> Turnarounds (TARs) are high-pressure, high-consequence project environments. <

MODS Connect helps keep TARs on schedule through the application of advanced workflow management processes to deliver projects with precision, speed and seamless coordination.  

TARs and other temporary facility shutdowns to accommodate maintenance or upgrades are time critical. Both offshore assets and remote onshore plants present unique challenges that make TARs particularly vulnerable to scheduling delays, which easily domino into significant financial consequence. 

Use MODS Connect to proactively plan and quality assure TARs that are visible and on-schedule with the following paper processes: 

  • Site visualization 
  • Digital work packages 
  • Digital materials management 
  • Digital certifications, completions and handovers

MODS Connect mitigates turnaround risks and challenges, including: 

TAR-Use-Case_Page-1@2x

 

  • Plant instability and interrupting operational mandates to get back up and running

  • Pre-planning and readiness of shutdown activities  

  • Getting materials, equipment and personnel to the right place, at the right time and in the right sequence

  • Ensuring accountability and traceability in handing over quality-assured systems

  • Ineffective handovers from operations to decommissioning, loss of archival information and data gaps

  • Balancing competing workflow priorities.

  • Navigating reams of paper and massive hard-copy dossiers for information

  • Communicating and clarifying contractor responsibilities and transferring site-specific knowledge to the contractor

  • Ensuring contractors follow the work plan and are accountable

Increase TAR predictability to maintain schedules while delivering safe, quality-assured projects with MODS Connect turnaround solutions.

MODS Connect facilitates TAR projects and shutdown management, collating project information, streamlining workflows and automating processes for reliable, transparent, traceable and accountable project delivery:   

> MODS Connect Materials: Intelligent inventory control of materials, equipment and components to ensure delivery on time, in sequence and to the correct location. 

> MODS Connect WorkPack: Digital work packs ensure more intelligent, transparent and accountable project execution.  

> MODS Connect Completions: Facilitate a controlled, staged transfer of responsibility back to the owner-operator via an intelligent centralized database.  


MODS Connect features activity management with interactive scheduling and visible SIMOPS for integrated work front management. An integrated, modular solution, digital TARs with MODS Connect helps execute projects, heightening efficiency and ROI with transparent, on-schedule projects. 

> How digital TARs deliver project success <

Only a third of turnarounds, shutdown and outages are executed successfully, on time and within budget. The ability to track actual progress status against what was projected in the project plan identifies potential bottlenecks in advance so that preventative measures may be taken. 
 
MODS Connect enables a proactive management approach that allows project teams to keep their fingers on the pulse of materials, equipment, labor and other resource use, as well as project status. When project status is clear and measurable against targets throughout rapid turnarounds, and when project information is retained for accurate understanding and communication with internal and external stakeholders, schedules are maintained and handovers are smooth.

Digital TARs With MODS Connect, what people say:

“Starting the first turnaround operation with a new digital solution gave us more flexibility to adjust our processes…When preparing for a turnaround, we always need to know what’s going to happen in advance, we don’t want any surprises as they usually result in delays. What we do want is predictability…The clarity, visibility and speed [of TAR digitalization with MODS Connect have] been revolutionary.”
Project Engineer
AGC
“I’ve used MODS software solutions during several major turnaround projects. Digital software without a doubt, shortens schedules, improves efficiency and communication, and gives clarity and confidence to all involved…Turnarounds become more predictable than ever before. Without specialized software, you cannot be certain that your turnaround will be on time and on budget. A data-driven turnaround is the future, the only way forward to ensure first time success and that schedules stay to plan. It is a faster and more accurate turnaround when using digital software, especially when it is all connected together…I personally would not want to return to the ‘old ways’ of paper-based tracking and documentation. It was slow and inaccurate.”
