They are also concerned with revenue, safety, compliance, quality,  and operating cost problems that arise when performance in operating plants is  not optimized.
         

        ARC’s Asset Lifecycle Management Forum is a must-attend  event that provides the following opportunities:

        • Learn about the “hidden ways” that AIM impacts Asset  Performance
        • Gain the knowledge to identify significant “hidden costs” in your AIM  program
        • Discover what leading companies are doing to overcome cultural,  contractual, and infrastructure  roadblocks that frustrate collaborative programs
        • Understand what technology suppliers are doing to enable you to improve  AIM
        • See what industry and standards groups are doing to enable better  information interoperability
        • Share challenges, ideas, and strategies with peers
