Decision Making with Confidence training course

Two-day training course to help make well-founded decisions and deal with uncertainties in the decision-making process.

Being in business means taking risks. However, a network operator has responsibility for assets that not only have a very high economic value, but are also vital in relation to the reliability of the power supply. Long-term decisions on a tactical and operational level are very hard to automate. You'll still need people to determine the alternatives and to make an objective decision.

DNV has developed a structured approach for asset management. This general two-day training course addresses subjects from decision theory that can be used in the field of asset management, such as decisions relating to new build, replacement and maintenance investments.


Subjects:

  • Environment: organisation, asset management process, regulatory constraints
  • Technique: alternatives, technical constraints
  • Uncertainty: failure probability, scenarios, assumptions, statistics, reliability and various analysis
  • Economy: net present value, life cycle costing, cost matrix
  • Decision theory: process, problem definition, criteria, functions, preconditions, portfolio management, optimisation

Result:
You will be able to make well-founded, objective and transparent decisions. You will learn how to deal with uncertainties and you will gain the knowledge to manage risks and cut costs.

Target Audience:
Anyone involved in the planning, design and maintenance of power and/or gas networks.

The general course can be supplemented with master modules to provide in-depth knowledge about specific subjects such as statistics, data analysis, sensitivity analysis, decision and risk trees, scenario analysis and process guidance. The course addresses power and/or gas networks, but is also applicable to other networks, such as water and telecom networks. Please contact us for more information.
