This article presents a case study detailing the use of a precedence network to overcome some of the challenges associated with shifting start dates, fluctuating work scopes, contractor coordination, and parts delays during a cement plant outage. Sixteen days before a scheduled start of an outage, the sequential failure of two critical bucket elevators necessitated twice changing the start date, altering the work scope, and the coordination of all contractors and materials. This article details how a precedence network (also known as a critical path network ) allowed plant leadership to manage these issues and execute a safe successful outage.

使用优先网络应对水泥厂停运：适应不断变化的环境以保持项目正常进行


本文介绍了一个案例研究，详细介绍了使用优先网络来克服与水泥厂停运期间开始日期变化、工作范围波动、承包商协调和零件延误相关的一些挑战。在预定停电开始前 16 天，两台关键斗式提升机连续发生故障，需要两次更改开始日期、改变工作范围以及所有承包商和材料的协调。本文详细介绍了优先网络（也称为关键路径网络）如何允许工厂领导层管理这些问题并成功执行安全停电。
