RECENT NEWS
Beville Engineering, in conjunction with Wright State University, is proud to announce the debut of the Center for Operator Performance.

The Center is an alliance of academic and process companies to research generic issues in human factors and process operator performance. Visit the website for more information.

OUR METHOD
Our approach is one of tailoring our services to our clients' needs, rather than trying to adjust our clients to fit our methods.

We implement an on-site, "hands-on" approach to gauge the causes of problems, and then seek to solve the problems through the manipulation of various workload and human performance variables.

ON-SITE AUDIT
One day on-site plant audit now available. View info.

WHO WE ARE

Beville Engineering is a refinery and petrochemical industry leader in the field of human factors engineering and analysis services.

Beville has enabled numerous oil refineries, chemical/gas plants and pipelines to substantially reduce costs and improve performance associated with staffing management and man-machine interface issues.

We have also helped many companies diminish safety issues through our analytic approaches to solving human performance problems.


OUR EXPERIENCE/DATABASE
Beville has completed over 300 projects for the major oil companies, including BP, Chevron, Citgo, Conoco/Phillips, Shell, Valero, Nova, ExxonMobil and others. 
During the past two decades, we have compiled our accumulated data from a variety of refineries and other process plants into a large database that enables us to make individual company/unit comparisons to industry averages.

For steady state operations alone, we have amassed nearly 4 man-years of directly observed data. We have a vast quantity of data available for the other facets of workload as well.

These comparisons then allow our customers to see where they stand in relation to the rest of the industry. They are the starting blocks for many of our analyses, for they show where a company needs to improve in order to become more profitable.
