Tracez team has many years of experience in developing POMs for both green and brown projects.

A Plant Operating Manual (POM) is a reference or guidance document used by operations personnel during the normal running phase of a project or plant. A POM is not a training manual or a pre-commissioning or commissioning manual. The POMs should not be overloaded with "nice-to-know" material but must contain all the essential "must-know" information.
