Shutdown and Turnaround Project
Planning

Using generic project portfolio management software to plan and schedule maintenance shutdown, turnaround, and outage projects is like trying to mix oil and water. The two just don’t go together. Instead, you need a shutdown and turnaround planning software tool specifically designed for planning and managing maintenance shutdown and turnaround projects. The tool you need is IMMPOWER SP.

Unlike general project management solutions, such as Primavera P3 and P6, IMMPOWER SP focuses specifically on the planning, scheduling, and execution of maintenance shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages. With IMMPOWER SP, you can build, maintain, and access a comprehensive library of scenarios for shutdowns and turnarounds.

A general industry consensus is that effectively planning and managing shutdowns and turnarounds results in savings of up to 15 percent in maintenance shutdown costs. Considering the costs of planning and scheduling a maintenance turnaround project may account for up to 1 percent of the total shutdown costs, the savings more that offset the costs! While we can not guarantee such results, we can guarantee that IMMPOWER SP will put you in control of planning, scheduling, and managing your maintenance shutdowns and turnarounds effectively.

Let us show you how you can take control of your maintenance shutdown, turnaround, or outage projects. Request your free demo of IMMPOWER SP today!
