Abstract
Turnaround maintenances (TAMs) are huge projects in terms of manpower and expenditure and therefore they have a direct effect to company’s profitability. TAMs include several challenges, such as prioritizing the maintenance tasks, scheduling the project, sharing information among all stakeholders on site and keeping focal company’s maintenance data in the IT systems updated. Due to the significance of TAM in economic and safety perspective, solutions for the challenges are needed, and advanced technologies could play a major role in solving these challenges. For example, sensor technology and software could help in evaluating asset condition and prioritizing maintenance tasks. In addition, mobile technology and apps could enable smoother information sharing on site. Moreover, external expertise could be brought into the TAM project by utilizing virtual- and augmented reality.
