Back to Basics 2.0 Workshop
14th March | 09:30 AM Onwards | New Exhibition Hall, CTC, Chennai
When fundamentals slip, companies pay twice—first in costly mistakes (mis-sized instruments, noisy signals, failed interlocks) and then in delays (slow commissioning, repeat FAT/SAT, extended downtime). Back to Basics 2.0 fixes that with a vendor-neutral, hands-on curriculum taught by leaders who are currently implementing in Indian factories. You’ll work through real fault scenarios (drive trips, network noise, bad P&IDs, alarm floods), apply checklists and SOPs used on actual sites, and leave ready to deliver first-time-right execution, faster MTTR, safer starts, and audit-ready data. It’s the shortest path from “I think I know” to “I can do this on a live line”—and the quickest way to protect capex, hit timelines, and raise OEE without disruption.
