Engineering and maintenance projects call for complex engineering and business trade-offs with due regard to compliance with regulatory and code requirements. A sound understanding of the key aspects of project objectives, drivers, constraints, and profitability is crucial for the success of a project. Fast-track schedules demand faster, more accurate technical and economic decisions earlier in the design process when engineers and business managers least understand project costs. Consequently, many process facilities cost more than they should.
Using the appropriate evaluation techniques and skills, engineering and economic decisions can be reached faster, more accurately, and with greater confidence, avoiding costly project delays and potential rework.
In cases where there is competition for resources between several technically viable projects, cost and schedule factors play a key role in ranking the projects based on their profitability. Similarly, costs and schedules have a major impact on the selection of the most cost-effective maintenance option from among several alternatives such as repair/replace or long/short term repairs.
This Economic & Technical Evaluations in Engineering & Maintenance Projects training course covers the basics of project development and management. It begins with the Project initiation and development phases and progresses through the project execution and control phase. It highlights the cost considerations and the degree of influence on costs in each phase.
The technical viability of a project, whether it involves new facilities or a repair method, must be ensured before the economic evaluation starts. The training course presents the technical fundamentals and provides guidelines and procedures for conducting technical evaluations.
The time value of money and life cycle cost concepts are essential aspects of economic evaluations. These topics will be covered in detail with the use of a number of worked examples.
This Economic & Technical Evaluations in Engineering & Maintenance Projects training course will comprise lectures and workshops that incorporate a number of short exercises to reinforce the key techniques discussed to maximize your benefits. Additionally, an optional “Question and Answer” period will provide you with opportunities to get expert answers to your specific questions.
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:
Overview:
Definitions of terms used in project development, analysis, and management
Project types and sizes:
Phase 1: Concept generation – potential ways of achieving project mission
Phase 2: Project definition - one option is selected and developed
Phase 3: Project implementation – continues through construction to the hand-over of the completed project
Project Management Process
Project definition
Project development
Project execution and control
Because supervisory levels are the link between the executive and senior management levels, achieving the organization's objectives, increasing productivity and overall performance of the organization, affects the effectiveness and efficiency of supervisors' performance. And because of the skills of supervisors in any organization in need of continuous development, and to acquire advanced tools and methods that reflect on the deepening of these skills and activate their role in motivating individuals working, and push them to commit to the goals of the organization. You need this conference to learn about supervisory skills and advanced methods, to be able to play an effective and supervisory role in your organization.
Managing an office has become an increasingly sophisticated and complex job. The increased demand for speed and accuracy, knowledge of new technology, and an increasingly diverse workforce bring challenges and also opportunities for growth. This dynamic and in-depth course explores some of the more advanced skills which can help an office manager to work more confidently, creatively, and effectively.
As a supervisor, the success of your organization rests in your hands. This course provides you with the opportunity to develop highly effective and essential supervisory skills that will strengthen teamwork and organizational success. Also, this course will help you manage everyday operations with greater ease. Furthermore, it will help you leverage both your managerial and people skills to meet your new challenges as the 21st-century supervisor.
This course is designed for participants to introduce to key issues and themes in international development. Participants will explore and engage in academic debates and discussions around a set of key factors that shape, influence, and constrain the development and prosperity of nations. The course will explore a number of key themes in international development, including how questions of gender and generation shape the impact of poverty; how processes of globalization, migration, and violent conflict impact development; and how development and the environment are linked. It also considers what exactly we mean by poverty, and how different ways of understanding poverty feed into different approaches to tackling it. It will also consider development institutions: what are the key institutions in the architecture of international development? How do they differ, and what are the challenges and opportunities they present? Through this module, participants will gain a solid background in the various factors which shape current approaches to and debates on international development. By introducing participants to a range of problems in economic development, we will look to analyze how economic theory and models can explain the lack of development in some nations. We will apply such theory to real-world economies to understand the nature of the problems they face and how effective policies can be in tackling the problems.
A five-day course on the practical aspects of piping and pipeline design, integrity, maintenance, and repair. The participants will obtain an in-depth understanding of the ASME B31 code rules and API standards, their technical basis, and practical application to field conditions.
Corporate/Public governance and risk management are critical There is increasing attention being paid to corporate governance and risk management in business schools and among legislators.
