About the Program

This seminar provides a comprehensive introductory overview of project management that focuses on development and delivery of project in an iron and steel mill environment.

Project management fundamentals that will be covered include project setup and stakeholder engagement; scope development and control; engineering practices and tools; and project controls including estimating, scheduling and cost, project safety practices, risk management, construction methods, quality management, change management and commissioning and start-up. A focus will be put on outage-based projects including planning to mitigate risks and result in a vertical start-up. The curriculum will follow best practices for project management, but with a focus on aspects that are critical to success in a heavy industrial environment. The course will be taught by a variety of personnel from owners, engineering and project management firms, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and construction contractors.

Attendees will leave this course with a better understanding of the project fundamentals, allowing them to better manage all aspects of projects including major mill and furnace shutdowns.
