ISO 45001 standard has replaced the popular OHSAS 18001 Regulations with the overall purpose remaining the improvement of occupational health and safety performance. ISO 45001 will more easily integrate with other ISO Management Systems standards including ISO 9001:2018 and ISO 14001:2018. ISO 45001 will require an organization to look beyond its immediate health and safety issues and take into account what the wider society expects of it. Organizations will have to think about their contractors and suppliers, as well as the effects their activities have on neighboring communities.
ISO 45001 will give organizations an internationally recognized occupational health and safety standard to follow. This standard provides the specification for formal, systematic analysis and management of risk, management of regulatory compliance, promotion of safer work practices, and evaluation of occupational health and safety performance. This systematic approach facilitates a decrease in the number of incidents and ultimately less disruption to the business.
Six Sigma is one of the world's most popular quality management methodologies, and this Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training course is specifically designed for individuals and organizations who are looking for an in-depth understanding of the widely-recognized Lean Six Sigma methodology. Participants attending this course will gain a comprehensive understanding of disciplined, data-driven approach and process improvement techniques that eliminate defects in any process - from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.
This course is designed to expose participants to in-depth knowledge in managing data center operation which includes the following key subject matters such as; capacity planning, latest green initiatives, how to properly commission and de-commission equipment, compliance to safety standards, statutory compliance, and international standards, managing people.
Although important, customers are not equally crucial. Customers frequently encounter an overwhelming selection of vendors who can meet their wide variety of needs. In contrast, businesses only have a limited amount of resources at their disposal to provide for these clients. The core of key account management is determining the best plan for each client and matching strategy, tactics, and resources accordingly. Delegates will learn a solid, tested, and qualitative method for identifying clients and then creating individualized tactics for each.
Progress in the development of high-performance thermal systems has stimulated interest in methods to improve heat transfer, popularly called “heat transfer augmentation”. It has become second generation heat transfer technology. New techniques are primarily employed in a variety of thermal apparatuses encountered in the process and chemical industries, including oil refineries and gas production plants as well as in power generation plants (thermal, nuclear, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, etc.). This course describes the most important and practical issues related to the optimum selection of various types of augmentation techniques employed for heat exchangers working with single-phase fluids (heaters or coolers) or with phase change fluids (evaporators, reboilers, condensers, etc.) The course will briefly survey the basics of fluid flow and heat transfer in thermal apparatuses and continue with a detailed explanation of the most efficient passive (extended surfaces, fins, swirl flow devices, etc.) and active techniques (surface and fluid vibration, etc.) for single-phase flow as well as for fluids with phase-change (two-phase flows). Performance evaluation criteria (PEC) related to these techniques, as well as technical and economical issues, such as manufacturing costs, problems in operation, maintenance issues, and others, will be covered
The decision to proceed with a project is often based almost exclusively on early conceptual cost estimates, and these estimates provide the basis for the cash flow projections and budget forecasts used during the project feasibility study. Unreliable cost estimates can result in significant cost overruns later in the project life when it is too late to contain them. As potential projects are considered, management not only requires cost estimates of high accuracy, they seek opportunities to reduce life-cycle costs, improve budget accuracy, and optimize whole-life project value. Determining which estimation method to use, at each stage of project development, depends on the information available at the time of preparation and its desired accuracy. Besides, decisions regarding optimizing project costs without sacrificing quality or functionality are highly dependent on the use of a set of systematic and logical procedures and techniques to enhance the whole-life project value. This course will provide the delegates with the necessary skills needed for accurately estimating the total cost of their proposed projects, eliminating unnecessary costs, linking cost estimates to selected procurement methods, and enhancing the overall value of project delivery. The course offers a series of estimating techniques and processes to forecast accurately the anticipated costs of projects with a focus on budget estimates, estimates for pre-construction services, estimating contractor and sub-contractor work, estimating general conditions, pricing self-performed work, estimating negotiated contracts, and performing lump-sum and unit-price estimates. The course also presents the value engineering methodology which emphasizes the return-on-investment aspect of decision-making in terms of lifecycle costs during project planning, procurement, and execution. This methodology can be used to identify alternative ideas/solutions at any project phase to produce the client’s best value requirements. Within the project management context, this course significantly enhances cost estimating, budgeting, creative thinking, problem-solving, and informed decision-making skills.
The level of competition in current business environments requires a focus on practices that assist in the management of personal and workgroup tasks, priorities, and projects. All types of organizations need to find more productive means to offer their products and/or services, so goals are established and tasks assigned to better meet customer and stakeholder needs. A focus on the use of productive practices allows for effective and efficient management of project work, establishing priorities and meeting deadlines, and is an important part of customer service.
