| 49 | | Currently, suppliers to a plant project usually deal with an EPC rather than the end Owner/Operator. But from the supplier's point of veiw, one disadvantage not dealing directly with the O/O is that necessary information might not get through. The information that is of most value to a design engineer is different than what is of most value to an Owner/Operator. A design engineer wants to know things like "Is it the correct equipment" and "How big is it", while operators want to know things like "How can I keep it working" and "How can I fix it if it breaks". A major issue with O/Os is that the things it, the O/O wants, are not always provided from the EPC. With ISO 15926-enabled software, much of that information can be supplied with the original datasheet information. |
