Course Objective:

Upon completion of this course, attendees will:
o      Gain a basic understanding of the main components and subsystems of audit procedures.
o      Learn to critique the advantages, applications, performance, and economics of different plant features and alternative features that audits may indicate need to be retrofitted.
o      Learn about the influence of various auxiliary systems including instrumentation and controls, process accessories, the process itself, and how this can contribute to an effective audit.
o       Learn some basics about the role of operations personnel and training and how they can help maximize audit effectiveness.
o      Discover the basics required in minimizing operating cost and optimizing efficiency, reliability, and component longevity.
o      Learn about the overall legislative limits the plant must operate within (including monitoring and control of environmental emissions) and any changes in same.
o      Gain insights into predictive and preventive maintenance, reliability and testing, and what that does for audit planning.
o      Discover some of the latest technology in all of the above.
o      Identify methods for self-improvement.

Who Should Attend:

This course is for all engineers, technologists, and other operational personnel who currently or may in the future be involved with the technology or business of running a process plant, a refinery, a power plant, and/or an oil and gas facility.

Course Outline:
1.Introduction to Audits
o       What are audits?
o      How much time do they require?

2.Aims of an Audit
o      What are the various aims/events that prompt audits?
o      How do these initiating factors affect time spent on an audit and its aims and objectives?

3.Audit Planning
o      How does audit planning evolve?
o      What operational constraints decide how planning must proceed?

4.General Audit Procedures
o      How is information gathered?
o      How does this information promote improvements to maintenance and operations?
•      How might SOPs and SMPs procedures/inspections be altered/affected?
