- Abstract
- The development process of piping and instrumentaion diagrams (P&IDs) is inefficient and problematic. The symptoms of this inefficiency have been recognized by the industry leaders as artifically frozen P&IDs and later P&ID changes. The researchers conducted two phases of personal interviews with industry experts to identify problems and their sources, and to collect best practices. In the first phase of interviews, influential factors, P&ID development, and four key drives of the symptoms were identified. The second phase of interviews resulted in best practices and many useful soltuion tools.
