Resource Training Institute training

The primary objective of this course is to provide the most relevant and up-to-date information concerning the decontamination, dismantlement, deactivation and decommissioning (D4) of DOE Facilities. The course evaluates these activities as a system in terms of impacts on the facility, protection of the workers and public, managing the resultant waste and applying the integrated safety management system into the process. The course also includes class exercises to enhance the students understanding of the subject.

To improve productivity and efficiency organizations have used industrial engineers to create standards for success. These standards are used to measure, track, make necessary changes or corrections, and to transfer successes from one location to another. The use of teams in organizations is widespread, yet few organizations have applied industrial engineering techniques to teams to ensure that teams provide the desired return on their investment in teams. This course is aimed at educating teams to understand and establish the necessary standards to improve the productivity and efficiency of teams. Just as individuals have job descriptions and performance standards, so should teams. If organizations utilize teams, then they should put the effort, energy, time, and training required to establish team standards. Teams should be, and can be, engineered to be successful.
