As a plant owner or manager you want your business to be producing non-stop. A business that is shut down is losing production. But sometimes a shutdown is unavoidable, for reasons such as maintenance and cleaning work, inspections or modifications to processes.
The shutdown of a plant or line is a complex event. A very diverse range of activities need to take place in a relatively short timeframe. Internal and external departments and people are involved. The risk of safety and environmental incidents is greater than during the normal production process. There are also major financial risks.
