Asset Management 2006 Conference

The @ptitudeXchange Team: Mel, Rob, Gerard, and Patrick 

This year’s Asset Management (AM2006)

conference was held in Baveno, Italy. Hundredsof maintenance professionals from around the

world gathered to examine asset management

and reliability engineering; learning from each

other to best optimize their plant operations. This

interactive conference examined the culture and

process changes needed to achieve immediate,

yet sustainable results, highlighting the latest

concepts, technologies and tools for enhancing

plant reliability and integrating your program

with your plant-wide syst

 

em.

To make it easy for everyone to find information

they are in need of, the AM2006 conference was

divided into a “general discussions” and two

tracks: “asset management” and “reliability

engineering.” In keeping with this framework,

conference content is now available on

@ptitudeXchange in the same three areas.

General Session

Cyber Café (sponsored by @ptitudeXchange)

The general sessions featured speakers are

renowned for their expertise in a relevant area of 

interest for all conference attendees. The general

session program has been designed to help

provide a "big picture" view of what is happening

in business globally as it relates to asset management, both now and into the future.

Asset Management Track

Conference attendees span the range of job functions from production engineer to reliability specialist

to plant manager and more. The topic matter in the track sessions targets the range of issues as they

relate to the variety of participants throughout the plant in the quest for improved plant-wide reliability

and asset efficiency.

Reliability Engineering Track

Manufacturers today are under tremendous pressure to provide the highest possible quality at the

lowest possible cost. Therefore, achieving maximum machine reliability is critical.
