Shutdowns that overrun are the single biggest driver of cost
in large capital asset maintenance programmes. By raising
awareness of planned shutdowns and activities required,
together with more effective scheduling and visibility of
resource constraints, the solution can significantly reduce
the risk of overruns or uncompleted work.
Reduces the likelihood of conflicting work requiring activity in
the same physical space or making use of the same resources.
It also enables work requiring isolation of specific systems to
be carried out together.
Clear Red/Amber/Green indicators and custom reports show
schedule and work performance against targets set at weekly
and quarterly planning meetings. These can be monitored
and reviewed.
When maintenance activities are not completed on time, the
risk to health and safety increases dramatically. By enabling
more effective planning and giving managers real visibility and
control over maintenance plans, the likelihood of slippage
and non completion is significantly reduced.

The visibility of constraints such as lifting, rigging, access and
hazards, allows planners to assess the impacts on schedules
and mitigate these.
 Creating a central repository of vital information using
SharePoint technologies drives reduction in duplication
of documents, increased visibility of key information, and
a greater control over the maintenance function.
Backlog activity is clearly visible and can therefore be easily
included in emerging schedules.
Providing a clear view of demand by trade means that more
accurate predictions of resource requirements can be made.
This is vital where specific skills are scarce or where logistics
restrictions such as persons on board or transportation
limitations mean resources may not always be available
when required. |
