OUTAGE IN A BOX®
AP+M’S ONE-STOP SOLUTION FOR YOUR PLANNED OUTAGE
Even the most well-planned outage can cause a power plant to experience 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 because more parts are needed.
