Shutdowns & Turarounds North America

Optimize your planning methods and execution strategies for efficient turnaround management

Returning to New Orleans, Shutdowns and Turnarounds 2013 will focus on key areas that can have a major impact on TAR frequency and associated costs; sessions will cover planning and scheduling, cost control, work scope management, contractor relations and on-site execution strategies.

With a severely limited pool of talent and skills within the field, and an ever
increasing need for output, the importance of every decision made by a TAR
manager,  is continuously increasing. With this in mind, the key areas addressed this year includ:

• Work Scope: Understand when your work scope starts, how the scope is generated, and how to gather all the essential information required
• Quality Control: Minimize re-work through the sharing of best practices within quality control, whilst ensuring all activity is compliant with regulatory guidelines and fully audited 
• Risk Assessment: Develop a strategy that tackles all potential issues pro-actively
• Contractor Management: Foster the most effective programmes to induct, educate and communicate with your contractors, ensuring that they quickly adapt and take ownership and responsibility for the safety, quality and schedule of the TAR project
• Cost Control: Implementing effective mechanisms that will considerably improve your budget forecasting and reduce final overall project costs
• Readiness Assessment: Minimize risks by ensuring that turnarounds never begin without full assurance
• Safety: Sharing and learning the most effective techniques for maintaining the highest HSE Standards during turnarounds
