FIELD NOTE
Make the outage window a design input
How site schedules can shape an upgrade before equipment is selected.
Ask about recovery as well as downtime
Some operations need time to restart, stabilize or confirm a safe handover. Capture those steps alongside the available shutdown window so the plan reflects the whole interruption.
Separate assumptions from approvals
Document provisional assumptions and assign someone to verify each one. Coordinate with the owner, operators and qualified design team before treating a proposed cutover sequence as approved.
Agree on what makes a handover complete
Decide which checks, records and sign-offs belong in the handover. Put the sequence in front of the people who will use it before a date is locked in.
