How LyondellBasell Enhanced Turnaround Cost Estimation with Cleopatra Enterprise
Introduction to LyondellBasell’s Quest for a Turnaround Cost Estimating Tool
As a global leader in technology, LyondellBasell employs cutting-edge manufacturing processes, catalysts, and services. The company recently sought a more advanced method for cost estimating associated with its turnaround projects. Cleopatra Enterprise’s turnaround management software was adopted as a solution, chosen for its reputation as a comprehensive global cost estimating tool and its suitability for turnaround projects and maintenance activities.
How and Why Cleopatra Was Implemented
Several key factors influenced LyondellBasell’s decision to implement Cleopatra Enterprise for its turnaround cost estimation:
- First of all, the program interface is sophisticated, intuitive, and easy to use.
- Cleopatra Enterprise enables the creation of estimates rapidly in the early stages of a project, while its customizable features add significant value to turnaround initiatives. Regular turnaround considerations, such as overtime and managing multiple contractors for the same discipline, can easily be incorporated into estimates.
- Finally, because of the interface with Primavera software, it becomes very easy to create a plan – and adjust that planning on the fly – based on the cost estimate, which saves us valuable time and effort.
These advantages illustrate why Cleopatra Enterprise has proven to be a valuable tool in supporting LyondellBasell’s turnaround projects, enhancing efficiency, and simplifying the management of these operations.
