Abstract

Integrated activity planning (IAP) is a proven approach for dealing with complexity and uncertainty when operating complex production systems. IAP is driven by the need to deliver on production forecasts, optimise the decision making for the planning, scheduling and execution of activities impacting production, mitigate the risk associated with major shutdowns or bringing capital projects online and optimise interfaces to allow engineering, supply, maintenance and operations to work together seamlessly. Planning is typically spread across several time horizons, including long-term strategic business plans, medium-term program plans and short-term maintenance plans and operational activity scheduling. This paper provides a definition of IAP, a description of its value, a detailed case study from one of the world’s leading IAP implementations and a series of lessons learned.
