The 6th Annual Project Production Institute (PPI) Symposium brings together participants from industry and academia to address the gap in current project delivery, challenge industry norms of repeated project failure and recognize opportunities to enable effective project delivery through Project Production Management (PPM).
The Symposium will highlight the latest research in Operations Science, as well as how Internet of Things (IoT), discrete event simulation (DES), artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies that play a part in the next era of project delivery.
Day 1 of the Symposium (03 December) features an introduction to the PPM technical framework, which is required for any participant who has not previously attended a Symposium nor has had prior exposure to PPM. Day 2 (04 December) is comprised of presentations by thought leaders and practitioners, as well as discussions on next practices featuring owners of assets/projects with two separate tracks. Track One will showcase topics including Production System Optimization (PSO) and Digital Applications. Track Two will focus on Computer Aided Production Engineering (CAPE).
For those new to Project Production Management (PPM) as well as advanced practitioners, speakers will present how they are applying PPM to critical capital projects, from the delivery of data centers to massive oil & gas field developments.
Watch for speakers as they are announced in the coming months on our LinkedIn page.
