| Abstract: | The Public Service Company of Colorado asked the author to work on a project team formed to improve the availability of a coal-fired steam generator at an electric power plant. Plant personnel had been trying unsuccessfully for several years to reduce system downtime. The author recognized that the plant could make immediate improvements by reducing the duration of breakdowns rather than their frequency. The company initially estimated the payoff for these improvements at $544,000 annually, but has since revised it upward. |
