By John Mikko Barquin

2008 Views

This course is set at an intermediate level, for those who already have some project controls experience but wish to improve their competence in project planning and scheduling, especially in the presence of risk.

Risk Management in Project Contract Negotiation and Management

By John Mikko Barquin

616 Views

Many project scopes are now executed via contracts. This allows organisations to meet their objectives by using resources outside the company boundaries, where suitable skills and knowledge often lie. Following successful pre-award and award stages, the contract must be managed well to gain the best results.

A key time in a project’s life is when contract negotiation takes place. Whether negotiating with vendors for goods and services, or perhaps negotiating with a client for a scope of work, getting it wrong at this stage can seriously affect project outcomes and value for each party. All of this involves risk, and use of tried and tested risk management methods can help us to avoid pitfalls, capitalise on opportunity and improve performance in managing the contract.

This course will give you theory, process, techniques, insights, and ideas to help you do this. In addition, we will learn how to deal with common risks and problems that arise, such as poor contractor performance, poor communication, uncontrolled change, conflict, slippage, claims and disputes. Starting with a brief recap of both risk and contracting processes, we move on to how we can combine the two, with a particular focus on the phases of contract negotiation and contract management contract post award. This will help delegates to ensure that the contract delivers the results required, that the relationship between contract parties remains good and that difficulties and adverse events can be overcome.

Delegates should emerge from the course with a high degree of knowledge and a good set of tools and practices to apply in real-life project work. The sessions are full of practical techniques and examples, with the intention of turning knowledge into practical benefit. The worked examples, case studies and exercises given are intended to help you to apply the knowledge you have gained.

Finally, the instructor will include opportunities to discuss the real-world problems and issues and questions that are affecting you in your own projects and working life, so that you can implement improvements and solutions as soon as you return to your desk. Often, helpful advice can be gained from the experience of other delegates, and the course setting provides opportunities for you to do this.

Top Learning Objectives

Understand why risk management means reduced threat and increased opportunity
Identify and analyse risks particular to contract negotiation and management
Apply effective response strategies for these risks
Gain knowledge of key risk management tools and techniques
Understand how human and organisational factors influence risk management
Discover methods for improving contract performance
Deal with common risks including slippage, scope creep, cost growth, poor reporting and more
Understand the pros, cons, and risks of the most common contract types
Learn Key “soft” skills to help you solve problems and get the best out of people

Advanced Maintenance Planning & Scheduling

By John Mikko Barquin

1629 Views

In an ever-increasing competitive industries like Manufacturing, Mining, Power and Utilities and Oil & Gas, the maintenance division is typically required by management to increase asset and equipment uptime with minor breakdowns and lower cost. For this type of situation, the maintenance departments feel the lack of resources. Work orders keeps coming in, but not many get done.

A study from SMRP shows that the average “wrench time” of available maintenance personnel is only 35%. It means that on an average day, an organization’s maintenance force only spends about 3 ½ hours on completing maintenance work. The remaining hours are wasted on gathering parts, travelling, meetings, breaks, and other “non-productive” activities that have nothing to do with working on asset and equipment maintenance.

Without proper planning and scheduling, maintenance is uncoordinated, costly and ineffective, leaving the team to fail in meeting deadlines. These failures will cause constant problems for the Operations department, who will become increasingly reluctant to release equipment in the future. This can directly contribute to higher maintenance cost, inadequate maintenance execution and rapidly deteriorating plant integrity.

Salvo Global’s 3-day course is designed to build advanced competency in maintenance planning and scheduling. The techniques that participants will learn in this course will allow for effective planning and scheduling of maintenance resources. The course covers all the fundamentals and advanced methods and applications that a suitably qualified professional would use in carrying out fully functional plant maintenance. In summary, the course provides a step-by-step practical guide to best practices of maintenance planning and scheduling that will essentially reduce maintenance costs and deliver maximum business benefits.

This training course is based on 35 years of real-life industrial experience of the trainer in maintenance planning and scheduling.

Top Learning Objectives

Protect and enhance values of your plant machinery with the advanced maintenance planning and scheduling best practices principles
Learn the roles and duties of a maintenance planner and scheduler and creation of high-quality work orders
Discover how to effectively integrate reliability centred maintenance with maintenance planning and scheduling for achieving maximum machinery uptime and essential reduction of maintenance costs
Master practical implementation of advanced maintenance planning and scheduling principles, Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning Software
Unlock the potential of your CMMS System and discuss what other software packages are available and asses their benefits
Optimize the management of maintenance backlogs
Utilize the latest condition monitoring technologies
Maximise profits with effective maintenance management and equipment life cycle control
Eliminate risk and downtime caused by maintenance defect and failure with highly effective scheduled maintenance
