Course Description

Introduction

In the context of a process plant, organizing and supervising shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages is a difficult task. These are high-risk events because they involve a lot of activity in a short amount of time, ambiguity about the nature of the task, and other unpredictable circumstances. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that an increasing number of businesses are evaluating and improving their turnaround and shutdown procedures.

The expenditures associated with shutdowns and turnarounds might account for as much as 30% of yearly maintenance budgets; moreover, a delay in startup can result in operational profit losses greater than the shutdown/turnaround expenses. It takes a large number of individuals to be redirected and the hiring of outside resources to plan and carry out a turnaround event. Because they can result in significant production losses, a well-thought-out plan can lower expenses. Reducing the length of the outage can significantly lower the price of output lost. Reducing the amount of time that facilities are out of commission may be achieved by increasing the resources available to manage the planning, scheduling, execution, and assistance with facility startup.
