Decision Analysis for Operation & Maintenance Professionals
Details :
This comprehensive training course examines techniques
for decision analysis with emphasis on prioritization and the decision making
process to be carried out by Operation & Maintenance Professionals.
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.

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

comprehensive & general way to look at the problem in a formal manner
