Avoiding Pitfalls with Variance-Waiver Process

In Avoiding Pitfalls with Variance-Waiver Process, you'll learn ...

• What these processes are and how they work
• How Professional Engineers can provide better support in evaluation and review of variance-waiver-exceptions with standards and procedures
• How Professional Engineers in all discipline areas can improve these processes
• The structure to develop and write a policy to control these processes
• Lessons learned on how to avoid issues with the implementation of these processes through review of case studies

As Professional Engineers, we are routinely called upon to manage Variance-Waivers-and Three Wise Men Review of procedures. Engineers often write the procedures, standards, and administrative controls of performing work. It only makes sense that you may be asked to manage and evaluate a change that deviates from these processes.

Having the value of past failures from case studies, a framework, and a guide to properly manage these processes sets you apart from your peers. Have you ever requested a variance-waiver or exception to deviate from a standard, policy, or procedure? If you have, you should take this course.

Knowledge is power. Learning from your mistakes is key. However, why learn from your own mistakes, when learning from the mistakes of others is less painful?

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain what variance-waiver processes are and how they work.
• Evaluate variance-waiver processes.
• Develop policies and procedures for managing variance-waiver processes.
• Describe effective ways to participate in and support variance-waiver processes.
• Apply variance-waiver process skills encountered throughout an engineering career.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
