Abstract

 Within the scope of industrial megaprojects, such as a large-scale maintenance campaign for an oil platform, planning for tasks that will be executed in highly dynamic environments – defined by variability, uncertainty, and unforeseen events – is a challenging job. The Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) by the maintenance planning technicians showed that, despite the different strategies in use, there are limits in the possibility of predicting a future context. Thus, planning is a collective process of reducing uncertainty, but it requires instrumentalization of the players involved therewith.
Highlights
Within the scope of industrial megaprojects, such as a large-scale maintenance campaign for an oil platform, planning for tasks that will be executed in highly dynamic environments – defined by variability, uncertainty, and unforeseen events – is a challenging job
The forms of variability, on the other hand, may have to do with normal, inevitable or incidental situations. This characterization features the intense dynamism of the context in which the projects are executed, which is prompted by the occurrence of unforeseen events, and the sources of which being numerous (FORRIERRE et al, 2011)
This paper presents the theoretical framework, divided into two parts, namely: the shutdown as a large-scale industrial maintenance megaproject, and the planning process and the incompleteness of the plan
Summary
Project management deals with time and limited resources (PMI, 2008; 2013). The forms of variability, on the other hand, may have to do with normal, inevitable or incidental situations This characterization features the intense dynamism of the context in which the projects are executed, which is prompted by the occurrence of unforeseen events, and the sources of which being numerous (FORRIERRE et al, 2011). This article fits into the debate about the most recent approaches (PERMINOVA et al, 2008; SÖDERHOLM, 2008; LECHLER et al, 2012; SANDERSON, 2012; BÖHLE et al, 2016) from the perspective of actual work (COSTA, 2021) To this end, the results of large-scale maintenance planning work analysis of an oil platform, located in ultra-deep waters (offshore), will be presented. The proposed results and discussions are explained, and the final considerations hereof are shown
