Introduction
This Commissioning & Start-Up with API RP 1FSC Foundation Training course will show you how to be successful in the defining phase of a project. Did you know that from the perspective of an investor, it is the Commissioning & Start-Up (CSU) phase that defines the project as a success or failure? When a project has been fully commissioned and started-up, it is likely the project will also be a financial success, with investors receiving their expected returns. When a project has not been fully commissioned and started-up, it is highly unlikely the project could ever be a financial success. From an investor’s perspective, the project is a disaster.
Why don’t more people with many years of project experience already know this?
