AMPS for shutdowns and turnarounds

AMPS addresses the problems every shutdown manager knows: finding the asset, keeping everyone on the current work pack, reaching past documentation, checking personnel and equipment documents, organising dozens of jobs and measuring performance afterwards.

Published · Updated

Typical use cases

  • Creating the assets (a tank farm with tanks as sub-assets) so everyone can navigate to them with Google Maps
  • Keeping the current work pack on each job page with real-time notification when it changes
  • Scanning an asset's QR code for the history of past jobs, reports and who did them
  • Tracking working-at-heights, confined-space and calibration documents with one-month expiry flags
  • Grouping all shutdown jobs in a job group and reading statuses per asset
  • Comparing shutdown performance, cost and time allocation in Power BI

The problem

A shutdown puts multiple teams, assets and jobs on one site at the same time with a hard deadline. The case study lists the recurring failures: nobody can find the asset, documents are re-sent endlessly, past reports are scattered, certificates and calibrations are unknown, jobs are not organised and performance is not measured.

How AMPS runs a shutdown

Create the assets first, for example a tank farm with five tanks as sub-assets, so everyone can navigate to them with Google Maps. Keep the work pack on each job page; updates notify everyone in real time and reports uploaded to the job inform supervisor, client and stakeholders instantly. Scan an asset’s QR code for its history: past jobs, who did them, how long they took, related documents. Track personnel and equipment documents on their page with the one-month expiry flag. Group the jobs in a job group and read statuses per asset.

Afterwards

All AMPS data is available to Power BI, which is how customers compare job or shutdown performance, costs and time allocation.

Frequently asked questions

How do we stop sending the same work pack to everyone repeatedly?
Each job page in AMPS contains the most up-to-date documents. When a document is updated, everyone is notified in real time, so there is one current work pack per job instead of copies in inboxes.
How do we see the overall status of the shutdown?
Group the shutdown's jobs in a job group, for example "Mount Eden Tank Farm 2024". AMPS shows job statuses on each asset's jobs tab, so reporting the overall status is a matter of reading which jobs are in progress, not started or finished.
How do we check contractor certificates at the gate?
The personnel and equipment page tracks documents such as working-at-heights certificates, confined-space certifications and equipment calibration forms, and the flag system has warned one month before any of them expire.
