Lead P3 Turnaround Scheduler Oct ‘99 to Sep ‘00
Supervised the construction of a 26,000 activity Turnaround Schedule for Phillips Petroleum in Sweeny, Texas for their August 2000 “Coker Tie-in Turnaround”. The schedule was built in less than one year from “scratch” (i.e. without the aid of an ERP or CMMS data source) in Primavera P3 2.0b and 3.0 utilizing a multiple-subproject, multi-user format. Ten schedulers from six different contractors (both T&M as well as lump sum) were involved in building the schedule concurrently while under my control and direction utilizing a "war room" concept. Pervasive SQL 2000 Btrieve was required to run P3 under this multi-user arrangement. The "oil-to-oil" schedule included all phases of work including pre-shutdown, shutdown and de-inventory, energy isolation, turnaround (maintenance), capital improvements and tie-ins, de-isolation, re-inventory, startup and post-turnaround. The fully resource loaded and leveled schedule involved seven existing units and two grassroots units in the refinery and required approximately 500K man-hours over a 6-week outage.
Austin Industries (Austin Industrial Maintenance) La Porte, TX
Turnaround Planning & Scheduling Supervisor Jan ‘98 to Aug ‘99
Supervised eight turnaround planners and two material specialists in the detailed planning (using Fluor’s CMMS+ software) of four maintenance/capital turnarounds (VAM, Methanol, Acetic Acid and Syngas units) at Millennium Petrochemicals’ (MPI) La Porte, Texas facility. Built each of the four systems-level resource loaded and leveled hourly turnaround schedules in Primavera P3 (total of approximately 6K activities) from the CMMS+ plans using a custom-designed Microsoft Access interface procedure which I developed specifically for the project. All four shutdowns finished on time or ahead of schedule, despite only 4-8 weeks preparation time for each schedule. Upon completion of the final turnaround in November, I was tasked to lead MPI’s legacy ERP data migration efforts from CMMS+ to SAP R/3 using Microsoft Access. This included the selection, normalization and field mapping of the equipment master records (including formatted specs), material master records, bills-of-material (MRO) records and master plans/preventive maintenance schedules. This was successfully accomplished five days ahead of the original “Go-Live” date and over a six-month period with only minimal part-time assistance from three other individuals, one of whom was not based in Texas.
