The wisdom of Solomon

Had lunch with one of Solomon’s finest this week.  Solomon has been asked to include advanced control (APC) and alarm management in future benchmarking surveys. 

APC has taken on a bit of a bad rep as companies have not adequately maintained their investments in this area.  Also, some companies struggle with the specific benefits of alarm management.  So words of wisdom from Solomon here should be good news for PAS and other vendors in the area...

I hold a very high respect for Solomon & Associates (www.solomononline.com).  Solomon’s specialty is delivering biennial performance benchmarking results to oil refinery management and then offering consulting services to help management improve their industry ranking. 

Over the years, Solomon & Associates have built up the practice to where even the bonuses of some refinery managers correlates directly to their survey ranking!!  Now what manager would not also buy consulting from the group that helps define his bonus???  Lee Solomon sure knew what he was doing when he left Exxon to set this business up!

I know there's a learning in here and I aim to find and apply it to the PAS business.  We already have a good deal of happy customers that want to do more business with us.  More of the same can only be a good thing....
