Challenge

The company had the arduous task of providing and maintaining checklists to over 250 workers spread across multiple departments during a Turnaround procedure. To complicate matters, these checklists were paper-based forms and as evidence verification, had to be promptly presented at sequence checkpoints for safety compliance.

Naturally, delays cropped up (sometimes as much as 8 hours) as workers, amid a large pool of active personnel, had difficulty finding the right stakeholders to certify their checklist. But as checklists played a crucial role in efficient and safe Turnaround management, skipping this step was never an option for the company.

Problem

Multi-unit turnarounds are notoriously expensive procedures to manage. The complexity is further heightened by the number of moving parts – human and machine – that need to be coordinated for project-success. The extensive nature of the procedure poses problems to a lot of companies. Our client experienced some of these problems

Solutions

Digitized box-up checklists and automated organizational workflows

Maximl’s Connected Worker solution rapidly digitized the company’s box-up checklists. Work engineers could now obtain checklists with ease, fill out the digitized form right on their mobile devices, and get certified in a matter of minutes!

Enabling real-time collaboration

We also enabled collaboration features that allowed multiple users to access checklists and work on them in real-time. This compensated for limits in plant distance and ensured that interdependent processes were subjected to careful execution.

Even more, the company could have everyone hook up for meetings virtually – ditching the daily grind and saving productive time.

Offline connectivity

Maximl facilitated seamless operations even in low connectivity areas of the plant. This gave engineers unfettered access to valuable and time-bound information, including personalized notifications for critical tasks and issues.
