Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Francis,

"Hot" usually is used for operational areas.

It depends on your industry, the general meaning is self explanatory, but the exact meaning you need to get from the "Process" guys.

With kind regards,

Samer

I’ll have a go Francis - the trouble is the definition usually depends on the context in which the phrase is being used.

Tie-in: Something that is related or connected to another; an association or connection between things; the act or method of joining two disparate systems.

Hot changeover: The switch from one system to another with minimum downtime, preferably none. If possible the new system is started before the old system is decommissioned and the two systems run in parallel until the new system is proved.

Hook up: Generally to connect a mechanism and a source of power.
