In many respects, maintenance shutdown planning and the ensuing shutdowns indicate the rigour of a company's management systems.

While offline maintenance activities are often planned, scheduled, and executed using business-as-usual approaches, and task-level work scope and individual activities seldom vary, the fundamental difference between daily operations and shutdowns is intensity.

When a large number of jobs are accomplished at the same time, the risk in areas such as safety, quality, and cost increases considerably.

And, with maintenance workgroups capable of increasing from 20 to over 600 workers and delivering in excess of 7,000 manhours across 24-hour periods spanning from days to several weeks, the importance of structuring work programmes to balance maintenance needs with plant uptime is obvious. When workloads are moderate, weak systems can remain hidden.

When they are as intense as shutdowns, there is simply no hiding.

In some respects, they constitute the ultimate test of system strength.

Our staff has been involved in large maintenance shutdown planning and activities over the past 20 years. We are aware that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to all challenges. True perfection requires mastery of all aspects of idea, development, and delivery. Poor execution, for example, will not be compensated for by excellent preparation. With this in mind, when customers wish to improve their shutdown performance, we start by helping them build, or even develop, a solid end-to-end process structure, which we then bring to life through disciplined implementation.

 

A strong shutdown management system spans areas such as:

• Consistent, detailed process and standardised work

• Advanced work scoping and quick changeover processes

• Defined objectives and clear expectations

• Visibility of shutdown cycle progress

• Trained supervisors and engaged workgroups

• Improved information flow within teams

• Improved reporting and data provision

Sounds straightforward enough! However, it’s all too common for chinks to show in the armour fairly quickly.

 

Common shutdown issues

Here are some of the more common problems we encounter:

    The closure strategy and event plans are not up to date, thorough, or followed. As a result of the absence of alignment, shutdown management teams do not have enough time to plan and prepare for execution.

    Work scope definition and management are frequently lacking, with new work being added to scope in the weeks leading up to execution without appropriate evaluation preparation.

    There is no effective system in place to provide top management with visibility into progress. Shutdowns may last only a few days, but planning and preparation might take months. It is vital to be able to clearly track progress through process milestones.

Even when these high-level frameworks are in place, detailed maintenance job information, such as exaggerated labour hour estimates or missing crucial parts, is frequently inadequate or erroneous. The connection between macro and micro is evident, and this is where process disruptions are most often. The relevance and work demands of the early and final phases of shutdowns are frequently overlooked. These 'book-end' the remainder of the shutdown action. When they are badly handled, it has a negative impact on the entire system.

What is shutdown maintenance?

Shutdown maintenance is the collection of inspections and tasks the maintenance team carries out when an entire facility is shut down specifically to facilitate this work.

Depending on the industry and location, you can also hear “maintenance turnaround” and “maintenance stoppage.” Regardless of the name, the idea is the same: a facility is shut down specifically for the maintenance team to perform inspections and tasks they can’t do when the facility is up and running.

 

How can you plan shutdown maintenance?

To get the most maintenance out of the shortest possible turnaround, you need to invest in a lot of planning and preparation. Although there’s no golden rules for maintenance turnarounds, you can follow these five steps to get and stay organized.
