The Foundation for Operational Readiness
Build long-term performance into your capital project from day one.
Bringing a new facility online or executing a capital project is a major investment. While timelines and budgets often take center stage, long-term success depends on how reliably and efficiently your operation performs after startup.
Too often, reliability is treated as an afterthought—resulting in delays, missed production targets, and rising maintenance costs. LCE’s Pre-Startup Reliability approach integrates proven reliability practices into your project plan from the start, helping you reduce risk, accelerate ramp-up, and build a foundation for sustained performance.
