I Work as a scheduler for an asset owner in the chemical industry and within our team we deal exclusively with the preparation, planning and scheduling of turnarounds for different factory sites.
Due to a lack of schedulers, often a scheduler is hired from an external contractor.
We, as an asset owner internal team, would like to setup a sort of company specific scheduling handbook, which should serve
As a rough guideline for all schedulers working on turnaround projects, so they are more or less forced to work in the same style.
Is this an idea that makes sense ?
Does somebody have an example of such a handbook for me ?
What is the level of detail that makes sense to describe and oblige schedulers to ?
(Layout setup, Reports, amount of milestones or other technical scheduling stuff or keep it as generalized as possible so the scheduler has an amount of freedom he can work in ?)
I’m curious about your experiences or thoughts regarding this topic.
