Enabling

Learning

Suggested Learning Activities:

Objectives

4.1-4.3,4.5-4.9

Review and discuss the preparation necessary for special tests and

integrated facility operations with the operations manager or an

experienced shift supervisor. Emphasize methods for planning and

implementing complex evolutions including application of problem-solving

and decision-making fundamentals; bring out the primary priorities and

philosophical positions of management.

4.2, 4.7, 4.8, 4.11

Use a case-study approach with emphasis on correct facility conditions

for special tests and the ability of the crew to support interdepartmental

requests that affect operations. Referenced operating experience can

support this activity.
