Abstract
The complexities inherent in scheduling the execution of process plant turnaround projects present distinctive challenges to project managers in identifying the shortest project duration while determining the optimum crew size. In collaboration with a major plant turnaround contractor in Alberta, we monitored the execution of an oil refinery turnaround project. We looked into management processes in regard to turnaround project schedules development and skilled-labor resource allocation. This research conceptualizes a labor resource provision optimization methodology in the complex and dynamic context of turnaround scheduling to objectively quantify and reduce the crew size. The optimum quantities of specialty trades to be employed in the field can be determined objectively so as to staff a crew with sufficient skilled-labor resources while also minimizing the duration in executing a turnaround work package.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
