6 Outcomes/Benefits Reactive Work Orders Less than 20% Scheduling Conflicts Downtime Risk Cost Average Savings Per Site 20% or greater in maintenance costs Visibility Compliance Asset Utilization Wrench Time Production Yield Effective Capital Spending

7 How Are STOs different? STOs are not stand-alone events, but are high-cost, high-impact events, which represent the execution of the company strategy over a period of many years. STOs Require Multi-Phase Approach Defining/Scoping Preparation Execution Startup/Turnover Evaluation STOs are Whole Business Events, not simple function-specific events Typically executed under strict time constraints with severe financial impacts for project delays Significant changes in scope during outage periods, resulting from discovery work.

8 Challenges Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages (STOs) are sizable events that are executed under strict time constraints with severe financial impacts for project delays. Poorly executed STOs can cost an organization: Millions of dollars in lost revenue Increase operating cost Business Challenges of Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages: Workforce Safety: Ensuring workforce safety of all parties involved in STO Scope Creep: Managing and prioritizing emerging work to avoid Work Cuts and to stay within project plan, time-line and budget Workforce Management: Resource capacities typically triple during turnaround projects (3 rd Party Contractors/Vendors) Process and Procedures: All stakeholders have a clear understanding of specific STO process and know how to properly channel unique information Progress Tracking: Having the right STO management system/tools to properly manage Work Progress, Cost Activities, and Safety Reports Real-Time Data: Access to real-time STO budget performance to make more informed decisions on course of action

9 Goals & Best Practices Plan for the unexpected Regardless of how detailed your project plan is, found or discovery work is inevitable. Establish clear goals with contractors When working with contractors, communicate your specific expectations. Don t underestimate the importance of a solid cleaning plan When cleaning time is underestimated, all subsequent work backs up because other trades cannot gain access to complete their assigned tasks. Keep track of ordering tools and equipment A turnaround can be stopped cold if basic supplies are not accounted for. To avoid chaos, don t assume that simple resources will be available at turnaround time.

10 Solution Prometheus ERP Advanced Out-of-the-box applications that work within your current ERP system (SAP) Integrated suite of products to evolve your plant maintenance strategies Real results: reduced downtime, increased rate of production, cost-savings

11 Customizing Your Solution for STOs + STO + STO is an add-on to Prometheus ERP Advanced

12 + STO Features Auto Leveler Simulation Mode Percent % Complete Planned vs. Base vs. Actual Capacity Utilization Planned vs. Actual Cost

13 Product Demonstration Prometheus +STO

14 + STO Benefits Availability Reduces downtime with better planning & scheduling work flow execution Synchronizes maintenance work with equipment availability Improves capacity planning Views the material availability for all components of a project or WBS Cost Improves maintenance time on equipment with the ability to level work and resources Reduces overtime and outsourced labor Improves planner and scheduler efficiency do more at same resource level Improves the ability to level work and resources Provides real time visibility to proactively monitor budget and timelines to reduce project overruns Eliminates the need for additional servers or integration software Risk and Compliance Allows for what if analysis without interrupting projects Determines critical path of all project activities Instills a common system of record (data inside SAP) Preserves institutional knowledge and knowledge transfer during worker transition Reduces backlog with work completed as planned Instills a common system of record (data inside SAP) Preserves institutional knowledge and knowledge transfer during worker transition Supports best practice to achieve target mix of planned (70%) vs. other (30%) work

15 Technical & Implementation Completely Inside SAP real time data No additional hardware or middleware Quick Implementation (as little as 3-4 weeks) SAP Certified Support is available 24/7 Offices in US, UK, Brazil, South Africa, Australia

16 Upcoming Events: PGU Prometheus Group University (PGU) classes are designed to further your skills using Prometheus software and standard SAP.
