Will MODS Connect digital TAR solution help reduce schedules?

Yes! MODS Connect TAR solution enables you to efficiently plan, organize, execute, and closeout a turnaround. Turnaround time and costs can be minimized without compromising safety or quality. Real-time status monitoring provides an understanding of work progress on a shift-by-shift basis.

Does MODS Connect interface with other planning systems?

Yes! We can integrate seamlessly with your current IT landscape.

Will the barcode technology used in MODS Connect TAR solution improve reporting?

Yes! Barcode technology reports the time now status of everything associated with materials, progress, integrity and safe systems of work. The integrated processes update the progress when completions or other verification documents are signed off.

How does MODS Connect TAR solution deliver stable operation after start-up?

MODS Connect is structured to track the completion of work in real time. Also, the accountability of barcode reporting enables operations to track every system and activity, eliminating surprises. Integrity management is crucial to stable operations, and MODS Connect TAR solution delivers total accountability and confidence in handing over after maintenance and upgrades conducted during a shutdown.

Turnaround and Shutdown Management | Use Case

Turnaround projects (TARs) – temporary facility shutdowns to accommodate asset maintenance or upgrades – is time critical. Offshore or other remote facilities present unique challenges that make TARs particularly vulnerable to scheduling delays having significant financial consequences.

Through the application of advanced workflow management processes, our customized MODS Connect TAR package allows organizations to easily collaborate, removing the headache from managing TARs and other shutdowns.

TAR and shutdown management risks and challenges, which impact project schedules, include:

Instability in interrupting Operations and Maintenance and pressures 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.

Digitalize your TARs and shutdown management

TAR projects and shutdown management are facilitated through digital tools such as MODS Connect that collate project information and streamline processes. Digitizing your TARs makes these jobs reliable, transparent, traceable and accountable.

Benefits of digitalizing TARs

Digitalizing your TAR projects and shutdown management with our interactive cloud-based solution provides the perfect platform to remotely manage site work on plant, which is particularly useful for remote or difficult-to-access locations.

MODS Connect TAR and shutdown management solutions, which are competitively priced for maximum ROI, address the challenges of information management, quality assurance and timely projects.

How digital TARs and Shutdown Management deliver 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.

A digital tool such as MODS Connect is a proactive management approach that allows project teams to keep their fingers on the pulse of materials, equipment, labor and other resource use. 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.

Critical path optimization

Improved efficiency

Accountable integrity

Predictability

Single source interface

Effective materials tracking

Reduced cost

Stable operations

“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.”

Bill Karuppiah

Project Engineer

“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.”
