CRITICAL-PATH & SCHEDULE ASSURANCE

During the outage, slippage on the critical path is spotted too late, in the morning meeting rather than as it forms, and recovery options are argued rather than modelled.

Actors

  • Outage Manager
  • Planner
  • Programme Director

Systems / Vendors

  • Primavera P6
  • IBM Maximo
  • Field progress apps

Business Question

"Which job on the critical path is quietly slipping, and what does it cost the return to service?"

What SPoG Does

  • Tracks live progress against the schedule and isolates critical-path slippage.
  • Models recovery options and the impact on return to service.
  • Pushes the decision and the resource move to the right owner.
