Engineering and maintenance projects call for complex engineering and business trade-offs with due regard to compliance with regulatory and code requirements. A sound understanding of the key aspects of project objectives, drivers, constraints, and profitability is crucial for the success of a project. Fast-track schedules demand faster, more accurate technical and economic decisions earlier in the design process when engineers and business managers least understand project costs. Consequently, many process facilities cost more than they should.
Using the appropriate evaluation techniques and skills, engineering and economic decisions can be reached faster, more accurately, and with greater confidence, avoiding costly project delays and potential rework.
In cases where there is competition for resources between several technically viable projects, cost and schedule factors play a key role in ranking the projects based on their profitability. Similarly, costs and schedules have a major impact on the selection of the most cost-effective maintenance option from among several alternatives such as repair/replace or long/short term repairs.
This Economic & Technical Evaluations in Engineering & Maintenance Projects training course covers the basics of project development and management. It begins with the Project initiation and development phases and progresses through the project execution and control phase. It highlights the cost considerations and the degree of influence on costs in each phase.
The technical viability of a project, whether it involves new facilities or a repair method, must be ensured before the economic evaluation starts. The training course presents the technical fundamentals and provides guidelines and procedures for conducting technical evaluations.
The time value of money and life cycle cost concepts are essential aspects of economic evaluations. These topics will be covered in detail with the use of a number of worked examples.
This Economic & Technical Evaluations in Engineering & Maintenance Projects training course will comprise lectures and workshops that incorporate a number of short exercises to reinforce the key techniques discussed to maximize your benefits. Additionally, an optional “Question and Answer” period will provide you with opportunities to get expert answers to your specific questions.
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:

As a result, the course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the skills and knowledge that will be required for any person to further develop their business knowledge and skills and even to prepare them for actual formal study for an MBA. The course is designed to be delivered either as an “In House” class for an organization’s directors and senior management or as a public class where delegates from a number of companies can learn both from the course and from one another and exchange ideas and best practice.
Great achievers have always performed well by managing themselves and their capabilities. Self-management is critical for individuals to perform efficiently in both large and small businesses where they are called to perform various duties. Self-management inspires individuals to set their own goals, monitor their behavior in achieving those goals and reward themselves upon their success in achieving those goals. Self-management is the building block for effective management of other people, groups, and organizations. This highly participative seminar will help you to develop your leadership skills to lead others in times of crisis, pressure and stress. You will obtain the latest insights into what makes a leader able to manage themselves and others during times of crisis. Self-mastery is not achieved by accident - it is a process that occurs as we interact effectively with the events and circumstances of our lives. Each moment of our lives provides an opportunity to practice self-mastery by expanding our visions, awakening the faculties of our minds and our hearts, and assuming full responsibility for living, growing, and contributing. As we master our own emotions, we can enhance our ability to lead others, acting as a role model and someone others would truly wish to follow.

One of the major functions of contracting is to ensure that risks to owners and contractors are identified and managed in a way that both parties are satisfied with the project outcome. While a contract cannot, of itself, make risk “go away”, it can, and should, identify the risks, determine who is responsible for managing each risk, and for the consequences should the risk occur
This course aims to help participants learn how to enhance the operational risk management and resilience capabilities of their organizations. In particular, we focus on how the recent COVID-19 disaster made plain the strategic weaknesses of most organizations insofar as withstanding and responding to surprises.
