Large US Refinery Implements Emerald Tools
Learn how this refinery used P6-Loader and TAPS to improve accuracy and speed when working with data in their P6 schedules and how they used EP-datawarehouse and custom dashboards to help with cost control and management visibility for their turnarounds.
Cost controls more effective and schedule updating more streamlined
Client Overview

Challenges
-
Their Lima refinery was looking for a way to have more effective cost controls for their turnarounds.
-
They needed a way to streamline data entry and schedule updating and reporting.
Results
-
Emerald's Turnaround Productivity Package - TAPS, P6-Loader, EP-dashboard, and P6-Reporter (previously EP-datawarehouse) was implemented
-
Schedule updates are now completed in less than a quarter of the time. Updating takes a matter of minutes using TAPS, rather than several hours
-
P6-Loader streamlined the addition of found work to both the working schedule and the baseline schedule
-
P6-Reporter is used to store snapshotted data for multiple uses for EV and Trending
-
EP-dashboards utilize the snapshot data to create custom dashboards for management including Green-Ups, Inspections and S-Curves
From Our Customer
"Coming in at 6am instead of 4am each day made a big difference to our team; not only on a daily basis but by not being exhausted at the end of the turnaround. TAPS saved 600 grueling hours.”
