Business Portfolio
The Complete Liutaio Business Portfolio
The Business Portfolio brings together the engineering discussion developed around the behaviour of complex industrial plants, the engineering situations that may arise, and the principles used to address them.
The Business Portfolio develops the engineering discussion through:
-
The Operational Paradox — why apparently acceptable plant operation may still conceal significant engineering limitations;
-
Hidden Mechanisms in Operating Plants — how interactions between process behaviour, control, instrumentation, equipment and operating practices can shape plant behaviour;
-
Different Engineering Situations — three situations in which an organization may need to understand what is happening, solve a known engineering problem, or obtain an independent technical perspective;
-
Engineering Philosophy — the principles that guide technical reasoning, including evidence, understanding actual plant behaviour, independent technical judgment and reduction of technical uncertainty;
-
Starting the Technical Conversation — how the preceding engineering discussion can provide a basis for examining a situation related to a plant, project or engineering decision.
The Business Portfolio therefore provides a more complete view of how engineering situations can be understood and how the technical decisions can be approached.
When You Need More Detail
If one of these engineering situations resembles circumstances in your plant or project, the Business Portfolio provides an opportunity to examine the underlying reasoning in greater detail.
The Next Step
If you would like to revisit the engineering discussion page by page, choose the most convenient topic from the menu.
If you would like to examine the engineering discussion in greater detail, you can open the Business Portfolio.
If you already have a plant, project or engineering situation in mind, you can proceed directly to a technical conversation.
