Managing Efficient Shutdowns & Turnarounds
This course provides a complete step-by-step guide for managing shutdowns and turnarounds in process plants. It covers all phases of shutdowns and turnarounds, including initiation, planning, executing, controlling, and closing.
Description
Shutdown Turnaround outages involve both planned and unplanned activities resulting from inspection of a machine that is not accessible or visible during normal operaÂtion. The potential for identifying previously unforeseen work requirements discovered during inspection that must be performed within the defined time constraints of the STO adds rapid troubleshooting and decision-making capabilities. The success of the shutdown lies in completing it in the shortest possible time without cost overrun and without any safety incident.
This course provides a complete step-by-step guide for managing shutÂdowns and turnarounds in process plants.
It covers all phases of shutdowns and turnarounds, including initiation, planning, executing, controlling, and closing. It also covers many other aspects of shutdowns and turnaround management including performance evaluation and how to make it lean.
Course Objectives
By the end of this seminar delegates will be able to:
- To enhance the company’s turnaround management capabilities, and to ensure a team approach in the planning and execution of plant shutdowns and turnarounds
- Provide a comprehensive understanding of effective turnaround management techniques and implementation
- Create awareness of planning methods and an integrated organizational approach in the execution of successful turnarounds
- Incorporate latest developments in turnaround planning and management techniques and emerging industry trends
- Develop an action plan to improve their own turnaround management techniques
- Have a much clearer understanding of their own and every other team members role in ensuring a successful turnaround
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This workshop is a combination of dynamic instructor lead topic areas and class discussions. Interactive discussions will allow you to hear and learn best in class applications relating to shutdown and turnaround planning and execution techniques. The workshop ends in a practical application of theory in a team based case study.
Who is this Training Course for?
The seminar would undoubtedly be of immense value and interest to:
- Shutdown or turnaround professionals and coordinators
- Planning/scheduling and cost control staff
- Construction superintendents and supervisors
- Operations shutdown/outage coordinators
- Project engineers and contract administrators
- Participation from inspection, materials, safety and maintenance engineering is also encouraged
Participation from inspection, materials, safety and maintenance engineering is also encouraged.
The Course Content
Course Outcomes:
- Understand the concepts and importance and Shutdowns and Turnarounds
- How to facilitate the initiation process using tools and techniques to produce the final outputs
- The steps the Planning Team should follow to produce a detailed, overall time-based plan; not merely a work list.
- Performing Shutdown estimating; including the cost of doing the work and the time that it will take to complete it.
- Utilizing the skills and expertise of contractors’ managers, engineers, craftsmen, and buyers.
- Ordering, delivery, movement, and staging of repair parts, replacement material, and construction equipment to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the shutdown effort.
- Effective Shutdown Organisation: Identifying all key roles and, responsibilities and accountabilities
- Performing Shutdown Execution sub-phases: pre-shutdown work, shutting down, opening up and inspecting the plant.
- Apply Risk-based integrity management to find an optimal balance between asset care and business risk, hence maximizing your return.
- Assuring that potential physical, mechanical, chemical, and health hazards are recognized and provisions are made for safe operating practices and appropriate protective measures are in place.
- Shutdown communications management to determine who needs what information and when and then produce the plan to provide the needed information.
- Shutdown Control: Tracking progress, detection of variances, evaluate problem areas, taking corrective action
- Targeting quality standards that are relevant to the shutdown work and devising a plan to meet those standards.
- Plant commissioning to confirm and verify whether the newly installed facility would be able to meet the performance criteria and established goals.
