Turnaround progress entry more efficient and streamlined at the refinery
Client Overview

Challenges
-
The refinery needed a way to streamline data entry and schedule updating.
-
Manual data entry of progress after each shift was taking two schedulers 4-5 hours to complete, which took time away from the analysis of their updated schedules.
Results
-
Schedule updates take a matter of minutes using bar code scanners, rather than several hours.
-
The time savings using TAPS freed up schedulers' time to analyze the results and provide better reports to management after each shift.
-
Primavera P6 updates are now more accurate.
