Overview

PREVENTING THE DETERIORATION OF ASSETS AND MAINTAINING A HIGH LEVEL OF RELIABILITY.

Join us at Reliability and Asset Management 2016 to address the technical engineering challenges in managing products, systems and spares across industries.

The main challenge facing reliability engineers continues to be the deterioration of products through usage and degradation, idleness, treatment and maintenance, as well as human factors such as loss of knowledge and skills.

Our expert speaker panel of thought leaders will outline new methods and processes to identify potential issues before they incur high rectification and compensation costs.

WHY ATTEND:

• Hear case studies from a diverse range of speakers including the transport and power industries
• Learn new methods and processes in reliability management including root cause analysis and different aspects of life cycle engineering
• Engage in specialised interactive round table discussions on human factors, storage, software and obsolescence and compatibility
• Attend the only event to address key principles behind management and reliability of assets in the engineering community
