PROGRAM INTRODUCTION:

 

At the end of the course, the attendees will be updated with the following:

  • To develop a structured approach to troubleshooting and problem solving which 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?

 

The course is designed for Process Engineers, Supervisors and Superintendents, Senior Operators
