- How Equipment Reliability Delivers Profits
Reliability programs are now standard business practice in companies that rely heavily on machines, equipment, and other physical assets. But, in today’s lean economy, companies have fewer resources than ever to manage and maintain these assets. - Financial Benefits Through Pump Optimization
What separates the top performers is a focus on the factors they can control - including maintaining efficient operations and analyzing the total lifecycle costs of their equipment. Pumps typically consume more energy than any other equipment category in continuous process industries. What’s more, according to a recent study by the FiveTwelve Group, the average annual expense for pump system maintenance and operations is approximately 50% greater than for any other rotating machine.
- As we, CFE Media, proudly celebrates our two-year anniversary, we invite you to also celebrate the success stories of these participating innovative companies.
