Turnarounds (TAR) are one of the most significant portions of a plant’s yearly maintenance budget, and the level of readiness directly impacts the bottom line. Operation teams plan for production loss during the outage; however, there is an incredibly high probability that the shutdown window will lengthen due to unexpected damage or unplanned maintenance. On average, 66% of TARs finish late and are over budget by 10% or more. In fact, 40% of TARs exceed budget by 30% or more, costing facilities millions of dollars. Plants will realize large economic advantages when TARs finish on time and on budget.
