About the Course

Shutdown Management is an extension of the operational and maintenance effort to sustain its operational capability. It has a very significant impact on operations in terms of the committed effort and investment and therefore requires a rigorous justification foundation.

Shutdowns are typically managed in a complex environment as a consequence of the interaction between people, working in extreme locations, the complexity of physical assets, the extensive system and information requirements and of course, the time pressure to bring the plant back into full operational capacity.

Effective and efficient management of shutdowns remains a continuous focus area to improve business performance and being able to maintain and improve the shutdown management plans with associated supporting structures and infrastructure are basic requirements and cutting edge business knowledge.

Unique Course Approach

Key knowledge from this course is shared based on actual case studies to illustrate the concepts covered in the course material.

These case studies are taken from a variety of industries including mining, mobile fleets, power generation, brewing, cement and smelters to present various perspectives on the practices applied.

Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and to question and explore alternative approaches to their legacy processes.
