5. Sun Tzu said: The Art of War
(Outages) is of vital importance to
the State (Plant). It is a matter of
life and death, a road either to safety
or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of
inquiry which can on no account be
neglected.
Outages are significant events in any plant. It is generally the only
event that can simultaneously increase revenue and decrease cost.

Outage, planning and execution
are significantly different than
normal plant operations and as
such need different mind sets,
methods and practices to be
successful. Outage Planning and
Execution is it’s own sweet
science
