about 18 years of Plant Operations and Hundreds of Plant Modifications calls for exact mapping of plant conditions We were not prepared to take even smallest of chance which could cost us a lot later

  30. Major Challenges • Cut-over the entire system and integrate with PVC DBN project in just 14 days • Hardware execution by Yokogawa and Software execution by Oxy-Vinyl, Process Licensor • Lack of Pseudo code or Logic Narratives for MODCOMP Batch programs and HIMA Logic • Lack of Ferrules/Tags on each and every wires • As-Built condition of Plant Wiring • Integrate with existing Electronic HIMA MCC Modules VCM Upgrade gave us hard lesson when apparently simple interface turned out to be CRITICAL during start-up
