Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with chemical engineering principles, but also with many of the other engineering disciplines including electrical and instrumentation, but especially mechanical.
The process engineer is interested in the transportation and transformation of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics, and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control and economics.
The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases, often at high temperature and pressure. Of specific importance are failure modes such as fracture, fatigue and creep, corrosion and corrosion minimization, material properties, design standards, static & rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring. Sound mechanical engineering principles, together with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation, enable the mechanical engineer to design and maintain the equipment required by the process engineers

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.
In every organization, care is taken to manage risks, by seeking to eliminate those that can be removed, and reducing and managing the remainder. Part of this process involves developing robust contracts which apportion risk equitably and include a structure of indemnities with contractors, supported by a comprehensive insurance regime. In addition, it is important that contract personnel understand contractual risks and what insurance can (and cannot) do to remove the financial consequences of such risk; always remembering that insurance only mitigates the effect of risk, it does not make the risk itself go away.
A truth about life is our interdependence. Everything we accomplish within an organization is through the efforts of people working together. In spite of our technological advances, our competitive advantage lies in our ability to work effectively with other people.
This course is designed to provide leaders and professionals with a set of transformational tools and techniques to help them maximize their own and their team’s creative potential in a strategic context. Its starting-point is self-discovery: participants will work on the inside first and then focus outwards to impact on the world of business.
A company plan gives the entire organization a vision and a course to follow. All employees inside a corporation must have distinct objectives and adhere to the organization's direction or mission. This vision can be provided by a strategy, which also keeps people from losing sight of the objectives of their organization.
Inspirational leadership is a highly creative and intrinsically interpersonal activity to which people positively respond. As a leadership style, it demands that leaders employ their strengths with effect, where behaviors and values are paramount and where trust is established. This structured program seeks to explore the personal traits that make leaders inspirational in the context of their organization's strategy and culture. It offers a learning experience in which tools and techniques are employed to build leadership capability and a strategic response to the challenges of the role.
