Class Schedules for 2009
Project
Controls Training Program
The
Turnaround Management Company has partnered with Alvin Community
College to provide more convenient delivery of our Project Controls
Training Program that covers Planning, Scheduling, Cost Engineering and
related software tools, such as Primavera™, Track™ and Project Cost
Forecasting™.
The program uses the refining and petrochemical processing industry as
the backdrop for teaching the disciplines of Project Controls as they
relate to turnaround, maintenance and capital projects. The
program will add courses throughout the year. Each course includes
manuals and handout materials. Currently available courses are listed
below.

Basic Project Scheduling Using
Primavera (40 hours), $1995: This course
familiarizes participants with Primavera Project Manager (P6), as it
applies to turnaround methods of planning and scheduling. The class
will construct a turnaround schedule, utilizing data from an actual
turnaround work list. The course simulates an actual
turnaround schedule cycle, from planning and set-up through mechanical
completion. Using the software, each student will engage in hands-on
exercises to reinforce the applications and techniques presented in
this course, including:
•
Create project calendars
•
Develop project layouts
•
Add activities and codes
•
Add reference documents, spreadsheets, photographs to project
or activity
•
Develop logic and constraints
•
Develop production reports
•
Create project level work breakdown structure
•
Create Gantt chart and network logic views
•
Update and progress activities and publish next shift schedule
