AM-07-23 Leading Indicators of Turnaround Performance Outcomes

Description:

Leading Indicators of Turnaround Performance Outcomes. Turnaround data indicate that turnaround safety, cost, schedule, and operability problems are not random. Rather, these problems are predictable months prior to any particular turnaround. Leading indicators - such as turnaround characteristics and the level of definition and planning - have a quantifiable effect on turnaround outcomes. There are varying degrees, however, to which these leading indicators are controllable. This paper examines these controllable and uncontrollable factors and their effect on turnaround outcomes with specific focus on turnaround cost predictability and competitiveness.
