Shutdown, turnaround and outage (STO) events are critical and high-stakes projects where every minute of downtime translates into significant production losses and operational costs. Therefore, optimizing these events is crucial to enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and maintaining a competitive advantage.

In this expert-led webinar wherein we addressed today's key STO challenges and explored best practices that can optimize your STO operations.

#### Session takeaways:

- **How to minimize facility downtime and production losses**  
  Discover how our customers leverage ALICE to integrate their existing P6 and MS Project schedules and run advanced simulations to determine the optimal work sequence to minimize losses.
- **How to minimize turnaround costs**  
  How to automate scheduling activities and make data-driven resourcing and logistics decisions to minimize spiraling turnaround costs.
- **How to optimize for risks and delays**  
  See how ALICE enables automated, generative project recovery and creates an anti-fragile schedule to efficiently manage, mitigate and recover from risks.
