Planning and scheduling is almost 90% of the total turnaround project. The remaining 10% is the execution process to keep the project on course. This is the reason why this course is so important. Poor prior planning often leads to cost overruns, delayed startups, production losses and profits. You can eliminate this by applying the principles taught in this up-to-date course.
Apart from saving your time and money for the next shutdown, this course will also discuss the more subtle art of manpower management in order to lay the foundations for a smoother sailing turnaround process, giving you an immediate return on investment when you return to the workplace.
Take advantage of the opportunity and bring shutdown schedules/programs from your plant to discuss during the workshop. At the end of the course, you will walk away equipped with the tools and confidence to plan, lead and execute turnarounds that are on-time, on-budget, and quality assured.
Effective Leadership: Attending this course will provide you a new and deeper understanding of how to effectively plan, manage, and lead large maintenance jobs such as power plant outages, refinery refits and in situations where a multi shift operation has extensive deferred maintenance to be performed in a short period.
Current Practices: The day-to-day planning processes that contribute more to shutdown planning will be defined, by maintaining an accurate backlog of work that can be delayed until Shutdown, Turnaround & Outage (STO) and then having accurate job plans available during the pre-shutdown period.
Useful Tools: This course includes specific checklists, procedures, strategies and important outside resources that will improve your current shutdown planning and execution. The course also includes examples to demonstrate the major points.
Importance of Logistics: We will also look at logistics and the supply chain that supports a shutdown and how the onsite storeroom operation and procurement staff can improve control of parts and materials.
