Using Technology to Report Delays

/in /by

The Challenge:

The recent shutdown event involved hundreds of people working day and night to complete a similar number of activities. Gathering delays in a standard format using a manual process can be a challenging assignment.

The Solution:

During a recent complex shutdown, Shutdown Supervisors, armed with their SMART Pads used the SMSi Supervision Plus app to capture and report hundreds of delay events. Reported delays were immediately available on the SMSi Execution Dashboard.

The Benefits:

Shutdown leaders had the right information at the right time to review priorities and tackle constraints. This ensured the critical path was supported as the priority.

After the shut, reported delays are analyzed to better understand the sources of critical path delays and other inefficiencies during the shutdown. This ultimately enables the organization to pursue its continuous improvement journey.

 

SMSi solution: Better Planning and Management of Readiness

/in /by

The below question was asked in our February Smart Shutdown Collective webinar.

“What are your top shutdown concerns or frustrations?

  1. Lack of preparation and readiness
  2. Poor work scoping
  3. Capability and quality of contractors
  4. Ineffective shutdown management systems
  5. Parts tracking and management “

33% responded, “Lack or preparation and readiness!”

7% responded, “Poor work scoping!”

20% responded, “Capability and quality of contractors!”

40% responded, “Ineffective shutdown management systems!”

0% responded, “Parts tracking and management!”

The good news is that IMMS can help and offer a solution that improves preparation & readiness, and the effectiveness of the shutdown process. The solution, SMSi enables better planning and management of readiness by:

  • Start your readiness process by building a visible major events calendar;
  • Build your readiness activities and key milestones and manage their completion with full visibility;
  • Define your leading KPIs, and track performance against them to mitigate risk while increasing confidence in delivering a successful shutdown or project;
  • Monitor execution gaps, and set and drive actions to close performance gaps;
  • Benefit from visual management, reports, and a dashboard to drive efficiency and effectiveness.
