Careers are made or lost on a plant turnaround: a safe, efficient, on-time, on-budget outage raises a profile, while an incident-prone and inefficient one leaves a corporate black cloud. Team training is now recognised as a critical element of turnaround success, because the procedure prepared in the boardroom is executed in the field by others. This programme takes the turnaround team through its areas of responsibility and their impact on safety, success and efficiency: strategy, governance and key milestones; scope development and optimisation; the planning process; contracting, procurement and materials management; quality; execution; and the post-turnaround review. Two detailed, extensive tasks reinforce the practical implementation throughout.

Frequently asked
Why train the turnaround team rather than individuals?
Because the procedure prepared in the boardroom is executed in the field by others. Team training is now recognised as a critical element of turnaround success, and the programme takes the whole turnaround team through its areas of responsibility and their impact on safety, success and efficiency.
Which phases of the turnaround cycle does the course cover?
The full cycle: strategy, governance and key milestones; scope development and optimisation; the planning process; contracting, procurement and materials management; quality; execution; and the post-turnaround review that improves the next outage. Two detailed, extensive practical tasks reinforce the implementation throughout.
Who should attend the plant turnaround training?
Turnaround and shutdown managers, planners and coordinators; mechanical, electrical, production and project engineers; HSE heads, managers, supervisors and advisors; and construction and contractor managers and supervisors — everyone whose decisions touch the outage’s safety, schedule and budget.
Can BIZENIUS run this in-house for our next turnaround?
Yes. An in-house edition can be tailored to your plant, contracting strategy and turnaround calendar, and BIZENIUS delivers in English and French. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
