Operational Excellence
in the Process Industry
Excellence and Learning from Disasters –
Applications of techniques in real case studies
Why Choose this Training Course?
This AZTech training course presents the best practices from High Reliability Organizations (HROs) with respect to both excellence and safety. HRO is a term that refers to industries such as oil and gas, process, nuclear and aviation, where they possess a high degree of reliability despite their hazardous environment. It shows how organizations can learn from failures and near misses, as well as from other industries. Operational excellence will cover aspects of safety, risk, reliability, and quality management. This will include best practice at both strategic and operational levels, as well as in specific areas that relate to management skills, reliability and decision analysis, bench marking, and information systems. This training course is designed to be highly interactive and applied, where theory is put into solid practice.
This AZTech training course will feature:
- Understanding of safety, risk and continuity of operations
- Development of people management skills
- Mastering techniques that can enhance plant reliability
- How to conduct benchmarking and quality systems auditing
