- Abstract:
- Oil & Gas environment, during the last ten years, has experienced the need to improve product performance covering aspects going from its increased functionality, maintenance, reliability and safety, towards reduced time delivery and cost. Some of them have been required by customer and some of them are indeed essential to meet even more stringing international regulations, imposing high standard of product quality. Nowadays the product process improvement has scored by implementing lesson learnt, rose during the manufacturing phase or by means of feedback coming from field. It’s easy to understand that, this way of product improvement affects, consistently and negatively, cost, time and, above all, customer satisfaction. The emphasis on products performances development has encouraged designer to look at strategic management, engineering, marketing, and other disciplines to study the new design process focused, not only on reaching a good compromise among the afore mentioned aspects, but the optimum. Deep Analysis on this obsolete product improvement process, has carried out the necessity to move the validation and verification phase product directly during the design phase, looking at it as, not only an isolate design phase, but inserted in a design cycle where solutions on product functionality and its reliability are continuously validated and verified. This new way to conceive design, directly on the early stage of a project, leads towards the optimum compromise between: functionality, maintenance, reliability, safety, and reduced time delivery, cost reduction, and reduce cycle time to better incorporate customer and supplier requirements in the product and process design. Computer aided design, modelling and simulation of product, involving different design disciplines, (system, instrumentation, control and reliability) in the same environment, becomes an imperative to target this goal.
