PC-PS201: Maximizing Your Simulation Investment: A Guide to Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Course Title: Maximizing Your Simulation Investment: A Guide to Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Professional Development Hours (PDH): 1.0
Delivery Format: Live Virtual (via Microsoft Teams)
Level: Beginner
Duration: 1 hour
Cost: $99 per person
Course Overview
What's the best way to translate your plant's needs into a clear project scope that avoids costly rework and integration headaches?
As a system owner, requesting a new or expanding your current simulated system is an investment in your plant's future. However, these projects are often complex and filled with potential pitfalls, from the initial quote to long-term expansion.
This course is designed to empower you with the foundational knowledge needed to successfully manage this process. We will explore key considerations that impact project scope, budget, and timeline, such as ambiguous requirements, scalability issues, and integration challenges. By the end, you will be able to identify potential risks and develop a more robust strategy for requesting, building, and expanding your simulated systems with greater confidence.
The course can extend an extra half hour or so, depending on questions and interaction with the attendees.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Identify the critical information to provide the project team to ensure an accurate quote and scope.
Understand how decisions about modeling fidelity, integration, and functionality introduce complexities and cost during the development phase.
Anticipate future expansion needs and understand how initial design choices impact scalability and cost.
Provide clear, complete, and well-defined requirements to the project team to mitigate risks and receive more accurate project quotes.
Appreciate the value of a clear scope and consistent communication to prevent project delays and budget overruns.
