RMC-10-37 Peer Reviews and Readiness Reviews

Description:

Peer and Readiness Reviews, when used properly, can be a very effective tool for optimizing Turnaround planning and execution efforts to minimize risks to the site and increase the probability of attaining anticipated cost, duration and business goals . The process is an effective tool to help increase the probability that high risk activities are identified, mitigations and contingency plans are developed and are available to support and enhance the TA effort and support long-term equipment reliability and routine maintenance activities. This paper describes the philosophy, the process, and guidance to incorporate the process into a plant processes as well as control and management systems. The process optimizes not only the mechanical execution effort but also the process decommissioning and re-commissioning plans. Implementing such a process will enable plant personnel to better understand the impact of critical activities to site asset risks and reduce them to an acceptable level. This is especially important during this period of depressed margins to well position the site for the anticipated market upturn.
