Plant shutdown for major maintenance on a periodical basis is not merely an insignificant technical event that is carried out by the maintenance function from time to time. It is in fact an integral part of any company’s business plan, which will directly cause major impacts on the company’s business performance. It is playing a pivotal role in ensuring the equipment reliability, production integrity as well as workers personal safety.
Plant shutdowns for scheduled major maintenance work are the most expensive and time consuming of maintenance projects because of the loss of production and the expense of the turnaround itself. The planning, preparation and execution of a turnaround is a complex undertaking that demands effective strategies and attention to details. It also requires a profound understanding of the critical elements to ensure successful turnarounds as well as the drivers and constraints that shape the event.
Why should you attend this workshop?
Approximately half of all turnarounds fail and frequent shutdowns attract negative publicity and impact share values. When it comes to turnaround situations, there is no second chance and speed, quality and project governance is everything.
This course will equip you to project manage your turnarounds and shutdowns and deliver on time, first time, on budget and on specification. Not attending this course and missing out on unique professional know how can seriously jeopardize your project success.
