Siveco to speak on “Optimizing operations in tough economic times” at the 10th Annual Process Industry Engineering & Maintenance Congress in Shanghai on September 10-11

Siveco China will once again participate in the highly acclaimed Process Industry Engineering & Maintenance Congress and its 10^th anniversary celebration, held in Shanghai on September 10-11. Bruno Lhopiteau, General Manager of Siveco China, has been invited to give a speech on "Optimizing operations in tough economic times" based on his long experience of the Chinese market. Bruno will also act as Chairman for the joint Engineering & Maintenance session of the second day.

In a context of economic slowdown, decreasing investment, rising costs, increasing regulatory oversight… more companies will recognize maintenance as a possible source of savings and profits. Spectacularly under-optimized and under-leveraged in China, industrial maintenance presents fantastic opportunities and challenges. Bruno Lhopiteau, a 15 years veteran of the "maintenance with Chinese characteristics", will draw lessons from his long experience working with alongside plant owners, both state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and multinationals (MNCs). The talk will cover:

- When to start a project?
- How to estimate possible ROI?
- Risk prevention vs. direct cost savings
- How to get a project approved by top management?
- Maintenance and Green, Lean and HSE initiatives
- Controlling ROI during project implementation
- The role of IT solutions in China: Do's and Don'ts
- What SOEs and MNCs can learn from each other?

The presentation will be entirely based on real-life case studies in the Chinese process industry.

This year, Siveco will also hold a booth in cooperation with two partners: Bartec (explosion-proof mobile hardware) and Vantechinst (condition monitoring), showcasing bluebee^®, the revolutionary mobile solution "for the worker of tomorrow".
