Industrial Manufacturing · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,500
Overview
In an industrial situation where it is required to measure and control some aspects of a process, it is often the application of the knowledge and the ingenuity of the engineer or technician which is relied upon to solve the measurement and control problem.
Learning Objectives
To give an understanding of the principles of operation of a range of sensors and transducers
By using a hands-on approach, enable the delegate to investigate the operation of an instrumentation system through designing, building and testing a typical sensor combined with appropriate signal conditioning circuits
To allow the delegate to become familiar and confident with a range of measurement techniques
To understand the concepts of Process Control and acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of a process variable being measured
To become familiar and knowledgeable with PID control and develop the ability to ‘tune’ a process control system using PID control
To have the confidence and knowledge to apply the above techniques and principles to solve an unfamiliar and bespoke measurement situation in the workplace

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.
