OUTAGE IN A BOX®

AP+M’S ONE-STOP SOLUTION FOR YOUR PLANNED OUTAGE

Even the most well-planned outage can cost a power plant in increased downtime and costly delays. That’s why AP+M’s OUTAGE IN A BOX® simplifies sourcing + inventory with thought-out, comprehensive preparation for your next planned outage.

WHY SIMPLIFY YOUR SOURCING + INVENTORY?

Typically, your planned outage requires various activities for sourcing, purchasing, and handling your outage consumables. Without OUTAGE IN A BOX®, these can amount to time and money lost due to…

Time Lost Finding + Receiving Parts

+ Identifying consumable lists

+ Soliciting supplier quotes

+ Reviewing RFAs and selecting suppliers

+ Issuing purchase orders

+ Tracking delivery

Costly Inspections, Including

+ Combustion Inspection

($6,000-$8,000)

+ Hot Gas Path Inspection

($12,000-$16,000)

+ Major Inspection

($16,000-$24,000)

WHAT’S THE RISK OF OVER- OR UNDER-PURCHASING?

Even after going through the above processes, there’s still the risk of over- or under-purchasing consumable parts for your outage.

Over-Purchasing

Wasting money on unused inventory + redelivering those parts to a warehouse and dealing with restocking fees.

Under-Purchasing

With under-purchasing, however, you lose time thanks to needing more parts than had originally been anticipated.

SO, WHAT’S OUTAGE IN A BOX®?

OUTAGE IN A BOX® is a complete, fully-stocked outage consumables kit secured in a conex that’s delivered directly to your site—inventory station included. Inside the box you find thousands of consumable parts, all customized to your site’s specific needs!
