Introduction 

Learn to take control and not let equipment problems risk your production schedule.  Don’t be afraid to schedule shutdowns — it’s a good preventive measure.  There are many benefits of well planned and executed shutdowns;  more proactive maintenance = less reactive or emergency maintenance. Expertly plan your shutdowns, managing and controlling the risks of serious budget overturns and costly schedule delays while maintaining the quality of the work being performed.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
