Course Introduction

Decision making is a daily requirement for Operations, Maintenance, and Safety professionals, and it becomes more challenging when faced with competing priorities and limited resources. This course is designed to help professionals make better, faster, and more confident decisions using proven decision analysis techniques. It focuses on prioritization, risk assessment, and what-if analysis to support effective operational outcomes.

The course highlights the human nature of decision making, including common biases and inconsistencies that can negatively impact outcomes. Participants will learn how to overcome these obstacles by applying structured decision methods and practical tools. Through real-world case studies and hands-on software exercises, delegates will gain the confidence to make consistent and objective decisions in complex operational environments.

Key Highlights:

Learn structured decision-making techniques for operations and maintenance
Apply prioritization methods to optimize asset management and safety decisions
Use what-if analysis to evaluate alternative actions and outcomes
Understand decision biases and how to avoid them in daily operations
Gain practical experience using user-friendly decision support software

Objectives

This training course aims to equip participants with practical decision analysis skills that directly support operational excellence and asset reliability. The course enables delegates to make better decisions using reliable data and structured methods, leading to improved productivity and operational performance.
