This document discusses dynamic scheduling techniques for maintenance turnaround projects. It recommends establishing a Dynamic Trio of an Area Execution Coordinator, Area Operations Coordinator, and Area Safety Coordinator for each work area to regularly update schedules based on status reports and optimize plans. The document contrasts dynamic programming, which calculates optimized schedules based on productivity factors and resource constraints, versus traditional scheduling which levels resources over long periods without flexibility. Maintaining accurate and timely status updates from each area, analyzing performance trends, and recalculating plans every shift allows projects to better control schedule and costs amid changing conditions.

Subsequent days cover topics like the asset management model, work management process, and implementing change management. Key aspects of the turnaround management process are also summarized.
Change Management 2
The document discusses change management and outlines the key steps in the change management process model. It describes identifying improvement opportunities, establishing the change project, developing the methodology, implementing through orientation and training and roll-out, and managing the change through control, coaching and continuous improvement. The overall process moves from planning to development to implementation and management of the change.
Human Resources
The document discusses the concept of viewing employees as human assets rather than just human resources or liabilities. It provides examples of employees demonstrating behaviors associated with being a liability, resource, or asset. The key differences are that liabilities generate low profits, resources generate acceptable profits, while assets are profit generators at all levels who require little management and speak highly of the company. The document argues companies should educate employees and involve them more to transform liabilities into resources and resources into assets.
Wrench Time
The document discusses increasing "wrench-time", or the time workers spend performing tasks, on construction and maintenance projects. It states that currently workers only spend an average of 3.5 hours per 10-hour shift actively working. It recommends that management provide better support to workers by improving planning, permitting, tool and material availability, and instructions in order to reduce time spent waiting and increase wrench-time. Establishing formal project management processes including detailed planning, risk analysis, budgeting, scheduling, and project controls can help management improve worker efficiency and project outcomes.
Kpi Lister Sto 061411
This document discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring and controlling short-term outage (STO) projects. It identifies the top 4 KPIs as safety, worker performance, wrench time, and quality assurance/quality control. Other important KPIs are schedule and cost. Targets should be set for each KPI and performance should be measured using an S-curve to track earned value versus planned work. Regular updating and trending allows forecasting to control the project scope. A daily report should track the status of each KPI.
Keynote Lister Sto 061411
The document outlines 5 keys to enhance worker performance during shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages. The 5 keys are: 1) Communicate and provide nourishment for workers, 2) Coach workers rather than supervise them, 3) Use programming instead of traditional scheduling, 4) Only plan direct work using benchmark estimates, and 5) Minimize direct workers and maximize indirect resources supporting them. The document argues that these strategies can improve worker attitude, safety, efficiency, and project duration by inspiring high performance from knowledgeable, experienced, and willing workers.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
