Maintenance, Reliability & Engineering Management
Shutdown, Turnaround and Outage Management
This practical program develops capability in shutdown strategy, scope challenge, work packaging, critical path scheduling, contractor control, execution tracking and startup closeout. It can be customized for in-house delivery around the client’s assets, maintenance maturity, systems, operating risks and performance goals.
Objectives
- Apply practical methods for shutdown strategy, scope challenge, work packaging, critical path scheduling, contractor control, execution tracking and startup closeout.
- Diagnose maintenance, reliability, engineering and asset performance gaps using field evidence and structured data.
- Build action plans, templates, dashboards or recommendations that transfer to the workplace.
Target audience
- Maintenance managers, reliability engineers, planners, supervisors, facilities teams, operations leaders, engineering teams and asset-intensive organizations.
- Suitable for customized in-house delivery across industrial, utilities, facilities, healthcare, infrastructure and service environments.
