Shutdown Optimisation Assessment & Roadmap
For Resource and Energy companies, better management of Shutdowns can improve operational performance and yield schedule and cost improvements of up to 30%.
A Shutdown Optimisation Assessment & Roadmap provides organisations with an understanding of where they are at, identifies where they want to be and gives steps for how to get there.
Assessment Overview
The Shutdown Optimisation Assessment & Roadmap provides you with the insights and actions needed to make sure your Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Overhauls/Outages (STO) are efficiently and effectively supported by technology.
Denver’s deep heritage in resource, energy and technology means we quickly assess and establish Shutdown optimisation opportunitie sand provide tangible and actionable roadmaps for execution; identifying opportunities to increase worker safety, improve information reliability and reduce the shutdown risk profile. We quantify this productivity through:
- An increase in work output
- A decrease in the required resources to perform the current work output
- Improvement in plant uptime
- Reduction in shutdown costs
- Improvement in work quality
- A better understanding of equipment reliability
Our Approach
Following an agile, outcome-based approach, we deliver a 30 Day Shutdown Optimisation Assessment & Roadmap in four stages:
30 Days
Initiation & Planning
Review and analysis of existing documentation, standards, processes and architecture information. This will enable us to determine a baseline for the information and standards that exist and establish areas in which relevant information is not available.
This may cover areas such as:
- Stakeholder Mapping
- Service kick off with primary stakeholder/s
- Book meetings/workshops with stakeholders
- Create high level schedule
- Reconfirm and communicate engagement objectives
- Review existing client documentation and artefacts
- Initiate artefacts constructs and collaboration
Workshops & Discovery
This stage is an active participation engagement –either onsite and/or virtually. This includes personnel and teams who have the required domain knowledge and expertise.
After reviewing our Client’s provided information, the following workshops may be conducted, moving through Shut Activities and framework in more granular detail:
Framework Workshops
- RACI
- Process/Policies/Governance
- Technology & Tools
Strategic Workshops
- Capability Maturity
- Continuous Improvement
- Strategic Alignment & Tactics
Analysis
During and after the workshops we document and analyse the information gathered.
These insights inform our recommendations and/or opportunities, including:
- Heat map findings
- Identify efficiency and innovation opportunities. Include benefits calculations where possible.
- Identify industry standards/frameworks to be adhered to
- Tangible & actionable quick wins, e.g. risk:effort matrix
- Action list in line with client goals –e.g. agreed prioritisation based on risk/value/benefit/speed to delivery as per client needs
- Compare and contrast to other Peers of a similar size and industry
Report & Present
The final stage involves the collation and final analysis of the information collected as part of Shutdown Optimisation Assessment & Roadmap.
The assessment produces the following deliverables:
Draft Report | A draft report will be delivered to client stakeholders for review –allowing for feedbackand to request any clarifications prior to final report.
Final Report | The Final Report containing the findings, analysis, recommendations, and action items gathered during the assessment.
Report Presentation | A summarised presentation of the final report to your management team giving stakeholders the chance to discuss and clarify the recommendations made as part of the assessment.
