Leading consultants for fossil-fired power generation facilities will show how to leverage benchmarking data to improve margins and operating efficiency.
COLOGNE, Germany, April 12, 2011 – Solomon Associates, the leading performance improvement company for the global energy industry, announced that the Solomon Associates European Executive Summit 2011 will be held here at the Hyatt Regency June 21-22. Now in its fourth year, the event will include educational sessions and one-on-one meetings to help attendees leverage benchmarking data to optimize operational performance.
“Power generation companies in Europe and around the world participate in Solomon Associates benchmarking studies to see how they compare to their peers,” said Ed Platt, vice president of power for Solomon Associates. “This event will help operators utilize their benchmarking data to initiate targeted, systematic performance improvement programs that will achieve long-term results.”
Topics covered in the two-day event include:
• how to identify, quantify, and prioritize opportunities for improvement based on benchmarking data;
• how to determine appropriate key performance indicators for a power generation facility based on the operator’s objectives and unique characteristics of the plant;
• the most common reasons that performance improvement initiatives fail, and how to overcome these challenges; and
• the keys to initiating and sustaining a successful performance improvement program.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with industry peers and to schedule private, one-on-one sessions with Solomon Associates experts, who will offer insights and advice on participants’ specific performance priorities, challenges, and concerns.
