Managing Maintenance Shutdowns and Outages Seminar
This program is designed for:
Managing Maintenance Shutdowns and Outages is designed for heavy maintenance environments including refineries, power plants, oil platforms, airports, mines, large factories, and large facilities.
It was designed specifically for members of the shutdown or outage teams that might consist of planners, maintenance managers, project engineers, supervisors, maintenance engineers, non-maintenance managers responsible for shutdowns and people who are in training for these positions. Prior background in Project Management would be useful but not essential.
This course is 85% concerned with the time before the first spade of dirt is moved. The remaining 15% is execution tactics to keep the project on course. In this course the common phrases shutdown, outage and turnaround are used interchangeably.

Three options for the Maintenance Management Seminar
- Option 1: The most basic way is to just talk on the phone (or use E-mail) and then present a standard course. The courses are tried and tested and has been used to good effect in many maintenance situations.
- Option 2: The second and most common option involves a one day site visit before the class, which allows me to add examples from your facility and adjust the verbal presentation to more nearly suit your needs, meet some of the key players and see for myself some of the special problems you face.
- Option 3: The third option is to conduct a maintenance survey which looks at all of the aspects of maintenance, evaluates areas where improvements are possible and a slanting of the training to the competencies needed to implement the improvements uncovered in the survey.
This course is based on the work Managing Maintenance Shutdowns and Outages written by Joel Levitt and published by Industrial Press
