Much of the day-to-day work involves established methods, protocols and design codes, built on years of experience of what is most effective and safe. However, even within the constraints of these established procedures there is scope to adopt a creative approach to solving problems, and great potential benefit in doing so.This course brings the concept of creative thinking directly to the chemical engineer, aiming to equip delegates with sufficient background and techniques to improve their creative thinking in their professional lives. After an introduction to creativity in the context of chemical engineering, the course will provide an overview of the entire process of creative problem solving, addressing problem definition, and the identification and removal of blocks to creative thought. The main creative problem solving tools relevant to the discipline will be introduced including Synectics, CPS, TRIZ, and the work of de Bono. The course will complete the picture by covering the selection, implementation and evaluation of solutions.ObjectivesAt the end of the course, delegates will:¦¦ understand the role of creative thinking within the context of chemical engineering¦¦ appreciate the importance of environment and team dynamics in creative problem solving ¦¦ be able to apply criteria to help define the real problem ¦¦ be able to recognise mental blocks and initiate their removal by ‘blockbusting’ techniques ¦¦ appreciate a range of creative processes for identifying solutions to the real problem ¦¦ be introduced to the Kepner-Tregoe (KT) approach for selecting an appropriate solution¦¦ understand the process of implementing a solution effectively¦¦ be able to evaluate a solution against the criteria of effectiveness, safety and ethicsWho will benefit¦¦ junior engineers who want to gain the skills and experience required for chartered status¦¦ senior engineers who want to release the creative potential of their extensive engineering experienceCourse directorDr Jamie Cleaver, PhD, CEng, FIChemEDates Location5 June 2013 Rugby, UKFeesIChemE member – £400.00 + VATNon-member – £450.00 + VATContactCourses department, IChemE, UKTel: +44 (0)1788 578214, Fax: +44 (0)1788 560833Email: courses@icheme.orgwww.icheme.org/creativityCourses 15 www.icheme.org/coursesDesign and Operation of FPSOsThis course has been designed to provide a comprehensive study into the subject of modern floating, production, storage and off-loading facilities (FPSOs).

Major accidents, including those at Texas City and Buncefield have once again highlighted the importance of addressing this aspect of performance. However, many of the safety and operational professionals charged with managing human factors have no formal qualifications or training in the behavioral sciences. To help address this gap, The Keil Centre and IChemE have organised this 1-year development programme.ObjectivesThe programme builds upon the needs identified in the process industries, namely: ¦¦ content covering human factors in process safety, health and safety generally, with links to other aspects of business performance¦¦ a modular course design, with short residential events spread over time, also providing networking opportunities with likeminded professionals¦¦ consultancy skills development to help implement human factors solutionsThe modules¦¦ Module 1 – An Introduction to Human Factors ¦¦ Module 2 – Human Reliability and Failure ¦¦ Module 3 – Organisational Issues ¦¦ Module 4 – Human Factors and Design Who will benefit¦¦ internal human factors advisors/focal points¦¦ operations managers¦¦ HSE advisors and specialists¦¦ industry regulatorswho want a thorough grounding in the subject matter, access to practical research-based tools and approaches, and discussion in small groups with acknowledged industry experts.Courses www.icheme.org/courses 28IChemE Forms of ContractIChemE’s Forms of Contract are drafted as performance-based contracts for the design and construction of process plants and other output-based projects.

This course covers basic and more advanced methodology of LOPA and the detailed stages of its application. Participants are shown how significant scenarios are categorised and tolerable frequencies assigned for identified hazardous events. They are shown how to assign risk categories and hence determine the number of independent protection layers (IPLs) that should be in place. The specification and requirements for a protection layer to be accepted as an IPL are discussed. All the essential steps in this method are practiced in workshops, including the use of software tools in LOPA.Key topics¦¦ the basic methodology of LOPA¦¦ how to decide if a process needs a safety instrumented system (SIS)¦¦ if yes, what safety integrity level (SIL) do they need?¦¦ how to define an independent protection layer (IPL)¦¦ how to implement a process to manage these systems through the life cycle of an installation¦¦ toolbox demonstration and workshops based on simple but realistic examplesWho will benefit¦¦ production engineers¦¦ process design engineers¦¦ project engineers¦¦ process programmers and instrument control designersCourse director UKRichard Gowland, technical director, European Process Safety Centre (EPSC)Course director Australia Paul Feltoe, Safety Solutions LtdDates Locations9–10 April 2013 New Plymouth, NZ 21–22 May 2013 Manchester, UK 11–12 June 2013 Perth, Australia 18–19 September 2013 Manchester, UKCourses www.icheme.org/courses 30Managing Deterioration of Plant Equipment This course provides guidance on how to achieve safe and reliable operation of process equipment by design and beyond its design life. An effective plant integrity system delivers benefits for safety, reliability and operational performance whilst optimising maintenance and inspection costs.

Unfortunately for many new managers – and their employers – the training they receive does not recognise the fundamental changes they need to make. With guidance however, most new managers can quickly understand and start to put into practice the necessary skills and behaviours. This interactive course is tailored specifically for chemical engineers moving from a hands-on, technical role to their first management position. It addresses the skills shift required when making the transition to team leader and focuses on the skills and behaviours needed to lead a team effectively.Key topics¦¦ the key shifts in behaviour and attitude that are essential in order to be a successful manager¦¦ specific skill areas: time management, effective communication, delegation, motivation, providing effective feedback, developing people¦¦ action planning – a clear individual action plan to link the course learning back to their workplaceWho will benefit¦¦ anyone currently in a first level management position¦¦ staff who lead teams but might not yet have a formal management position¦¦ staff who will shortly be promoted into a management positionCourse directorFiona Carter, CEng, MIChemE, consultant Dates 17–18 October 2013Location London, UKFees IChemE member – £900.00 + VATNon-member – £950.00 + VAT ContactCourses department, IChemE, UKTel: +44 (0)1788 578214, Fax: +44 (0)1788 560833Email: courses@icheme.orgwww.icheme.org/ntmCourses 31 www.icheme.org/coursesPractical Aspects of Process Control and InstrumentationThis course gives a practical introduction to the principles of measurement and control of process plant.
