Your benets of attending this 3-day highly interactive PMI certied course:
Engineering projects remain some of the most complex projects undertaken at any point in time. The vast majorities of projects span years and frequently go through a myriad of issues ranging from cost over - runs to shortages in materials or manpower. As organisations try to limit their risks and exposures in a new economy, it puts immense pressure on project managers to deliver their projects within time and budgets. Achieving built-in value in the most cost efcient way is key to the project manager. Good time management leads to efciency in functionality, especially in turbulent times. Cost efcient projects, consistent with required performance, reliability and quality can be simplied by incorporating Value Engineering at the early design stage of a project. This course will equip you with the most essential tools and techniques to effectively apply Value Improvement Practices (VIPs) such as process simplication and technology selection to ensure successful project completion. This comprehensive, highly practical course will over 3 days delve into the more practical aspects of engineering project management. As a highly interactive PMI certied course, it will impart real time, practical knowledge to all delegates. As South Africa is going through a slew of infrastructure capacity raising projects, it would be the right time for project managers to be at the course and update themselves on the latest tools and techniques.
