About Our Company
Providing the highest value training and consulting
services related to process safety management, risk
management, and process reliability
Keep up-to-date on Current Events, accidents, and Hints from
PII by visiting our Blog In 2003, the
Process Improvement Institute, Inc. (PII) was founded to
help companies meet their safety, risk, and reliability
challenges. By offering world-class training and consulting
services, the company is based on the outstanding reputation
for quality and excellence of the founders and is building
on this reputation world-wide. The founders have had the
highest reputations in their fields for many years, and each
has considerable experience in meeting client needs while
they worked as managing directors at other consulting
companies or training institutes.
 PII
has already delivered training and consulting services in
the USA, Canada, UK, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab
Emirates; and the list is growing rapidly. We have staff in
the USA and UK, and together we
provide cost effective solutions to clients in Europe and
the Middle East. This international effort helps PII stay focused on implementation of management systems,
support services, and training that will have immediate and
continuing payback of your investment.
Most other consultants and trainers only provide
“compliance” services – we do not. Instead, PII finds the
best approaches to risk management, process safety
management, and reliability management to fit your specific
needs and company culture. This is one reason our company
experts are in such demand world-wide – because we deliver
the highest value of service by customizing what we do to
each client’s need. The other major reason we are in such
demand is because of the many years of industrial experience
of our providers. Each of PII’s experts has many years of
implementation experience as they worked in the chemical and
related industries before becoming consultants and external
trainers. Many other consulting companies will sell you
services and training from “experts” who have only ever been
consultants. This is of little value to you compared to
using consultants and trainers who have learned what works
and doesn’t work by actual experience in settings similar to
yours.
PII and it’s associates specialize consulting and training
in:
- Process safety management (PSM) and risk management
programs (RMPs)
- Management of change (MOC) and PSSR
- Process hazard analysis (PHA), including HAZOP and
FMEA-based studies
- Safety Analysis, including Design Safety Analysis
for US Department of Energy facilities
- Quantitative risk analysis (QRA), including Layer of
Protection Analysis (LOPA)
- Procedure development and writing for operations and
maintenance
- Root cause/failure analysis and development and
incident/accident investigation
- Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) and
mechanical integrity (MI) implementation
We serve clients in a variety of industries and facilities,
including: chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, nuclear,
semiconductor, pharmaceutical, hazardous waste, pulp and
paper, manufacturing, mining, exploration, utilities,
transportation, defense, and aerospace. Our principal
engineers are internationally recognized experts who have
extensive experience in the analysis of complex engineered
systems. Our commitment to quality performance and customer
service is underscored by our high percentage (~80%) of
repeat business.
Our Experts – Your Solutions
PII engineers have years of practical in-plant experience.
During PHAs and other qualitative or quantitative risk
assessments, our experts will choose the best combination of
various risk analysis techniques (such as HAZOP, FMEA,
What-if, LOPA, QRA) weighing how well each method applies to
actual plant systems and operating practices while taking
into account the overall analysis objectives. During
management system implementation assistance, we will bring
together our experiences and merge these with the
experiences of your internal experts to create systems that
fit your company culture. PII personnel have dozens of years
of experience in implementing process safety, risk, and
reliability management systems in chemical plants and other
industrial settings. Many are previous managers of such
systems within chemical plants.
Our experts also have considerable experience helping
clients develop programs to satisfy the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration's (OSHA's) PSM regulation, 29 CFR
1910.119, and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's)
RMP rule, 40 CFR 68, and similar regulations in Europe, such
as Seveso II requirements (COMAH). We are also experts
at Risk-Based Process Safety (RBPS) as explained in the
guideline issues by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS)
of AIChE.
So, whether your needs are implementing comprehensive
management systems for process safety, risk, or reliability
management or are more tightly focused on compliance, our
staff will help you design the optimal combination of
training, coaching, and consulting services to meet the
needs you have. This is the most cost-effective way for you
to quickly acquire the capability you need to develop and
maintain effective management systems and related expertise
such as leading risk reviews, performing incident
investigations and root cause analysis, and managing
changes.
