FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about OxMaint's shutdown management system.
Shutdown management software helps organisations plan, schedule, and execute plant shutdowns and turnarounds. It enables tracking of shutdown types (safety, planned, unplanned), cost estimation, critical path planning, task management, and work order integration—all from one centralised platform to minimise downtime and control costs.
OxMaint supports three main shutdown types: Safety Shutdowns (emergency stops for personnel and equipment protection), Planned Shutdowns (scheduled maintenance windows, annual turnarounds, and preventive maintenance), and Unplanned Shutdowns (emergency breakdowns requiring immediate response). Each type has dedicated tracking and reporting.
The cost estimation feature allows you to input estimated costs, estimated production loss, actual costs, and actual production loss for each shutdown. The system tracks budget variance in real-time, showing whether you're under or over budget. This helps with financial planning and post-shutdown analysis for continuous improvement.
Critical path planning identifies the longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines the minimum shutdown duration. By defining critical path duration in hours and tracking critical tasks, you can focus resources on the most time-sensitive activities. This helps optimise turnaround duration and ensures on-time completion.
Yes! You can link multiple work orders to a single shutdown schedule for complete traceability. This integration ensures all maintenance work is properly documented, tracked, and executed during the shutdown window. You can monitor work order progress directly within the shutdown dashboard and generate comprehensive reports.
