PROGRAMME SUMMARY:

The need for Plant Start Up and Commissioning is ongoing in any business that is growing, as new plant is added to expand capacity and to replace obsolete technology.

This programme aims to develop employees through exposure to the training and development experience provided by this programme, to build a “cadre” of knowledgeable and skilled staff who will be able to add value through their contributions to any situations involving plant start-up and commissioning.

They will be able to contribute in leadership or operational roles, both with knowledge and skills to ensure such projects are effectively and efficiently managed in a manner consistent with recognized best practices. A spin off benefit will be their ability to coach and impart learning to their peers and subordinates to the mutual benefit of individuals and organization.

About the six key stages of the commissioning process:

• To develop and overall commissioning and plant start-up strategy
• To deal with machinery and equipment specific commissioning issues
• How to manage issues dealing with the commissioning of Electrical, Instrumentation and Utilities Systems
• To develop a overall commissioning management plan, resource plan and budget
• Troubleshooting and Problem Solving strategies which can be applied during commissioning
• How to manage risks associated with commissioning

This programme addresses the needs of a diverse audience with an interest in Plant Start-up and Commission, including:

• General Managers who have oversight responsibility for Plant Start-up and Commissioning
• Operations and Maintenance Managers with direct line responsibility as well as staff support responsibility for delivering on effective Plant Start-up and Commissioning
• Plant Start-up and Commissioning Managers and Engineers
• Technical personnel involved in supporting Plant Start-up and Commissioning activities
• Supervisors and Engineers, both operations and maintenance who are involved or likely to be involved in Plant Start-up and Commissioning situations

Process Plant Start-up and Commissioning is a hands-on, stimulating learning experience. The programme will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment.

To ensure the concepts introduced during the programme are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentation, open discussion, case studies, simulations and group work.
