摘要

Unfortunately,you seem to have a relatively short three-month window to accomplish a wide scope of work,the most crucial being addreBing safety concerns.Perhaps your sales group or management is unaware of the accident-prone state the dryer is in.First,get a realistic time estimate to accomplish various tasks you listed.(Please don't forget the time required for a hazard and operability study,pre-startup safety review,and operator training.)I used the word"realistic"because additional uncertainty created by recent supply chain problems throws a monkey wrench at our otherwise carefully developed estimates.See,"Sensibly Estimate Project Time and Cost,"p.7,for tips on coming up with proper cost estimates amid the pandemic Communicate time and cost estimates as well as safety concerns to sales/management groups.In a strange way,this could prove to be an opportunity to fix long-standing mechanical and safety iBues of the dryer.
