The foremost challenge that plant operation faces is the cost of maintenance. In
order to reduce that cost, shutdowns & turnarounds have to be planned properly
to avoid unnecessary stoppage time to accommodate unplanned maintenance. A major
scheduled plant shutdown is of short duration (to minimise the loss of
production time) and high intensity (to ensure that plant reliability is
maintained until the next scheduled shutdown cycle). Planning and managing
shutdowns, turnarounds and outages in the process and manufacturing plant
environment is a complex and demanding function. If turnarounds are not properly
planned, managed and controlled, companies run the risks of serious budget
overruns, costly schedule delays and negative impacts on customers. As the plant
shutdown is the major component of plant downtime and maintenance costs, proper
plant turnaround management will have a significant impact on the bottom line.
In that bottom line, many plant operators are still
looking into ways of reducing costs via improved and successful shutdown &
turnaround planning processes. This conference will cover key issues such as
effective shutdown scheduling and planning, executing turnaround successful,
creative contracting strategies, re-engineering shutdown & turnaround
management, health & safety and many more. It aims to discover to discover how
internationally acclaimed plants have implemented cutting-edge innovative
solutions to achieve more accurate, quicker, safer and cost effective
turnarounds.
