colorDownload A PDF Brochure

In this web conference BIS Consulting and UMS Group will present concepts and tools used to provide cost-effective improvements in reliability, both at the system and equipment/component level. In so doing, we will examine:

  • Value-risk trade-offs for capital expenditures, resulting in a business case, tailored to a regulator, to support investments in reliability improvement.
  • Approaches to ensure that capital investments provide incremental improvement in overall system reliability.
  • Methodologies to establish optimum replacement points for individual equipment or components based on condition, consequences, and probability of failure, and projected replacement or refurbishment costs.
  • Methods to compare the cost effectiveness of competing improvement projects to ensure that resources are directed to the highest-return activities.

Specific topics will include ideas for system reliability performance improvement, risk assessment and building a business case, and capital expenditure optimization. By participating in the web conference, you will be armed with industry-proven approaches to improve both system and equipment/component reliability; and be able to do so with the least exposure in terms of system and equipment/component failure.
