Successful Turnaround

Industrial plant projects are characterised by their production processes. High complexity, state of the art technologies, efficient functions, availability, ecology, economy, commissioning and maintenance need professional systems and methods.
For years, key accounts have been relying on our professional experience in managing turnaround/shutdown projects of the chemical industry.

Organisation: Shutdown organisation & Management systems, Scope definition, Change management, Reporting
Deadlines: Scheduling and schedule control, Engineering & procurement, Resource planning
Cost: Budget baselines, Cost control, Procurement, Invoice approvals
Contract & Claims Management

Clear targets and professional monitoring and control from planning to commissioning are fundamental elements of a perfect project management.

Reduced turnarounds / shutdowns by dedicated control of risks in all phases

1. Initiating, Planning

Risks / adverse effects		Mitigation measure / recommendation
Increased information requirements and possible loss of information
Numerous stakeholders Unknown processes Quality, deadlines and cost		Implementation of reporting system Implementation of baselines and schedules Implementation of coordination meetings List of open points (LOP) Projektsteuerer / Terminsteuerer

Undefined methods, processes, delayed decisions
Newly created project teams Less experience regarding interfaces to 3rd parties Quality, deadlines and cost		Implementation of a clearly structured shutdown organisation Preparation of project organisation manual Project control

Delayed attendance to interfaces
Countless subcontractors and disciplines Short turnaround / shutdown durations Quality, deadlines and cost		Scheduling and schedule control Define interface matrix and procedures, interface management & coordination Project control

Insufficient planning
Changes and additional works Uncontrolled cost deviations and undesirable developments Deadlines and cost		Implementation of change management system Define and control procedures Cost control Project control, Contract & Claims Manager

2. Stillstand, Shutdown

Risks / adverse effects		Mitigation measure / recommendation
Frequent scope changes
Late scope definition Cascading changes due to late decisions Quality, project deadlines and cost		Definition of scope Define change processes Implementation of baselines and schedules Pro-active monitoring and control Project control / Schedule control

Delayed commissioning
Inadequate documentation Inattentive documentation efforts by technically focused team members Project deadlines and cost		Monitoring and control for document preparation processes Implement and support approval process Project control

3. Nachbereitung

Risks / adverse effects

Mitigation measure / recommendation

Loss of experience

Demobilization of specific turnaround / shutdown teams
Long duration until next turnaround / shutdownd

Quality --> formal turnaround / shutdown closure

Implement and support documentation portal
Facilitate As-Built documentation
Implementation of QA/QC systems
Lessons learned
