Introduction

This course examines techniques for decision analysis with emphasis on prioritization and the decision making process to be carried out by Operation & Maintenance Professionals. This course will focus on decision analysis in the sewage system.

Decision-making is the most central human activity, intrinsic in our biology and done both consciously and unconsciously. We need it to survive. Taking a decision is not just a question of selecting the best alternative. Often one needs to prioritise all the alternatives for resource allocation among a portfolio of option, or to examine the effect of changes introduced to initial judgments. We need to set priorities on these solutions according to their effectiveness by considering their benefits, costs, risks, and opportunities, and the resources they need.

This course will feature:

Þ Breaking a problem in the sewage system down into its constituent parts or components, in the framework of a hierarchy

Þ Establishing importance or priority in the sewage system to rank the alternatives is a comprehensive & general way to look at the problem in a formal manner

Þ Application of multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) to practical problems in the sewage system

Þ Introduction to different operational research & management science methods

Þ Enhance decision-making with goals and criteria & show how to measure and rank them

 

Objectives 

Participants attending the training seminar will:

Þ Improve productivity in sewage system through use of better, timelier information

Þ Understand how world-class organizations solve common asset management problems

Þ Optimize planning and scheduling resources, carry out optimised failure analyses

Þ Optimise asset management budgets by avoidance of unplanned equipment

failures in service

Þ Develop a practical approach of an action plan to utilize these technologies in their own areas of responsibility
