Cenovus MasterClass: Shutdowns & Turnarounds Class

Team training and early planning is now recognized as a critical element to the overall success of any STO process. Success is dependent on the ability of the turnaround team to work within a turnaround procedure prepared in the boardroom and executed in the field by others. The unique PMTP approach bridges the gap between planning process and the implementation, taking its participants through every step of the process and allowing them to capitalize on their manpower and their resources.

The MasterClass qualifies for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours, and is recognized by ASET, APEGA, APEGS, SASTT and the Alberta Boiler Safety Association.

Course Objective

The course objective is to provide an overall theoretical perspective of the Turnaround Management System. The theory is then applied in detail with case studies and work sheets specifically for the organization and execution phases. The theory and practical application are then presented in a Turnaround Management System checklist format. Practical exercises are designed to test the participant’s knowledge and shows how to move the detailed planning from the office to field execution.

Attendees

This course will benefit all persons directly or indirectly related to the turnaround, shutdown or outage, regardless of position within the plant facility, including senior management and contractor.
