Why is this course unique?
Behind every erroneous procedure, engineering analysis, or work order, there is a review and verification (R&V) error made by the reviewer. Research has shown that typical review effectiveness – the probability of detecting an error – is only 30% to 40%. Moreover, only 30% of engineering projects are considered successful. Through many years of field research, PII has developed reliable methods to avoid the engineering project management errors that have troubled many engineering organizations. The proven techniques taught in this course will help improve the review effectiveness to between 80% and 90%.
I must say that the Error-Free Zone® Training that was taught was the best I have participated in during my 40+ year career.
Benefits of this course:
This course enables the student to become an effective reviewer and verifier. Students will learn proven techniques to find problems, errors, and omissions with a high degree of reliability. Review and verification times will be substantially reduced while simultaneously improving the detection rates of existing problems, errors and omissions.
Topics covered in this course:
- Understand why, when, and how engineers make certain types of errors under certain situations
- Know what error-traps engineers will face before a specific job and before a specific day
- Know and use Error-Free® techniques to avoid falling into the identified error-traps before the engineering job
- Integrate the Error-Free® techniques into the engineer’s daily working practices
- 10 factors affecting engineering errors
- Fundamentals of engineering error rates and project failure rates before the engineering project
- Recognize the engineering error-traps before and during the engineering project
- Mitigate the effects of error traps before and during the project
- Use Error-Free® techniques to avoid falling into engineering error-traps
- Case study
