Can STO Manageability and Efficiency be Transformed?
YES. By Addressing the Complete STO Lifecycle
From premise to lessons-learned, the scale and complexity of STOs (Shutdowns, Turnarounds, Outages) require attention to every stage and process. This is necessary to ensure that planning is thorough, scheduling is realistic, and the resources required are in place.
Every event is an opportunity to learn. The more we leverage data, rather than subjective opinions, the better. Powerful analytics capabilities reveal insights and trends across diverse yet connected data-sets never before available.
STO Preparation
Determination of readiness for STO execution, through detailed planning from STO initiation to STO execution
An array of intelligent planning tools for:
- Managing pre-event activities
- Defining scope
- Field walk-down
- Cost and schedule modelling
- Input to third party detailed scheduling systems
- Synchronizing activities, labor and resources
Benefits for STO Preparation
-
Agile & efficient
-
Event modeling
assessment of execution scenarios -
Alignment of
stakeholders through readiness dashboard -
Management of
additional work requests -
Enhanced use of
third-part planning systems
STO Execution
Performance and status monitoring and analysis, from start of shutdown to completion of startup
Improved manageability and performance through:
- Multi-source dashboards enriched with real-time information
- Constant assessment of options
- Resource-aware task dispatch automation for routine activities
- Predictions, detection of gaps and recommendations, driving better, faster decision-making
- Replanning, rescoping and rescheduling in minutes
- Real-time stakeholder-specific dashboards
Benefits for STO Execution
-
Actionable insights
focused on leading performance indicators -
Accountability &
transparency -
Optimal use of
resources -
Improved quality
and safety -
Automation of
administrative coordination activities
STO Debrief
Learning from the STO in a post-STO review
Understanding the STO and determination of overall success of the process through:
- Assessment of planning vs. actual execution results
- Compliance with budget, schedule & scope objectives
- Appraisal of failures, barriers and discoveries
- Efficiency of change management
- Detailed personnel and contractor benchmarking data
