Managing the Small Project - 8 hours
This course is intended for owner and contractor personnel who are involved in the construction of small projects, with special emphasis on revamp projects at industrial facilities. The material describes the challenges of 'small' projects as compared to 'large' projects, providing principles and specific ideas for effectively managing small projects.
Planning for Startup - 8 hours
The Planning for Start-up Model is presented in this course in the form of a 45-activity flow chart organized in eight typical project phases. These planning activities are fully described, as are the 26 supportive tools. This course also includes demonstration project case studies and workshop exercises that reinforce the message of the planning model.
Project Delivery and Contract Strategies - 4 hours
This module focuses on Project Delivery and Contract Strategy (PDCS) selection. A PDCS defines the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved in a project, then establishes the project execution framework. The PDCS-selection tool helps owners determine the PDCS most appropriate for their capital projects by considering relevant alternatives, identifying project objectives early in project development, and systematically considering all key decision variables. This tool assists owner-contractor teams seeking effective project execution strategies.
International Project Risk Assessment (IPRA) - 4 hours
Identifies and describes the complex issues that are critical elements related to an international capital project, allowing the project team to focus on risk factors of potential concern. The IPRA is designed to facilitate risk assessment and to help address management of these concerns.
Construction Safety: Zero Accidents - 8 hours
This course describes the influence of general contractors on the safety performance of subcontractors and on large projects. Five specific areas of safety are covered: the indirect cost of injuries; the direct cost of worker injuries; worker injury causes; the role of general contractors in subcontractor safety; and zero injury techniques.
Materials Management - 4 hours
Materials management systems produce cost saving benefits, such as improved labor productivity, reduced surplus, and improved cash flow. This course focuses on materials management systems that effectively integrate take-off, vendor evaluation, purchasing, expediting, field control, and warehouse systems. Workshops focus on materials management problem solving and emphasize peer interaction.
