Process Plant Troubleshooting & Engineering Problem Solving
Process Plant Troubleshooting & Engineering Problem Solving
OBJECTIVES
- To develop a structured approach to Troubleshooting and Problem Solving that uses a common terminology and shared understanding.
- To point the way to Continuous Improvement in the way you run your processes and make incremental efficiency gains.
- To understand the difference between having a techniques manual on the bookshelf – and actually making it work.
- To identify the “motivated” people who should be the champions of Troubleshooting and Problem Solving – and who should just follow.
- To understand work practices which “allow” success in Troubleshooting? And Problem Solving
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This seminar is directed at Maintenance & Operations Personnel, Supervisors, Engineering Teams and Team Leaders who are involved in the operations function and who are responsible for leading and directing people to achieve and improve productivity levels.
