Don't shut down by accident

A carefully planned shutdown will improve your plant's safety and efficiency, while one that -just happens- can be disastrous. Developed from the author's highly successful seminars, this book takes you step by step through successfully managing production shutdowns. Identify what must be done, schedule equipment and staff, use project-management software, and save both dollars and downtime.
* Prioritize needs and identify what can be accomplished within time and budget constraints
* Determine whether outside help is required
* Schedule the order and priority of projects
* Learn to use CPM (Critical Path Methods) or PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique)
* Plan for new or additional work that may arise during a shutdown
* Report and document preparation and execution
* Identify and record future needs the shutdown reveals
