Governments and regulatory bodies are the main actors in setting such levels of the first type in public private partnerships; the current shareholder interests drive the second. Many companies are involved with ISO 5500 Asset management programmes. \nReliability Engineering (RE)\, a sub-branch of Operational Research\, then is advocated to be an appropriate tool. However\, experience shows that the mathematical background of RE in many cases fails to recognise practical situations\, assuming information and operational conditions to be known to such extent that precise\, in-depth analysis is possible. Practical engineers\, generally being risk-aversive\, thus have an easy excuse of shying away from such “advanced scientific techniques” \, relying more on technical insight\, in many cases “gut feeling”. However\, the RE framework\, if properly used\, has proved to be an effective tool in decision support. \nThis workshop aims at such decision makers in the petrochemical area. It will provide the attendants with a substantiated opinion on system characteristics and analysis\, balancing technical insight with theoretical analysis. \nTraining methodology\nThe training will be given as a workshop with formal lectures and interactive exercises. Ample opportunities for discussion and experience sharing will be provided. Practical problems from attendants fit for discussion in class are welcomed. \nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is designed to be beneficial to all individuals who are involved in maintenance in the oil and gas and petrochemical industry. Job titles include but are not limited to \n\nMaintenance Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nOperations Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nProduction Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nProject Engineers/Supervisors/Managers\nLogistics co-ordinators\nPlanners\nPlant Manager/ Asset Manager\n\nBenefits of Attending\n\nTransform the vision of your organisation from maintenance support to Asset Management\nDeal with decisions requiring a proper understanding of chance and risk\nAnalyse system configurations in terms of potential production in relation with reliability and maintenance characteristics\nTo select and apply appropriate Reliability and Maintenance engineering methods (FMECA\, RBD\, FTA\, RCM\, RBM\, CBM) given available information\nSelect and store field information to steer and secure this management process\nUnderstand the methods that contribute to asset performance\, and that interact with and support each other\n\n  \nEndorsed By: URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/risk-and-reliability-engineering-for-oil-and-gas-and-petrochemicals/ LOCATION:Indonesia\, Indonesia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:-0.789275;113.921327 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160926 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160927 DTSTAMP:20260406T143605 CREATED:20170623T042019Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T042019Z UID:10000116-1474848000-1474934399@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Steam and Gas Turbines – Design\, Selection\, Operation and Maintenance DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe aim is to provide a satisfactory approach to the problems posed by turbines and the means to solve them.
