Planning uncertainty
Forecasts are not correct or trustworthy, schedules are built on assumptions, dates move, and confidence drains away.
I partner with mining and oil and gas teams to stabilise planning, reduce schedule risk, and bring shutdowns and campaigns under control, without adding unnecessary complexity.
Peak Performance. Precision Planning.
The problem
It surfaces in the same three places, again and again.
Forecasts are not correct or trustworthy, schedules are built on assumptions, dates move, and confidence drains away.
Milestones drift, recovery never catches up, days and margin are lost, and the backlog keeps growing.
Reactionary behaviour increases, trust in equipment reliability declines, shutdowns overrun, and crews wait on parts, permits, or a plan that does not match the work.
The answer
Engage the one you need now, or combine them across the planning lifecycle.
Stabilise your planning and scheduling, bring delivery back under control.
02Scope, sequence, and resource shutdowns and campaigns so they start ready and finish on time.
03Make SAP PM and Primavera P6 work the way your site does, with clean data and structures you can trust.
04Test the plan before the work begins, surface the risks early, and prove readiness with evidence.
05Build the skill and discipline of your teams so strong it outlasts the engagement.
06Turn planning data into foresight with practical analytics and AI that earns its place.
Why Peak CPM
I started on the tools as a trade-qualified mechanical fitter and worked through every level of maintenance and planning to Operations Planning Superintendent on one of Australia's largest LNG projects. Across 30 years with Tier 1 operators in mining, LNG, oil and gas, and heavy industry, I have built planning systems from blank sheets, recovered them when they have broken down, and coached people from the tools up to the general manager's office. I lead with empathy, operate with evidence, and leave behind capability that outlasts the engagement.
