Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages

Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages (STO) are critical, high-impact events in industrial operations where facilities are partially or fully taken offline to perform maintenance, inspections, upgrades, and repairs. These events involve significant cost, risk, and coordination, making effective planning and execution essential to minimize downtime and ensure safety.

This program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, equips participants with structured methodologies, tools, and best practices to plan, manage, and execute STO events efficiently, ensuring operational excellence and cost optimization.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the lifecycle of shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages
• Develop comprehensive STO plans and schedules
• Manage scope, cost, and resources effectively
• Coordinate multidisciplinary teams and contractors
• Apply risk management and safety practices
• Monitor execution and control performance
• Optimize shutdown duration and cost
• Ensure successful project completion and restart

This program is designed for:

• Maintenance and Reliability Engineers
• Planning and Scheduling Engineers
• Project and Operations Managers
• Shutdown and Turnaround Coordinators
• Oil & Gas and Industrial Professionals
• Technical staff involved in maintenance projects
