What is Shutdown and Turnaround Management:

Shutdown and Turnaround management is a key function in all industry setups. Systematic and planned power shutdowns not only save equipments but also enhance their life. Planning and managing power shutdowns, power outages and turnarounds are a complex and highly demanding function in a factory or office environment. About turnarounds, if not properly planned, controlled or managed, companies would face budget or cost overruns and delays in schedule, which would have negative impacts on customers.

The engineering industry around the world is ploughed with several incidents of poorly managed shutdowns resulting in massive cost overruns and difficulties in resource planning.

Course overview:

The workshop on Shutdown and Turnaround Management conducted by Sahoo gives the participants a complete overview on shutdown techniques from the perspective of his own experience. Standard procedures for an effective shutdown involve application of many principles of good project management with some exceptions, which are explained in the workshop.

At the end of the workshop, practical application of theory will be done through a team-based case study.

Organizational Impact

How organizations get benefitted:

  • Employees become highly motivated with more confidence in their work
  • They can plan and manage shutdowns and turnarounds independently
  • Shutdown work quality gets improved with minimal chances of rework
  • Shutdown duration can be reduced due to avoidance of unnecessary work and making proper scheduling
  • Reduced cost is possible due to effective usage of resources
  • There will be only few logistical delays as a result of improved planning and communication
  • Risks will be minimized due to effective risk management

Course Introduction

Benefits to the participants :

  • They will have an edge over others while planning shutdown procedures.
  • They can effectively analyze, compile and communicate the initial scope and estimates.
  • Workers will have better understanding on how the shutdown/turnaround supports the objectives of the management and can plan accordingly.
  • Participants can recognize the shortcomings in the existing planning and scheduling and can make effective contribution for its improvement.
  • Trained workers would be viewed as a valued member of the team due to knowledge they have in all spheres of the shutdown and turnaround management.
  • Due to the exposure to quality training, participants will exert self-esteem, confidence and a fresh outlook and they would also be good at networking with professionals from other companies that face similar challenges.
