Shutdown Mood

 

Snapshot_20090720_3

My plant maintenance shutdown has already begun. I am in charge of Non Standard Repair (NSR) items, in which involves 29 work items scattered all over the plant. Managing 5 different contractors at those areas are not easy. A lot of internal collaboration between Maintenance, Operations, Technical Services, and contractors are crucial to succeed. Maintenance work coordination is not easy when you have several job around the plant, each with their own contractors. Arrangements for the pre work is a headache as preparation for NSR and documentation is insufficient. Contractors are not aware of blinding points required during maintenance work execution. Therefore, resulting in misunderstanding in the scope of work. Even myself have to consult the planner on certain issues arising from contractors.

Working shift from 7 am to 7 pm (most of the time more than 12 hours) will demolish all your personal time, especially your entertainment time. It is so difficult to find time to go to after work sessions, such as lepak at StarBucks for coffee… :-)

Since there are not many jobs today, I manage to take an early leave from the office to claim my personal time. Too bad all Engineering Services Department personal leave are frozen by our senior manager. Thus taking annual leave is not an option during shutdown period (21 days).

18 days more to go… Gambatteh!!!!
