Start-Up and Commissioning of new plant and equipment present both a major technical and management challenge. An organization’s personnel must familiarise themselves with new equipment, processes, and technologies, develop the relevant operating and safety procedures.
This program addresses in an integrated manner the key activities involved in the safe, effective and timely commissioning and start-up of a new plant or facility. In this program you will learn:
About the six key stages of the commissioning process
How to balance the technical and management challenges of commissioning
How to deal with machinery and equipment specific commissioning issues
How to Manage Risks and Solve Problems during commissioning
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 an 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
Process Plant Start-up and Commissioning is a hands-on, stimulating learning experience. The program 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 program are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture-style presentations, open discussion, case studies, simulations, and group work.
The need for Plant Start-Up and Commissioning is ongoing in any business that is growing, as the new plant is added to expand capacity and to replace obsolete technology.
This program aims to develop employees through exposure to the training and development experience provided by this program, 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 organizations.
