T100 – Turnaround/Shutdown/Outage Maintenance Management Module
-
OVERVIEW
Primavera is a powerful tool for scheduling maintenance work for Turnarounds, Shutdowns, or Outages. However, standard training courses are optimized for the AEC industry and it can be a challenge to extrapolate this training to Turnarounds/Shutdowns/Outages This course will extend on the basic Primavera training courses (102 & 106) to teach you how to extract the most value from Primavera for managing Turnarounds and Shutdowns.
This course provides hands-on training to allow one to take best advantage of Primavera, providing practical tips, tricks, useful add-ons and real world examples.
We show processes to use Primavera to its maximum capacity that have been proven over many Turnarounds with numerous clients. Our trainers have worked the Turnarounds, know what works and what doesn’t and will give real life examples. In many cases, we are applying out of the box approaches to Primavera to make it perform to its highest ability, and this course can help you do the same.

I have completed several of the courses that Emerald Associates Inc. offers and found them to be very helpful. The instructors were very engaging and addressed a variety of issues and questions that I, or my peers, had. The instructors were very knowledgeable and used examples of projects that they previously worked on in order to help with understanding the programs. The pacing of the courses was excellent and I felt that the knowledge that I gained through the Emerald courses has really helped with the planning that I am now involved with.
