Turnaround-Network.com Upgraded with Real-Time Performance Benchmarks

Users of AP-Networks’ online Turnaround Network portal can now receive performance benchmarks in real time.

Bethesda, MD, October 13, 2017 – Asset Performance Networks (AP-Networks) has released a major update to the Turnaround Network (TAN) that adds real-time benchmarking capability to the industry-renowned software suite. Users can now input information on the scope of a particular turnaround directly into TAN, and the system will return a series of benchmarks comparing costs, labor hours, and peak labor against industry. The benchmarks are calculated using the AP-Networks Turnaround Database, which contains observations from more than 1,650 turnarounds, along with statistical models that normalize for turnaround complexity, scope, and location. Licensed TAN users looking to activate this feature at their site should contact support@www.ap-networks.com.

These benchmarks can be used for checking estimates  and ensuring targets are achievable.”
