Turnaround Shutdown and Outage Management

Turnaround, Shutdown, and Outage Management by Tom Lenahan. Shutdown management is project management of a special kind: managing the repair, replacement, or maintenance of critical systems. Manufacturing and process plants, computer systems, airliners, and many other systems must be regularly closed down or taken out of service for planned maintenance and operations. This book describes the process of managing Turnarounds. It defines the rational, chronological steps, from initiation to termination. This book is the culmination of a ten-year quest to distill basic principles out of the rich and varied practice of Turnaround management.
