About this course
Turnaround and Shutdown Management gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of turnaround life cycle and scope definition and control, then builds the skills to apply planning and scheduling, execution and safety and post-turnaround review in real work. Maintenance and reliability courses that cut downtime and cost, from planning and turnarounds to predictive analytics and digital twins. One of our most requested courses.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
