Automating Maintenance Planning

Creating an inspection analysis system to plan optimal maintenance

Data Science

The operation managers in charge of the pipestills at ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge refinery needed to plan maintenance downtime using inspection data, they expected this to take a year.

I automated their entire data processing system, generating updated part replacement recommendations and financial projections at the click of a button.

They had robust maintenance plans in less than 25% of the time they expected it to take. From now on, instead of requiring months to manually plan, they can use my system to generate reports in minutes.

“Steel diligently understood my unique needs and goals for large scale maintenance planning. This allowed him to use his unique expertise to deliver tailored solutions that far exceeded my expectations. He effectively quadrupled our throughput, all with minimal oversight. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants something done better than they thought possible.”

-Joseph Wendahl, Business Team Lead, ExxonMobil

“Steel transformed what I thought was possible, delivering rapid and precise outcomes that have left a lasting impact on not just the process he worked on, but on how we approach every problem. Steel will make whatever daunting task you need done seem easy.”

-Scott Vahldick, Materials Technical Lead, ExxonMobil
