The problem
What makes manufacturing project management hard
Very tight plant shutdown windows
Maintenance shutdowns have 5–15 day windows. Every hour of delay is lost production. TPLANNER's Gantt with critical path optimises the sequence to maximise work parallelism.
Coordination of multiple simultaneous specialties
Mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil — all working in parallel. TPLANNER lets you spot resource conflicts and cross-discipline dependencies before they hit the field.
CAPEX budgets reviewed every quarter
Engineering needs to report CAPEX status to the CFO each quarter. TPLANNER generates the status report with EVM, S-curve and final cost projection in minutes.
The solution
TPLANNER for manufacturing
WBS by technical specialty
Organise the project by disciplines: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Automation. Up to 7 levels for high technical complexity projects.
Man-hour and resource control
Assign man-hours per activity and specialty. Compare planned vs. executed hours. Ideal for projects with man-hour labour contracts.
Planned shutdown management
Define shutdown windows as calendar constraints. The system automatically calculates dates respecting available days per specialty.
CAPEX status dashboard
Consolidated project status view with traffic lights per work package. Ideal for board presentations at investment review meetings.
