Abstract

Factory turnaround maintenance projects are periodically carried out at the plant which will not only incur huge costs and consume resources but also result in loss of sales figures from non-operation of the plant during the implementation of the turnaround maintenance project. Maintenance activities or turnaround maintenance that exceeds the specified time, and unscheduled shutdown or unplanned shutdown events are factors that cause production loss and reduce the companys profit potential which ultimately leads to losses for the company.

This research aims to Identify the variables in turnaround maintenance planning process contributes to the extension of the duration of the turnaround maintenance work. Identified variables obtained are input to risk identification and assessment process. Risk assessment process conducted carried out using expert judgment and qualitative risk assessment process. Risk assessment process results in identifying methods to shorten the duration of turn around maintenance and developing methods to optimize turn around maintenance work so that turn around maintenance work can be carried out effectively, according to the planned time and with good quality so as to increase the interval between turn around maintenance work which ultimately supports production efficiency based on risk.
