Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Kumar,
You can use Task Dependent for both running parallel and a successor of Shutdown activities.

Ex:
Scaffolding erection -> FS -> Shutdown
Insulation removal -> FS -> Shutdown

If the Insulation crews required scaffold to remove insulation then -> Scaffolding erection-> FS ->Insulation Removal-> FS->Shutdown

If Insulation crews can start from the area where scaffolding are finished and continue to erect scaffold on other area where insulator crew is not required then -> Scaffolding erection -> SS + say 5 days lag Insulation removal-> FS -> Shutdown, Scaffolding erection -> FS -> Shutdown
