A method for generating and maintaining procedures for plant operation the method comprising:

a. Decomposing a plant into process units;b. Decomposing each process unit into equipment modules (high-level objects);c. Decomposing equipment modules into equipment units (low-level objects);d. Defining operational states for equipment modules and equipment units;e. Generating a procedures for changing operational states for equipment units;f. Generating a procedures for changing operational states for equipment modules;g. Encapsulating all the equipment units procedures and equipment modules procedures into process unit operations preferably in a computer database;h. Providing feedback for presentation of the operational procedures and state changing operating procedures from the preferred database to an operator upon request;i. Revising single equipment unit or equipment module operating procedure or state changing operating procedure upon request from the operator;wherein, the method allows the operator to receive a detailed description of an operating procedure for change of state of any process unit, equipment unit or equipment module in the plant from any state to any state.
