Completing a scheduled 2 week annual turnaround safely and on schedule was extremely important to this client. Historically, large losses in production resulted from schedule slip and unexpected problems. Using RLG’s Px^™ (Project Excellence^™) approach, the project planning, optimization and execution was rigorously managed, creating one strong team with a clear vision of what actions needed to take place to develop and execute this safe, efficient work plan.

Project Highlights

• RLG became involved with the team roughly 9 months prior to the turnaround
• A planning Operating Rhythm^™ with well-defined KPIs and a rigorous meeting schedule ensured effective communication and accountability
• Planners, engineers, schedulers and senior tradesmen used schedule quality reviews and TMP^™ (Theoretical Maximum Performance) sessions to optimize the plan
• Front line workers became involved early to identify risks and opportunities to improve safety and efficiency

A “war room” approach and an Execution Operating Rhythm^™ kept everyone highly aligned and aware of all critical issues and KPIs.
