INTRODUCTION
Shutdowns and turnarounds (STOs) are critical events in the lifecycle of industrial plants and facilities. Effectively managing these activities is crucial for minimizing downtime, maximizing efficiency, and ensuring the safety and integrity of the equipment. This course, “Managing Efficient Shutdowns and Turnarounds,” is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to plan, execute, and optimize shutdowns and turnarounds in a systematic and efficient manner.
