Abstract: This paper discusses on the feasibility of automatically verifying an outage schedule based on IT information. The discussion starts from how to model outage concepts to request for different sources of data such as the schedule of tagout, the tagout and lineup database, the CAD drawings (mechanical, P&ID and electrical ones), etc., and then proceed to the suggestions on the basis of an algorithm and tools that can assist the outage teams in verifying the schedule. The basic idea is to reuse existing software such as lineups visualization tools, P&ID and electrical drawings visualization tools, and impact propagation tools. Also a suggestion is made as to the new methodological proposals that can simplify outages preparation.
