About
Scheduled turnarounds are difficult to manage. Managing a surprise shutdown or outage is like firefighting. Firefighters succeed because they know what strategies work and are highly trained to handle complex, risky situations. Uncertainty and complexity abound when a plant is down. Extra work can appear when equipment is opened and inspected. Integrating project work increases the challenge.
Experienced instructors show you how to control scope uncertainty, tackle the complexity of integrating project work, and get the facility restarted. The course addresses in detail the structure and process that is used to effectively manage all of the potential scope items that Operations, Maintenance, and project staff want to do during the TSO. The overall staged process and management oversight methodology is discussed in detail.
This course counts toward PMI Project Development Units (PDUs) through continuing education. Completion Certificates may be submitted to PMI as required to document third-party training.

This course also helps business, commercial, finance and other non-technical personnel who want to know more about turnaround, shutdown and outage best practices.
