An uncomfortable observation in the Shift Logs and Process Control
records of most aluminum smelting plants is that process control
failures, large and small, happen every day. Although only a small
fraction of these failures give rise to catastrophic events, the
difference between a disaster we read about and a failure which,
although expensive, has no irreversible consequences, is only
chance. Control for Aluminum Production and Other Processing
Industries exemplifies new control thinking fused with an
understanding of process variability, and how to diagnose
abnormalities and their causes in aluminum production plants. Many
real life examples in the book demonstrate the importance of human
behavior and a scientific, questioning approach in the control of a
technologically complex process. Written from the perspective of
production staff and management, the book also gives readers a view
into the human aspects of accidents and their analogy with failures
in control of production. Production plants regularly experience
more control failures than successes and staff must continuously
strive to establish stability and control of their process. Through
on-the-job experiences of the authors and their industry
colleagues, the control experiences described in this book provide
readers with a foundation for building their own robust control
rationale and a framework for avoidance of plant control problems.
