“We should continuously be seeking how we can do our jobs better,” Kiihne said, in a session titled “Instilling a Zero Loss of Containment Mindset” at the Operational Excellence in Refining and Petrochemicals Summit held recently in Houston, Texas. “Even if you’re world-class, you should be seeking to better yourself.”
Kiihne added that identifying weaknesses, implementing necessary changes and then checking performance are three imperative considerations when striving for continuous improvement.
