Distinguish the parts of production automation projects that must be standardised from those that require judgement.
Leading Production Line Automation and Industrial Robotics Projects
An applied course in production automation projects built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Most recovery effort on production automation projects is spent on problems that were visible early. A schedule for this aspect of project and portfolio delivery without a critical path is a wish list with dates. Organisations that document the project and portfolio delivery discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The level assumes working familiarity with the project but no prior formal training in production automation projects. Participants finish able to explain this part of project and portfolio delivery to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this strand of project and portfolio delivery, not around theory headings. Most organisations already have a policy on production automation projects; far fewer can show it working. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda and supervised application. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of project and portfolio delivery that participants can repeat annually.
