Our Experience Augmentation services are not staff augmentation, but rather aim to complement the experience of a company or site’s staff with the expertise of AP-Networks’ senior consultants. Through an “on call” basis a few days a week or by way of a finite assignment, our senior staff will provide specialized turnaround assistance without the economic or logistical issues of acquiring long-term assistance. AP-Networks’ veteran team brings real world experience with varying managerial backgrounds from maintenance and operations to vice presidents and site managers. This depth of knowledge coupled with our independent perspective has consistently and effectively implemented strategic decisions, tactical activities, and proven practices that have shaped the way organizations approach turnarounds and everyday operations.

Our senior consultants are not only used to professionally influence and drive behavioral change in an organization, but also as coaches or mentors to actively demonstrate how to turn concepts into results. These results include but are not limited to:

• The development and implementation of a company and site wide turnaround work process
• The creation of an effective turnaround team with organizational buy-in and support
• The development and implementation of a successful turnaround strategy
• The development and optimization of a site turnaround portfolio to meet business and facility objectives
• The implementation of turnaround best practices through a mentoring role with the site’s turnaround manager
• The development of appropriate contracting strategies
• The reworking of a site’s resource planning strategy to effectively utilize local plant knowledge and talent in key pre-turnaround planning and execution roles
• The development and implementation of a material management and control process
• The development and implementation of a project controls process and work breakdown structure
