Flowchart review
Thread Content
The new project at the company has started, and German Mannesmann compressors are being used. Recently, the company assigned me to review the flowcharts. This is my first time doing this, and I’m not very familiar with it. Could someone experienced give me some guidance? 1 What are the key points for reviewing flowcharts? 2. Why is it necessary to conduct flowchart reviews early on? Is it required by the organization or mandated by law?
Does anyone know what the standards are for reviewing tag numbers in flowcharts? Thank you
\"Regulations on the Design and Management of Process Systems\" HG20557-1993
Flowchart design is part of process design; when it comes to equipment, the focus in flowcharts is on the protection procedures and logic related to the equipment, such as anti-surge measures for centrifuges.
Assign someone who has no idea what the work involves to carry out the review. This company is really too careless.
The company’s decision is fine. This is my first time attending this conference, and I’m not sure if my understanding is correct; I’d like to gather more insights by discussing things with others. Unlike people like you who are arrogant and think they know better than others at everything as soon as they do it.
Those who don’t understand how to conduct reviews should study it*
This isn’t called flowchart review; it’s the acceptance of technical documents. First, it is necessary to check whether all the technical documents that the other party is required to provide under the contract have been supplied; secondly, it is important to ensure that the content and depth of these technical documents meet the requirements for production, installation, operation, and maintenance. Third, whether the key technical parameters of the equipment fully meet the requirements specified in the contract, and whether safety and environmental protection aspects such as noise and vibration satisfy the **standard requirements. Fourth, the supplier’s technical staff and sales personnel should explain the product processing, manufacturing, installation procedures, as well as operation and maintenance aspects. Any points that are not clear need to be clarified by the supplier. It is important to ensure that the descriptions provided by the supplier’s technical staff are in line with the requirements specified in the contract, so as to avoid discrepancies. Fifth, whether the spare parts are sufficient to meet the equipment’s needs for two years, and whether there are any spare parts that need to be added. Wait a moment; I still need to consult experienced seniors.
I think what you’re referring to might not be a flowchart review; flowcharts are related to the entire system, and individual devices generally do not have flowcharts, though there are exceptions – such as those that require auxiliary equipment (like fans) or those that need control pipelines installed internally (like burners). I suggest you talk things through with your company to find out what needs to be done. If it’s beyond your capabilities, don’t hesitate to mention it; ask the company to assign an experienced person to guide you. If the company insists on sending you alone, it’s possible that the task really doesn’t require much experience. In that case, it’s advisable to keep a record of everything according to the established procedures, to report any uncertainties, and not to make decisions on your own.
