Why is This Course Essential?
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%.
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.
