Scope is dependent on the needs and situation of the client, yet generally falls into one of the following categories:

Control Performance Study - Investigation that may be a control strategy review or a limited investigation around part of a process. A consultant will inspect the process, gather data manually, and identify and prioritize critical opportunities for improvement. Involves testing the process online, identifying process dynamics and non-linearities, optimizing controller tuning, and recommending improvements to control strategy, control equipment, and process control configuration.

Control Performance Project - Includes all the study scope above but in greater detail, with onsite measurements or computer simulation, calculation of return-on-investment, and implementation of selected control improvement recommendations. It may focus on identifying and removing the source of process problems for a particular process unit or area.

Control Performance Program - A sustained effort for ongoing variability reduction after initial control performance improvements have been made. Includes scheduled plant visits by a consultant for periodic checks, adjustments, and continuous improvement analysis. Often involves training to allow plant personnel to sustain increased performance.

Specialized Services - Pre-Shutdown Control Performance Service for identifying and prioritizing critical control items to focus on during a turnaround. Control Performance Start-up Service to help ensure smooth startup of new control designs or strategies. Emerson EVI (EnTech Variability Index) for benchmarking and reducing product variability on paper machines.
