THE PROBLEM

Over 60% of industrial turnarounds exceed budget or schedule

One overrun can wipe out the value of a year's production. Most shutdowns are still planned in spreadsheets and handed over verbally.

Scope defined too loosely at planning stage

Readiness assessed by opinion rather than evidence

Little visibility once execution starts

KEY CAPABILITIES

What TurnSure does

01

Scope and work packs

Structured scope capture with work pack creation, approval workflow, and traceability from the original scope line to the task that was executed.

02

Readiness assessment and gate reviews

Configurable readiness scorecards at each phase, including a DCMA-14 schedule-quality assessment, with automated gating and risk flags. Daily briefs tell the shutdown team what changed overnight.

03

Resource planning

Labour, equipment and contractor requirements modelled against scope, with availability checks and conflict detection before the conflicts arrive.

04

Schedule optimisation

Critical path analysis, constraint management and compression, driven by real asset and resource data rather than by assumed durations.

05

Execution monitoring

Live completion, variance and exception tracking against plan. Governance decisions are written to a hash-chained ledger, which is what makes post-event assurance possible.

06

Post-shutdown analytics

Structured review with cost analysis, schedule variance and recommendations, while people still remember what happened.

GLOBAL STANDARDS ALIGNMENT

The frameworks this is built against

SMRP BoK

Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals Body of Knowledge

CCPS

Center for Chemical Process Safety Guidelines

PLATFORM INTEGRATION

Where it sits in the platform

ReliCore TurnSure

Failure predictions and asset criticality drive scope priorities and work pack generation, so the shutdown addresses what is most likely to fail.

AssetVault TurnSure

Asset hierarchy and documentation feed scope definition and work pack planning.

TurnSure CrewOptix

Resource requirements pull workforce availability and competency, which is usually where a plan first meets reality.

WHO USES TURNSURE

Who uses it

Turnaround managers

Own the shutdown end to end, from scope definition through to the post-event review.

Planners and schedulers

Build and maintain the schedule, the resource plan and the readiness assessments.

Operations managers

Track execution and production impact while it's still possible to change something.

HSE managers

Hold safety and permit compliance through the execution window.

GET STARTED

Start with a shutdown readiness review

We look at how you plan shutdowns now: the governance you have, and what your last few turnarounds actually cost against what they were meant to. The root causes of overrun tend to repeat.

Plan it properly. Prove it happened.

Calibrated to your shutdowns

Frequency, complexity and regulatory environment change what readiness means.

A readiness baseline

Governance gaps and the recurring causes behind your overruns.

A deployment plan

What happens from day one, agreed before anyone starts.
