title: Commissioning.
abstract: Commissioning, or "starting up," a new facility is described in this article as the management of change. The authors make a strong case for commissioning to be a strategic issue addressed by professionals on the project team almost from the beginning of project design. The paper makes a useful distinction between engineering commissioning (the energized system) and operational commissioning (the human system); and they address both in highly specific terms.
