    Effective shutdown maintenance project management
    (1986) Klingenberg, Bernard Ekhard; Jervis, W
    Shutdown maintenance projects are an intergral part of any plant maintenance system. When a plant is shutdown, production stops and major maintenance work and modification of components is carried out. Whatever the size and scope of the shutdown, component project management. is vital if the shutdown project is to be completed successfully. This autnor has found that there is little or no literature available that treats shutdown maintenance projects as a complete study. The study of the management organisation and structure, as well as the associated resources and services required by a shutdown project manager has been neglected. The aim of this thesis project is to research and investigate shutdown maintenance and to present it as a complete study. All the aspects of shutdown maintenance project management are dealt with. This is done in tne following way. Shutdown maintenance is defined with specific objectives. Then the management organi sati on. and structure, as well as the resources and services required for shutdown projects are discussed. The shutdown project management procedure and techniques are dealt with next, and finally there is a section on the effect of condition based maintenance on shutdown maintenance projects. This thesis project serves to provide a complete perspective on snutdown proJects where this was found to be lacking in previous literature on maintenance management. This thesis provides a useful source of instruction and information to an engineer who for the first time has been given a shutdown project to complete.
