About the Course
Shutdowns and turnarounds are high-stakes, multidisciplinary events. This course provides a repeatable framework that connects business goals to STO outcomes: clear roles and organization, rigorous risk management, disciplined scope creation and freeze, and planning standards that produce executable work packs.
You will practice CPM scheduling with resource smoothing/balancing, set realistic budgets and contingencies, and establish dashboards that track progress and productivity. We’ll cover contractor strategies, daily control rooms, and handling emergent work without losing the critical path.
Finally, you’ll integrate QA/HSE into every phase, prepare equipment for safe handover, and run structured closeouts—capturing lessons, benchmarking performance, and improving readiness for the next event.
Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Build a team-based STO strategy that aligns with business goals and ROI.
- Define, challenge, prioritize, and freeze scope using risk-based methods and CBM insights.
- Develop logic-linked CPM schedules with resource constraints resolved.
- Establish budgets, contingencies, and cost controls; apply earned-value (EVM).
- Prepare executable work packs (WBS, estimates, QA/HSE, permits, checklists).
- Plan and manage contractors: selection, contracts, KPIs, and daily governance.
- Run daily control: progress tracking, S-curves, variance handling, emergent work.
- Integrate HSE/quality, equipment isolation/LOTO, and start-up/commissioning plans.
- Conduct structured reviews and produce a closeout report with lessons learned.
