STO Bench Cloud-Based Tool

Changing the Way We Benchmark Turnarounds

Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages (STO) are critical planned events that affect cost, lost profit opportunity, reliability, safety, and overall business performance. Yet fewer than 5% of global STO events achieve all Business Value Chain targets, highlighting the need for a more objective and data driven approach to turnaround scope selection.

The world has advanced which leads to demands for more than just information now. Turnarounds are no different. There is an increased amount of available information and sensors to take in the information, but the organization needs to be able to understand that information, contextualize it, and make decisions about it. Many times benchmarks are key pieces of information to developing KPI’s. Benchmarks can ground Strategy and Steering Teams in how to measure success overall, but now technology gives the power to do that faster than ever. STO-Bench is a cloud-based tool that empowers organizations to accurately benchmark the scope, direct field labor hours, costs, and schedules of Turnarounds. STO-Bench provides real time, scope driven benchmarks for an endless set of scenarios of the users choosing, and it is changing the way Refiners look at Turnarounds.
