Industrial Manufacturing · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
Aluminum occupies an important position in the family of metals with a very wide range of industrial and consumer applications. Second only to iron, aluminum is the world’s most widely used metal. Because of aluminum's many desirable properties, such as lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, modern designers utilize it extensively where energy conservation and product performance are paramount.
Learning Objectives
Identify aluminum alloys suited to specific applications
Describe key processing parameters that influence structure-property relationships
Identify composition and processing interactions that result in final material properties
Solve routine processing and heat-treating issues
Identify cost-reduction opportunities that do not negatively impact material and product performance
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for professionals working in industrial manufacturing, as well as those whose responsibilities require a stronger practical grasp of the subject and its application within their organisation.
Professionals in Metals (Iron, Steel, Aluminium)

What do Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing courses cover?
The portfolio covers lean manufacturing and Six Sigma, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Kaizen and 5S, production planning and scheduling, industrial automation and control, plant operations and operational excellence — taught by practitioners with real plant experience.
Who should attend an industrial or manufacturing course?
These courses suit production and manufacturing engineers, plant and shift supervisors, operations and continuous-improvement managers, industrial and process engineers, maintenance planners, and quality staff working on throughput, waste or downtime reduction.
How long are industrial and manufacturing courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can industrial and manufacturing training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
