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\nKey Learning Objectives\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\nIn-house Trainings Available Upon Request.

The purpose of the AML rules is to help detect and report suspicious activities including the predicate offenses to money laundering and terrorist financing\, such as securities fraud and market manipulation. Recent fraud transaction has included basic but sophisticated mirror transaction and as such\, it is a responsibility to monitor and report such activities to the financial authority. \nFATF Recommendations are recognized as the global anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) standard. The Recommendations were first drafted in the 1990 and were revised several times including with major changes introduced in 2001\, 2003 and 2012. As each country has different legal\, administrative\, operational and financial system\, the FATF Recommendations shall be individually adapted to fit one’s own circumstances. FATF has in the past issued statements pertaining to strategic deficiencies in AML/CFT regimes and as such\, both financial and non-financial institutions are advised to take appropriate actions and measures to address and to revise their AML/CFT regimes accordingly to the latest FATF recommendations.\n \nIn its 2015 Mutual Evaluation Report of Malaysia\, the FATF noted of the following points for improvement: “Malaysia’s understanding of risk is sound\, although improvements are needed in the assessment of Terrorist Financing (TF) risk to include more details for the private sector\, and to deepen the assessment of Money Laundering (ML) risks from foreign sourced threats. Improvements are needed to ensure financial intelligence is used to target investigations for at least all the high-risk crime types. Malaysia is not effectively targeting its high-risk offences (other than fraud) or foreign sourced threats in its prosecution of ML as most cases relate to low-medium level offence as it tends to pursue criminal justice measures rather than ML prosecutions”. \n“Malaysia Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) also tends to use security intelligence approach to terrorism prevention rather than the financial intelligence and criminal prosecution approach against the terrorism financiers although it has some successes using other criminal justice and administrative measures to disrupt TF risks. Malaysia’s legal framework for supervision is sound with most work carried out by RIs (Reporting Institutions) which are supervised by BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia). There is a gap however in BNM FIED’s (Financial Intelligence and Enforcement Department) available resources to supervise the large DNFBPs population. For RIs\, there is a need to transition from rules based to risk based approach and RIs do not always implement CDD requirements on a risk-sensitive basis and more need to be done to focus on transnational crime and foreign risks.” \nTherefore\, there are inherent vulnerabilities in regards to ML and TF risks as Malaysia is exposed to international trade and flow of capitals. This is real as Malaysia is also situated in a region with high risk of radical activities. In this workshop\, delegates will have deeper understanding of the risks and practices and to discuss and learn on improving national standards as per the latest FATF recommendations in order to eliminate or minimize ML and TF risks. \nWho Should Attend\nPrincipals especially those working in the Financial Industry including both the public sector (financial regulators and supervisors such as monetary authority and financial intelligence units) and private sector (such as Banking\, Insurance\, Securities\, Trusts and Service Providers) are encouraged and shall benefit by attending this course. \nA list of POTENTIAL ATTENDEES\, but not exhaustive\, is laid out below as follow: \n\nFinancial Transaction Regulators / Supervisors\nFinancial Intelligence Managers/Analysts\nPolicy Makers\nFinancial Institution Directors\nFinancial Institution (Senior) Vice Presidents\nAML/CFT Policy Analyst\nAML/CFT Compliance Analyst\nCompliance Managers\nCompliance Auditors\nDD Managers\nKYC Analyst\nRelationship Managers\nRisk Managers\nPrivate Equity Professionals\nLegal Managers/Supervisors\nFinancial Lawyers\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the latest developments in the industry regarding financial compliance\nBe AWARE of the implications arising from FATF Recommendations\nUNDERSTAND that ML/FT crimes evolve along with advances in Information Technology\nACQUIRE practical yet effective strategies for conducting KYC and CDD to counter the ever-sophisticated ML/FT typologies\nSTRENGTHEN compliance oversight on AML/CFT policies and coordination\nMITIGATE money laundering and terrorist financing risks based on risk- based approach (RBA)\nENSURE that the AML/CFT regime is adequate to address such risks\nNETWORK with fellow delegates (from both public and private sector) from similar background and build contacts\n\nIn-house Trainings Available Upon Request.

Therefore\, there is a need to understand the use of these principles with respect to the level of uncertainty and on the risk criteria. In this case-study led workshop\, delegates will be taught on the key concepts\, and approaches taken to demonstrate or provide evidence on ALARP. The idea behind ALARP is to demonstrate risk reductions in MHI based on reasonable practicability and gross disproportion\, which is a balancing act between cost and risk. As far as the application of numerical risk criteria is concerned\, it is not always correct and thus the demonstration of ALARP and the usage of risk criteria should be justified based on the categorization of risk which may be either qualitative\, semi-quantitative\, or quantitative. Many Countries regulate Major Hazard sites using a safety case regime based on a risk-based approach to process safety; Singapore is rolling out such a regime as mentioned. These regimes require that risk is controlled to ALARP (As Low AS Reasonably Practicable) level which is a very different approach to safety management than the compliance approach that many operators are familiar with. This course covers the important principles of ALARP\, which is a commonly misunderstood concept. It discusses the variability of ALARP requirements for managing similar hazards in different circumstances and the application of risk targets. It looks at different ways of assessing risk from quantified approaches to qualitative approaches for both consequence and frequency analysis and when to use these. The application of inherent safety principles and recognised good practice are discussed along with Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and the concepts of reasonably practicable and disproportionality. Besides demonstrating ALARP in the safety case\, ALARP should be applied throughout the lifecycle of any facility. This workshop will touch on how to apply the concept in different situations such as during design\, specifying instrumented safety systems\, operating procedures\, and coverage during maintenance of safety critical equipment. Several case studies are presented for the delegates to work through and a discussion on common errors and how the concept is often misused. Throughout this workshop\, participants will be taught on how to prove that ALARP has been properly implemented as part of effective risk management and how ALARP is implemented in the design\, development\, and operation of engineering systems. \nList of Case Studies & ALARP Principles \nThis workshop is designed to be interactive with participants getting to join in the discussion and will get to share and contribute his work experience for common learning experience. The trainer will provide and share a list of case studies to participants and it draws from his previous and present work experience when he works on ALARP and a list of some of his case studies is as follows: \n\nVarying ALARP requirements – Tank Farm overfill\nApplying Inherent Safety principles in ALARP – Solvents tank farm\n\nNo industrial activity is entirely free from risk and so many companies and regulators around the world require that safety risks are reduced to levels that are As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The ‘ALARP’ region lies somewhere between unacceptably high and negligible risk levels. Even if a level of risk has been judged to be in the ‘ALARP’ region\, it is still necessary to consider introducing further risk reduction measures to drive the remaining risks downward. Keeping ‘As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)’is an essential part of mechanical engineering across all major industries. The application of the ALARP framework varies depending on the technical and economic context. The ALARP level is reached when the time\, trouble and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained. However\, during operations\, the attention is on collecting feedback\, improving procedures and managing change to maintain the residual risk at an ALARP level and the ALARP today may not be the ALARP tomorrow and hence\, periodic review is necessary. In Singapore\, process safety is covered under the WSH Act and specifically under the following regulations: \n\nWSH (Risk Management) Regulations\nWSH (General Provisions) Regulations\nWSH (Registration of Factories) Regulations\nWSH (Safety and Health Management System) Regulations\nRecently WSH (Major Hazard Installations) Regulations\n\nWith the recently enacted WSH (Major Hazards Installations) Regulations\, companies are now required to draft and submit safety case to Major Hazards Department\, Ministry of Manpower in order to obtain Major Hazard Installation certificate of registration. In the safety case\, companies are required to submit PHA study and in it\, is the is the ALARP Demonstration. \nWho Should Attend\nEngineers\, Executives\, Supervisors\, and Managers especially those who work in Technical & Planning\, Production/Operation\, Engineering\, and SHE departments in Refinery\, Chemicals\, and Petrochemical settings will benefit by attending this course. \nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nProcess Engineer\nProcess Champion\nEHS Engineer\nProduction Engineer\nProduction Supervisor\nMaintenance Engineer\nOperations Engineer\nMechanical Engineer\nPiping Engineer\nProduction Manager\nTechnical Manager\nTechnical Development Manager\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the essential principles of ALARP and how it fits within a Safety Case\nGAIN the key concepts of ALARP principles and the fundamental approaches for its applications\nKNOW the HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions\nUNDERSTAND the approaches to good practice and to demonstrate ALARP using different decision making criteria\nACQUIRE tools and techniques to determine factors in selecting or rejecting control measures\nWith each process deviation\, APPLY the concept of ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable) or risk elimination on the causes and consequences\nBECOME familiar with PHA study\, its context in WSH Act and its relation in Safety Case regime\nExercise CAUTION in regards to reverse ALARP whereby CBA or QRA is used to justify higher risk\n\nIn-house Trainings Available Upon Request.

Regulators and governments demand more compliance to an ever-growing number of rules and laws are deemed necessary to protect life and the environment. \nFact is that regulations\, rules or compliance enforcement impair an organization’ functioning. The success and sustainability of a business or other organizations are not only determined by financial or economic performance\, but also by a good reputation which can only be earned by acting socially\, environmentally and humanly responsible. Rules and regulations become guidelines. \nIntegrated Reporting \nThis workshop introduces Systems Science as a way of being comprehensive while managing complexity. \nWhen we learn to see business and life as networks within natural systems and understand interrelation and interdependence with these natural systems\, risks are minimized. Sustainability is not feasible without systems thinking. The start of sustainability is understanding what your impact on reality is. You will be taught how to condense Integrated Reporting into a manageable form. \nWho Should Attend\n\nMembers of any organization interested in risk management and maximum functionality\nCompliance officers\nRisk Managers\nGovernment regulators and politicians\nHealth\, Safety and Environment managers\nRepresentatives of NGO’s concerned with sustainability issues\nShare-and Stakeholders\nIndividuals interested in sustainability and personal excellence\nProfessionals and students interested in sustainable economics\nBusiness Ethics and CSR professionals\n\nKey Learning Objectives\nMaster operational best practices in value awareness and learn how to balance the forces in your system of enterprise.

RCM is done by asking seven questions about our asset or system that is being maintained \n\nWhat are the functions and associated performance standards of the asset in its present operating context?\nIn what ways does it fail to fulfill its functions?\nWhat causes each functional failure ?\nWhat happens when each failure occurs ?\nIn what ways does each failure matters ?\nWhat can be done to predict or prevent each failure ?\nWhat should be done if a suitable proactive tasks cannot be found ?\n\nRCM was discovered by Stanley Nowlan and Howard Heap from United Airlines industry and emerged from the most important piece of research ever done on an equipment. RCM explains the capabilities as well as the limitation of scheduled Preventive Maintenance. RCM is a process to determine what should be done in order to ensure that our physical assets continue to do whatever the user wants them to do in its present operating context. \nIf you are happy with the way you and your people perform maintenance\, then I am glad for you and you\ndon’t need this course\, but if you ever wonder and have the slightest doubt that your current Preventive\nMaintenance strategy is not enough despite your very best and noble efforts\, then you defiitely need to\nattend this course. \nWho Should Attend\n\nAll Maintenance Professionals\nMaintenance Managers\nMaintenance Supervisors\nFacilities Managers\nPreventive Maintenance Group\nPredictive Maintenance Groups\nReliability Engineers and Managers\nMaintenance Planners\nOperations and Production Managers\nManagement and Decision Makers\nContinuous Improvement Groups\nPeople in charge of their assets\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nProvide a deeper understanding on what it takes for our maintenance to be most effective and efficient\nRealize that maintenance tasks will be based from the consequences of the failure itself\nKnow when to use the different maintenance tasks at hand with the aid of a Decision Diagram\nLearn the 6 failure patterns and how it affects us in our day to day maintenance activities\nLearn how to apply Reliability-Centred Maintenance in our daily activities URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/reliability-centered-maintenance-2/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170830 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170831 DTSTAMP:20260531T054909 CREATED:20170623T072551Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211220T021013Z UID:10000216-1504051200-1504137599@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Bid Management and Tender Evaluation DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe emphasis of learning is to provide a framework within which an effective and efficient tender process can be designed and implemented\, a positive approach that leads not only to the appointment of appropriate suppliers but to ensuring that the ongoing relationship is a mutually beneficial\, respectful\, proactive and strong one ensuring a much sought after\, wholly balanced and highly effective Bid and Tender Management process. \nThe course is designed to fully equip delegates with the necessary understanding\, skills\, tools and templates to swiftly and effectively implement world-class tendered procurement strategies and processes to ensure that the organisation is able to capitalise on a the many opportunities available when utilising a class leading approach to a well-structured and thought out\, tender process. \nThe course provides the basis for being a “good customer” by embracing a structure to the tendering process that ensures engaging with a valuable supplier partner.

One of the key components of Safety Case is to demonstrate risk reduction to ALARP level by adopting and implementing control measures. Therefore\, there is a need to understand the use of these principles with respect to the level of uncertainty and on the risk criteria. In this case-study led workshop\, delegates will be taught on the key concepts\, and approaches taken to demonstrate or provide evidence on ALARP. The idea behind ALARP is to demonstrate risk reductions in MHI based on reasonable practicability and gross disproportion\, which is a balancing act between cost and risk. As far as the application of numerical risk criteria is concerned\, it is not always correct and thus the demonstration of ALARP and the usage of risk criteria should be justified based on the categorization of risk which may be either qualitative\, semi-quantitative\, or quantitative. Many Countries regulate Major Hazard sites using a \nsafety case regime based on a risk-based approach to process safety; Singapore is rolling out such a regime as mentioned. These regimes require that risk is controlled to ALARP (As Low AS Reasonably Practicable) level which is a very different approach to safety management than the compliance approach that many operators are familiar with. This course covers the important principles of ALARP\, which is a commonly misunderstood concept. It discusses the variability of ALARP requirements for managing similar hazards in different circumstances and the application of risk targets. It looks at different ways of assessing risk from quantified approaches to qualitative approaches for both consequence and frequency analysis and when to use these. The application of inherent safety principles and recognised good practice are discussed along with Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and the concepts of reasonably practicable and disproportionality. Besides demonstrating ALARP in the safety case\, ALARP should be applied throughout the lifecycle of any facility. This workshop will touch on how to apply the concept in different situations such as during design\, specifying instrumented safety systems\, operating procedures\, and coverage during maintenance of safety critical equipment. Several case studies are presented for the delegates to work through and a discussion on common errors and how the concept is often misused. Throughout this workshop\, participants will be\ntaught on how to prove that ALARP has been properly implemented as part of effective risk management and how ALARP is implemented in the design\, development\, and operation of engineering systems. \nList of Case Studies & ALARP Principles\nThis workshop is designed to be interactive with participants getting to join in the discussion and will get to share and contribute his work experience for common learning experience. The trainer will provide and share a list of case studies to participants and it draws from his previous and present work experience when he works on ALARP and the list is as follow: \n\nVarying ALARP requirements – Tank Farm overfill\nApplying Inherent Safety principles in ALARP – Solvents tank farm\n\nNo industrial activity is entirely free from risk and so many companies and regulators around the world require that safety risks are reduced to levels that are As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The ‘ALARP’ region lies somewhere between unacceptably high and negligible risk levels. Even if a level of risk has been judged to be in the ‘ALARP’ region\, it is still necessary to consider introducing further risk reduction measures\nto drive the remaining risks downward. Keeping ‘As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)’is an essential part of mechanical engineering across all major industries. The application of the ALARP framework varies depending on the technical and economic context. \nThe ALARP level is reached when the time\, trouble and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained. However\, during operations\, the attention is on collecting feedback\, improving procedures and managing change to maintain the residual risk at an ALARP level and the ALARP today may not be the ALARP tomorrow and hence\, periodic review is\nnecessary. In Singapore\, process safety is covered under the WSH Act and specifically under the following regulations: \n\nWSH (Risk Management) Regulations\nWSH (General Provisions) Regulations\nWSH (Registration of Factories) Regulations\nWSH (Safety and Health Management System) Regulations\nRecently WSH (Major Hazard Installations) Regulations\n\nWith the recently enacted WSH (Major Hazards Installations) Regulations\, companies are now required to draft and submit safety case to Major Hazards Department\, Ministry of Manpower in order to obtain Major Hazard Installation certificate of registration. In the safety case\, companies are required to submit PHA study and in it\, is the HAZOP study. \nWho Should Attend\nEngineers\, Executives\, Supervisors\, and Managers especially those who work in Technical & Planning\, Production/Operation\, Engineering\, and SHE departments in Refinery\, Chemicals\, and Petrochemical settings will benefit by attending this course. \nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nProcess Engineer\nProcess Champion\nEHS Engineer\nProduction Engineer\nProduction Supervisor\nMaintenance Engineer\nOperations Engineer\nMechanical Engineer\nPiping Engineer\nProduction Manager\nTechnical Manager\nTechnical Development Manager\n\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nLEARN the essential principles of ALARP and how it fits within a Safety Case\nGAIN the key concepts of ALARP principles and the fundamental approaches for its applications\nKNOW the HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions\nUNDERSTAND the approaches to good practice and to demonstrate ALARP using different decision making criteria\nACQUIRE tools and techniques to determine factors in selecting or rejecting control measures\nWith each process deviation\, APPLY the concept of ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable) or risk elimination on the causes and consequences\nBECOME familiar with PHA study\, its context in WSH Act and its relation in Safety Case regime\nExercise CAUTION in regards to reverse ALARP whereby CBA or QRA is used to justify higher risk URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/alarp-principles-guidelines/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20170622T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Singapore:20170622T170000 DTSTAMP:20260531T054909 CREATED:20170622T080258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170622T080603Z UID:10000045-1498118400-1498150800@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Sequence Stratigraphy for Carbonates DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis three day advanced workshop introduces through lectures and exercises the principles of carbonate sequence stratigraphy as applied to hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir characterization.

Organizations need to be aware of the vulnerabilities and risks associated with bribery and corruption. Regardless of the size of the organization\, purchasing activities will inevitably attract a fraudster’s attention when it reaches a significant level. Coupled with the possible lack of internal control\, confidential information may be leaked and fraudsters may make use of the opportunity to their benefit. Attending this course will give delegates the critical knowledge and skills to discover procurement fraud opportunities commonly used to breach and exploit corporate accounts. Understanding how such fraud is committed is crucial to take on countermeasures to strengthen the organization’s internal control. This course enables you to identify vulnerabilities in your organization’s procurement procedures\, operations protocols and contract and tender drafting and also provides solutions to those loopholes to mitigate the risks of fraud. Furthermore\, the section on procurement fraud detection will provide delegates with essential investigation skills and efficient response plans. \nWho Should Attend:\n\nHead of Procurement\nInternal Auditors\nChief Procurement Officers\nProcurement Managers\nAssistant Procurement Managers\nContract and Tender Managers\nRisk Management Managers\nLegal/Compliance Executive\nFinance Managers\nProject Managers\nBuyers\nFraud Investigators and Managers\nIncluding key personnel involved in the procurement process of their organization\, from all industries.\n\n  \nEndorsed By: URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/combating-procurement-fraud-hong-kong/ LOCATION:Hong Kong\, Hong Kong CATEGORIES:Procurement GEO:22.396428;114.109497 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
