1 Plant turnarounds are often being classified as ‘waste’ (non-value added activity) in an organisation. Therefore shutdown professionals have paramount responsibility and play a significant role in managing such capital, labour and time intensive projects, as any delay on the start-up will have costly impact on production.
Followed by the great success of our previous shutdown events, 6th Annual Shutdown and Outages Best Practices Forum 2010 will continue to examine the innovative ways to manage shutdowns, turnarounds and outages, focusing on process and people strategy improvements from planning, execution to post project stage.
This event will also provide you a fresh outlook of shutdowns, the best practices and its future roles in ensuring plant availability.
