My first shutdown was in 1972 as an apprentice. Since then I have been involved in close to 100 shutdowns ranging from 1-day to 6-week outages.
My responsibilities have grown as I have gained experience. It is due to this progressive experience that I can say that I am well rounded in all areas.
As the cover of my book indicates, there are 9 areas of responsibility required to effectively plan, organize and execute a shutdown. I have experience in all of these areas: 1. Quality Assurance 2. Engineering 3. Maintenance 4. Operations 5. Turnaround Supervision 6. Administration 7. Procurement 8. Planning and Scheduling 9. HSE & Security (S-Safety)
My 38 years of heavy industry experience includes refining, heavy oil extraction and upgrading, pulp and paper, and food processing. I have chaired 2 international conferences on shutdown management and am a frequent speaker on the subject with both national and international experience in educational presentations. My largest conference as a presenter was in Naples, Florida, USA, which featured 860 participants representing 36 countries.
I am now President of JMC Consulting Ltd, and also author of the international best-selling technical manual Practical Management for Plant Turnarounds.
