One response to this has been to adopt a form of ‘risk transfer’ via outsourcing to make another party the ‘bearer’ of risk –i.e. appointing a contractor company that offers a ‘one-stop shop’ solution – to undertake the whole scope of a project by being the main contractor and subsequently managing the entire range of sub-contractor agreements to ensure that the deliverable in question is met in its entirety for the client/end-user. \nThese types of contract are often referred to as EPC (Engineering; Procurement and Construction contracts)\, whilst another common name for them is ‘Turnkey’ contracts. If the contract can be executed successfully\, the contractor stands to benefit\, whilst if there are problems and delays\, it is the contractor who may find themselves liable for bearing these costs. \nUnfortunately\, given the scale and scope of this species of commercial contract\, there is a great likelihood that most of the ambit of contractual misfortune in terms of breach; delay; quality issues; HSE compliance and local content issues (to name but a few) will manifest at some point during the project’s lifetime. This course will furnish delegates with a thorough understanding of the key components and their interactions of an EPC contract and will address issues relative to dispute resolution. Focus is on open dialogue and collective problem solving relative to case examples and class exercises. This course has been designed to provide an immersive\, value-adding experience to delegates who attend. \nOn completion of the course the participants will: \n\nBecome familiar with the importance of ‘scoping’ an EPC project correctly\nHave awareness of the key features and contractual provisions of an EPC contract\nHave a greater understanding of the dynamic nature of contractual provisions and some of the\nUnderstand how an EPC contract is structured\nGrasp the fundamentally important aspects of managing risk in an EPC contract\nKnow what to focus on for managing the commercial performance of an EPC contract\nBe aware of the vital importance of stakeholder mapping and identification\nUnderstand the importance of project change orders and how to efficiently manage change\nKnow how to structure and lead a high performance project team\nGrasp the importance of effectively managing the project supply chain and inventory functions\nGain relevant knowledge of arbitral proceedings and other dispute resolution methodologies such as mediation\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nContract personnel/managers/administrators\nProcurement departments\nIndividuals involved in managing project inventories\nIndividuals engaged within risk management\nTeam leaders\nAnyone else wanting to learn more about EPC contracts\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nBecome familiar with the importance of ‘scoping’ an EPC project correctly both from the client/end-user perspective and the contractor\nHave awareness of the key features and contractual provisions of an EPC contract\nHave a greater understanding of the dynamic nature of contractual provisions and some of the consequences that arise as a result of them within the commercial world\nUnderstand how an EPC contract is structured\nGrasp the fundamentally important aspects of managing risk in an EPC contract\nBecome familiar with key procurement aspects associated with EPC contracts and projects\nBe competent in supplier selection and evaluation\nKnow what to focus on for managing the commercial performance of an EPC contract\nUnderstand the importance of project change orders and how to efficiently manage change\nBe competent in managing critical interfaces in power projects such as access to grid; fuel specifications and the commissioning regime\nUnderstand the requirements and importance for EPC projects inefficiency of critical (long) lead items and their impacts\, both positive and potentially negative\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/managing-international-epc-contracts-in-global-power-industry-2/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Contracts,Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals,Procurement GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201026 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201029 DTSTAMP:20260601T211355 CREATED:20200824T054751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200824T054751Z UID:10001059-1603670400-1603929599@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Chartering Ships an A-Z Guide DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe course is designed to provide an intensive in-depth study of Chartering Contracts.
