Free up planning capacity
Automate imports and schedule updates so planners can spend fewer hours entering data and more time preparing productive work.
SHUTDOWN PLANNING & EXECUTION SOFTWARE
More accurate planning and manning.Less downtime and cost overruns.
Discover how AssetFlow can automate:
- Gantt creation and updates
- Contractor histograms and RFQs
- Materials availability reporting
- Shutdown progress tracking
1 • Gantt Builder
Import work-order exports, create the Microsoft Project Gantt, then review and apply changes from revised scope.
Reduce rework
Review scope changes against the saved plan to catch missing or changed activities before they create costly confusion on site.
Protect productive time
A clearer sequence helps coordinate jobs, crews and equipment, reducing avoidable waiting during the shutdown.
2 • Histograms and RFQs
Read the Microsoft Project schedule to build contractor requirements and vendor-specific RFQ drafts.
Control contractor spend
See resource demand by shift and trade so you can review crew sizes before paying for more people than the plan needs.
Get clearer quotes
Give vendors a consistent requirement to quote against, making it easier to compare offers and agree the right scope.
Plan hire and accommodation
Identify when resources are needed to reduce unnecessary hire days, travel and accommodation costs.
3 • Materials
Review picking slips and direct purchases against work orders, identify shortages, and share a clear materials readiness report.
Reduce paid waiting
Find material shortages against the affected work orders before crews arrive and start waiting for parts.
Avoid urgent freight
Follow up outstanding purchases early, reducing the need for expensive last-minute deliveries.
Improve job readiness
Keep picking slips and purchase status visible so teams can prioritise jobs that have the materials to finish.
4 • Shut Tracking
Enter job progress, compare target and actual completion, then produce the shutdown management report.
Respond to delays sooner
Compare actual progress with the plan so supervisors can act while there is still time to recover.
Use crews effectively
Focus the response on delayed jobs and available work instead of leaving resources idle or adding overtime without a clear need.
Protect the restart
Keep attention on work that could delay returning to production, helping protect operating time and its contribution to profit.

THE VALUE BEHIND THE WORKFLOW
A clearer plan.A stronger business case.
A shutdown costs more than the work on the tools. Planning hours, contractor time, equipment hire and delayed production all matter. AssetFlow gives your team the information to make better decisions about each.
Give planners time back.
Import work orders, generate the Microsoft Project schedule and review added, changed or removed scope.
See an import and a revised scope update.WHY IT MATTERS
Reduce repeated data entry and scope reconciliation. Put that time into checking job readiness and planning the work.
Measure: Planning hours per updateMatch resource spend to the work.
Build day and night shift requirements, accommodation needs, vendor budget estimates and RFQ drafts from your schedule.
Follow a schedule through to a vendor RFQ.WHY IT MATTERS
Review crew sizes and hire periods before committing spend. Give vendors a clear scope and shift breakdown to quote against.
Measure: Paid crew hours and hire daysResolve shortages before crews arrive.
Review material availability against work orders using imported Pronto reports.
Trace an outstanding item to its work order.WHY IT MATTERS
Identify outstanding items early so the team can follow up supply or review job readiness, reducing exposure to standby time and urgent freight.
Measure: Material-related delays and expedite costsProtect the return to production.
Compare target and actual progress, review critical jobs and export a clear shutdown report.
See a progress update and the resulting report.WHY IT MATTERS
Give supervisors visibility of slippage while there is time to respond. Focus the conversation on work that could delay the planned restart.
Measure: Overrun hours and response time
