Deliver Major Plant Turnarounds on Time and on Budget
When continuous plants undergo annual cold shutdowns, every delayed restart hour costs tens of thousands in lost production. PredictAint unifies work scoping, critical path scheduling, parts kitting, and contractor safety permits.
Why Industrial Plant Turnarounds Frequently Overrun
Major maintenance turnarounds involve hundreds of work orders, dozens of external contractor crews, and thousands of specialized spare parts converging in a tight multi-day window:
Un-staged parts discoveries: Technicians open a furnace or turbine casing only to realize a critical specialty gasket is missing or stuck in customs.
Contractor coordination gridlock: Outside repair crews stand around waiting hours for paper safety permit clearances and LOTO sign-offs.
Scope creep and schedule slippage: Emergent breakdown findings derail the critical path because planners have no real-time progress visibility.
How the Workflow Can Support the Team
Turnaround Work Package Scoping
Group routine PMs, major overhauls, and statutory vessel inspections into structured turnaround campaign work packages months in advance.
Parts Readiness and Staging
Track readiness for the parts in the approved work scope, then have the responsible storeroom and maintenance teams verify quantities and physical staging before the outage.
Real-Time Critical Path Execution
Record progress and blockers across trades. Use alerts and schedule views to help coordinators review dependencies and decide whether work assignments need to change.
Platform Capabilities Powering This Solution
Plant Shutdown Planning
Campaign work packages, milestone Gantt tracking, critical path monitoring, and staged parts auditing.
EHS & Work Permits (LOTO)
Multi-crew isolation procedures, lockbox verification, and confined space entry permits.
Inventory & Spare Parts
Pre-allocated parts kits reserved exclusively for turnaround campaign work orders.
Mobile App for Technicians
Record task progress on supported mobile devices and keep agreed paper controls where the site's procedures require them.
Define Your Operational Measures
Agree a baseline, responsible owner and reporting period before evaluating the change.
Establish a baseline and review comparable periods. Outcomes depend on implementation and plant conditions.
