Shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages (STO) require a unique type of project management, demanding extensive planning and effective coordination of labor and materials in the run up to the STO event, and rapid, daily progress measurement, productivity analysis, and forecasting during the event. Any failure to accurately estimate and forecast the remaining effort has significant repercussions on both costs and revenues.

EcoSys improves the ability to plan and execute STO projects by integrating all critical data into a centralized location to immediately access for review and analysis. Quickly identify risks, issues, and changes to make better, more informed decisions and effectively communicate progress to all stakeholders via EcoSys Visual Workflows.
