Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages (STO)
HD for STO is fully equipped to plan and execute an aggressive Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages (STO). The solution seamlessly integrates project plans into the schedule, manages execution using real-time project data, and provides powerful analytics and reporting tools to refine and standardize the whole process.
Maximize Project Accuracy
HD for STO demands accuracy by using actual and historical costs to build a strong planning structure with unlimited work plan capacity and levels of detail. Valuable tools provide the option to create a Work Breakdown Structure in an aggressive work package that can be defined—by work order, cost code, plant area, phase, customer code, and other user-controlled attributes. Enhanced features include side-by-side comparison of conceptual and detailed project phases. HD maximizes project accuracy by giving complete view of labor, equipment and material resources. Additionally, the library of cost and billing rates for labor and equipment are customizable to the project’s type and geographic location.
- Infinite resource-level cost detailing
- Customizable cost item models with corresponding variables: shifts, man-hours, crews, and resources etc.
- Accessible third-party cost & production items and assemblies
- Historic cost & productivity database
Leverage Dynamic Scheduling Integration to Cut Time & Costs
Through dynamic integration to Oracle’s Primavera or Microsoft Project, HD for STO provides ultimate visibility of cost and schedule. Project plans and schedules are brought together for real-time visibility of cost changes, ensuring budget and production stay on time. Any changes in the schedule will automatically modify the cost plans, giving instant assessment of time. HD allows project managers and planners to stay in-sync throughout the project, saving calculation time, and increasing project accuracy.
Visualize Project Execution
When executing the plan, there is no room for lost time. If changes to the plan are needed, HD for STO performs “What if?” analysis to determine the impact on cost and schedule. Any changes to project’s plan are tracked and automatically create an audit trail showing how each change affected the project’s budget. HD centralizes project measurement data, fully equipped with updates on Percent Complete Analysis, Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS), Earned Value, Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP), Cost Variance, Estimate at Completion (EAC), and Forecast Variance.
- Visibility of actual cost & productivity
- Forecast total costs to completion
- Daily transaction reports, compared with planned costs
Measure Budget, Earned, and Accrued Costs
HD makes post outage assessment simple with access to over 100 pre-built and customizable reports on all cost and resource data. Ready to go templates include resource utilization, cash flow, subcontracted items, and detailed productivity and costs. Web-based reporting and dashboards present a clear perspective of the STO through completion.
Analyze Project Data
HD for STO expedites the receipt of actual billing by recording cost of the work performed against planned cost. Data collected can be received directly from the field, allowing management to review and save planned, actual, and forecasted data.
- Standardized repeatable process
- Store all historic cost & production actuals
- Profit and overhead transparency
- Detailed reporting on all aspects of the project
Plan for the Unexpected
When maintenance occurs that is unexpected, HD acts as a strong proactive planning tool. HD's centralized view provides easy access to an archive full of historical project information. By utilizing the data from prior projects, Owners and Contractors can accurately assess the schedule and resources needed to complete an unplanned project.
