SMSi Professional Edition: Released and ready for the field

/in /by

It’s just few days into a shutdown, the Gantt document is torn and falling apart. 

Documenting progress updates and capturing delays has turned into a messy exercise.  

Providing feedback to schedulers is a challenge as time-poor shutdown schedulers struggle to step away from their computers and see the shutdown in action.   

Nevertheless, shutdown leadership is waiting for all the shutdown updates and insights.  

At the end of the day, we all need to know where the shutdown is at so we can make sure we’re on track for ramp up without delays or schedule creep.  

I recall my time in the field as a young engineer, and later as a STO superintendent, right in the middle of it. 

One thing I’m certain of; the challenges have never changed when it comes to managing execution.  

You might be surprised, or perhaps relieved, to know it doesn’t have to be this way for managing shutdown turnaround and outage any longer. 

Shutdown Turnaround and Outage Best Practice

Tracking progress, updating the Gantt, capturing delays and safety incidents, and managing reporting process to have visibility over shutdown execution doesn’t have to be a messy piece of work. 

 We – at IMMS – have experienced this challenge firsthand and we decided to develop a solution for it; our first generation – SMSi Professional Edition or PRO – is now live and fully available. 

 SMSi Pro tracks your shutdown progress through an iPad that your Shutdown Supervisors and Coordinators can carry with them on site. This means we can update progress and capture delays in real time and provide seamless and immediate reports for the shutdown leadership team.  

 Our reports are intuitively laid out to give you a complete picture of what’s happening in your shutdown war room meetings or operational hubs. 

 For us who have lived and breathed in the dust, it is an exciting time to see part of our dream come to fruition… a fully innovative, intuitive and integrated shutdown management platform that helps you to digitally plan, execute and close-out your shutdown. 

For more information about PRO Edition head to our website.

Or to request a demo send us an email to enquiry@imms-wa.com.au and book in a session with our Managing Director, Ashkan Shahmir today.

The possibilities are endless.

Ashkan Shahmir Brings SMSi to a Global Audience

/in /by

Last month IMMS Managing Director Ashkan Shahmir presented at the Digital Shutdown & Turnaround Online Conference presented by Truventus.

Ashkan talked about the impact a digital platform can have on end-to-end management of shutdowns with case studies to create real-world examples for the conference attendees.

“Shutdowns struggling with an absence of clarity around their shutdown readiness, poor visual management and fluctuating shutdown performance will often suffer from overruns. This hurts the business as a whole. As a Shutdown Superintendent for many years, I know that struggle. The solution that SMSi provides is one where we standardise the whole process of the shutdown with enhanced visibility for management, team collaboration and a complete uplift in shutdown performance for the business.”

The digital space offers a unique opportunity for Shutdown teams to manage their shutdowns in a truly collaborative and innovative way.

When we transform the old paper-version of shutdown management we streamline the entire process. In fact, we can integrate an entire system into a single platform that’s beautifully designed and completely intuitive to the needs of the user.

Digital transformation doesn’t mean we’re using MS Excel in a cloud or sharing between users and experiencing cold sweats over version control… it means putting the entire shutdown process on a cloud-based platform that updates the work in real time.

This is why we say it’s a truly collaborative and innovative way to manage your shutdowns.

Held online, the conference attendees heard from speakers around the globe allowing for a truly unique and immersive conference experience.

We would like to thank Trueventus for inviting us to present and are looking forward to our next opportunity to bring our big ideas on how the digital environment can improve, enhance and innovate shutdowns across the world.

The possibilities are endless!
