Master the tools, strategy and leadership to execute high-stakes shutdowns successfully.
Plant shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages represent some of the most critical—and complex—operations in the process industry. When mismanaged, these events can spiral into budget overruns, schedule delays, and compromised safety and quality. This 5-day intensive course equips professionals with the knowledge and best practices needed to plan and execute shutdowns and turnarounds efficiently, safely, and profitably.
With a sharp focus on Critical Path Planning, Earned Value Management, and contractor coordination, delegates will explore an integrated approach to managing every phase of a shutdown. From risk management and team organisation to budgeting, control and quality assurance, participants will walk away with practical strategies and tools to lead turnarounds with precision.
Why This Course Is Important
Shutdowns and turnarounds are high-risk, high-reward periods in any plant’s lifecycle. When well-executed, they enhance operational reliability and cost-efficiency. Poorly managed, they lead to millions in losses and reputational damage. In an era of heightened operational scrutiny, shrinking budgets, and increased regulatory demands, professionals must apply structured, data-informed and team-driven shutdown practices. This course delivers that capability.
