After 25 years of performing maintenance turnarounds, the one thing I see as having had the most significant impact over that period is a massive increase in complexity. Both facility owners and general contractors are facing greater challenges in meeting targets related to schedule, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. Often, when speaking to colleagues in the industrial turnaround space after they have completed a project; I hear about expectations not being met, and key outcomes they were depending on, not being fulfilled.
One of the pillars that many owners and general contractor organizations rely on when it comes to predictable outcomes is choosing a subcontractor supervisor as the key predictor of a successful job. Sometimes this works, but often, it is not enough. I've discovered you need to simplify the complexity. Over many years of experimenting with the best way to do this, I've found a solution. I have uncovered ,eight key steps, owners and general contractors can use to put more predictability into the results they get, without relying on too heavily one factor, a supervisor. The eight steps of the Turnaround Optimizer Process will give you clarity and unity on evaluating your risks, your capabilities, and your strengths. It also exposes where your areas of improvement lie, as well as help you define the key results you need realized, as an organization and gives you the tools to uncover the systems to accomplish those key outcomes. I hope in the following pages; you will get many nuggets of value which you can apply to your next turnaround and optimize your outcomes.
