OUTAGE! The Planning and Scheduling Experience

Outage! is a unique, interactive simulation game that replicates a real maintenance outage with the typical problems of parts, workforce constraints, quality control concerns, contractor issues, planning and scheduling dilemmas, work orders, safety, risk assessments, and more.
