Choose the right perspective
Match the plant type to yours, since nuclear refueling outages run under different rules and timelines than outages at gas or coal plants. Also match the scope, because a site outage manager can speak to daily execution while a fleet outage manager can speak to standards and scheduling across several plants.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How far ahead do you start planning a major outage, and what decides the scope freeze date?
- 02How do you track outage schedule and cost day to day, and what triggers a recovery plan?
- 03How do you manage contractor staffing and work quality during a short, high-pressure outage?
