Shutdown and Turn Around Management

DESCRIPTION The engineering world is littered with examples of poor shutdowns with massive overruns in costs and problems in resource planning. Performing an effective shutdown is an example of applying many of the principles of good Project Management with some important exceptions which are outlined in the workshop. This workshop gives you an excellent review of shutdown management from the perspective of someone who has done it from the trenches. There are many case studies of successful shutdown projects to ensure that you get the latest and most up to date information to successfully apply to your next project no matter what position you hold. OBJECTIVES

1. Describe typical turnaround management techniques
2. Coordinate a simple turnaround project from planning to execution and handover
3. Coordinate the personnel in a shutdown and turnaround project
4. Apply shutdown best practices and planning
5. Build an effective maintenance project plan for shutdowns
6. Use critical path planning to identify risks and manage these risks effectively
7. Plan to meet deadlines and complete turnaround projects within budget and on time
8. Manage resources effectively on a turnaround project
9. Develop the personal skills critical to effective turnaround project management
10. Organize and improve performance to create a productive and competent team
11. Evaluate and make immediate use of Turnaround Project Management Software packages
