Introduction
Benchmarking studies on oil refineries worldwide have shown that rotating equipment accounts for more than 20% of all maintenance and inspection costs. Furthermore, as rotating equipment is often situated at critical nodes of industrial processes, their failure can lead to significant production downtime and associated costs.
This rotating equipment optimization and continuous reliability improvement CRI program aim to deliver deep insight into optimizing rotating mechanical equipment using predictive and preventive maintenance strategies. Attendees will learn how to incorporate continuous improvement processes to enhance equipment's reliability and efficiency, ensuring a smooth and cost-effective operational workflow.
The Continuous Reliability Improvement (CRI) process is a crucial facet of equipment optimization within the industrial sector. This rotating equipment optimization and continuous reliability improvement conference will dive into the methodology behind continuous improvement in the workplace, empowering personnel to enhance operational reliability through strategic monitoring and adjustments.
