About this Training Course

Turnarounds are complex projects that have a substantial impact on business performance. It is imperative that Turnarounds are effectively planned and executed, especially in continuous process industries such as Oil, Gas and Chemicals. Turnarounds are more than merely technical events carried out by the maintenance function. They are an integral part of any company’s business strategy. This highly complex, hazardous and, at times, technically difficult undertaking that affects so many companies and engages so many people at all levels of the company, is one critical activity within a life-cycle of plant. Compared with the wealth of information available on general maintenance subjects, much of what does exist seems to be built around planning and scheduling and tend to ignore the business approach to Turnarounds. The purpose of the course is to present a Model of Excellence for Turnarounds that has been developed and refined over a 30-year period by many hundreds of people working in different industries around the world. Participants will have the option to sit for a short exam on the final day of the course to gain a Certificate in Effective Plant Turnaround Management.
