Utilization of Handheld Computing to Trend Improvements in Compliance

Abstract

Monitoring job site performance and building a continually improving organization is an ongoing challenge for operators of process and power generation facilities. Stakeholders need to accurately capture records of quality and safety compliance, job progress, and operational experiences (OPEX). This paper will provide an overview of the utilization of handheld computing to capture field information on ongoing operational procedures and the application of web-based reporting applications to analyze trends in operations and reveal opportunities for improvement. The authors will provide a discussion on the use of handheld technology and its impact on simplifying and continually improving procedural compliance.
