The Imperial Corporate Training Institute’s course on Petrochemical Project Management and Planning has been designed to provide professionals a thorough understanding of how to plan, manage, and control complex petrochemical projects from beginning to end. Most petrochemical projects require a large capital investment, have numerous regulatory constraints, involve a wide variety of complex engineering interfaces and are often required to be completed on an aggressive schedule. The course will provide participants with a systematic approach to the challenges of managing a petrochemical project, by providing participants with proven project management methodologies that have been developed specifically for the operational environment of the petrochemical industry. Participants will also learn how efficient use of project scheduling and project planning techniques as well as controlling the overall costs of a petrochemical project contribute to its overall success and the success of the petrochemical company for years to come.
The Petrochemical Project Management and Planning training program covers the entire project life-cycle from the concept phase through to project closure. Training will focus on developing strategies for the effective management of project risks, resource allocation, budgeting and team cooperation to ensure that petrochemical projects are successfully completed in a timely manner and within the established budget. Participants will work on hands-on exercises and projects based on real world situations that address how to align the technical aspects of a petrochemical project with the company’s overall business objectives, how to manage a multi-disciplinary project team, and how to control project costs and project performance indicators. The course will be particularly beneficial for those individuals wishing to enhance their knowledge and skills within the area of petroleum/petrochemical project management; refineries, petrochemical plants and similar industries.
Objectives
By the end of this petrochemical training course, participants will be able to:
- You will develop a basic understanding of how basic principles of project management can be applied specifically to an industry within the petrochemical sector.
- You will learn about structured scheduling techniques that can be applied in order to manage:
- Managing timelines and their interdependencies via the structured scheduling technique of the Critical Path Method (CPM). You will also learn about how to develop operational plans for project management so that they align with the project’s goals.
- You will learn about risk management as a means of identifying, measuring and controlling the project risks associated with the execution of the project.
- You will develop the ability to effectively optimize the allocation of resources for the project’s engineering, procuring, constructing and commissioning activities.
- The development of and management of a realistic project Budget for capital intensive projects.
- You will learn about preventing the loss of your project budget by using frequently incorporated means of cost control to monitor/capture expenditures.
- How to increase collaboration among your project team, which may consist of individuals from multiple disciplines and from multiple countries around the world.
- You will learn how to incorporate Safety, Quality and Compliance standards into project planning and execution.
- Using performance management tools and project controls to improve your decision-making processes.
