Shutdown Management


Significantly Improved Outcomes Compared With Earlier Shutdowns

Problem

Westland had issues at earlier shutdowns and thus required an experienced shutdown management service provider to improve outcomes.

Solution

DETA delivered a shutdown management service to Westland Milk Products during the 2019 winter shutdown and delivered significantly improved outcomes from previously unplanned shutdowns.

Outcome

There are few activities on the maintenance calendar that pose a bigger risk to your production than shutdowns. They consume resources, create downtime, and are often plagued by over-runs and restart issues due to poor planning or scheduling. Shutdown Management is key to executing a successful and efficient shutdown programme of work through an integrated process between maintenance works and project works.
