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.
