Worklist control and planning relates to compiling and controlling all aspects of work for a turnaround from job specification to a detailed plan. Event control ensures systems are in place to monitor performance against targets. Planning is the crucial preliminary step to meeting goals of safety, duration, cost and quality as turnarounds often fall short due to ineffective planning. The software described simplifies and automates planning, generates standardized work packages and instructions, and delivers control, enabling improved safety, a comprehensive worklist, material management, and monitoring of planning progress. This reduces duration, cost, and project management effort while increasing data utilization.

1. Worklist Control, Planning and Event Control
Worklist control and planning relates to the compilation and control of the workscope for the turnaround, it includes all aspects of the work
from job specification to a detailed plan including material identification and other planning preparation that is required to carry out the work
during the event.
Event control is necessary to ensure appropriate systems are in place to monitor performance against execution targets, PlanIT provides
documentation for this process.
It is the crucial preliminary step in every turnaround’s endeavour to meet and better the goals of Safety, Duration, Cost and Quality.
Turnarounds frequently fall short of these goals, because the effective planning of their activities has never been viewed as the vital key to
success despite Clients expending large sums of money in the execution phase.
