Every doctor will tell you that one of the most important things you can have is your health. This statement equally applies to the health of the assets in your plant. The simple fact is that if the assets are healthy then production can without fail meet the demands of the marketplace. On the other hand poor asset health will provide an outcome far less desirable.
The Asset Health Management survey conducted by Reliabilityweb.com is a report based in input to twenty-seven (27) questions by three hundred and sixty-six (366) individuals. This webinar will present the key points of this survey and will provide you with significant insight into asset health management issues that need to be considered to increase and sustain the health of your plant assets.
