Shutdown and turnaround

A shutdown (turnaround, TAR or outage) is a planned period in which a plant or unit is taken out of service so that inspections, maintenance, repairs and modifications that cannot be done during operation are completed on a compressed schedule.

What goes wrong

People cannot find the asset, the latest work pack is in someone’s inbox, last year’s report is on a laptop, a technician’s confined-space certificate expired last week, and nobody can say which of the fifty jobs are finished.

Shutdowns in AMPS

Create the assets (a tank farm with tanks as sub-assets) so everyone can navigate to them with Google Maps; keep the current work pack on each job page with real-time notification on update; scan the asset QR code for its history; track working-at-heights, confined-space and calibration documents with one-month expiry flags; group the jobs into a job group for the shutdown; read job statuses per asset; and compare shutdown performance, costs and time in Power BI.
