Craig Small to Speak at 2017 AFPM Reliability & Maintenance Conference

You can find AP-Networks at the 2017 AFPM Reliability & Maintenance Conference & Exhibition at Booth 246.

With increasingly large expenditures and capital installation opportunities, industry leaders are continually seeking methods to execute turnarounds that are predictable and competitive. For leading operators, the objectives of “the game” have completely changed from maintenance turnarounds as a must-do liability to turnaround events as a competitive business opportunity. Along this competitiveness journey, the industry has realized that while many variables need to be managed, one ingredient is absolutely essential: setting the right work scope. During the 2017 AFPM Reliability & Maintenance Conference & Exhibition, Craig Small will tackle this subject head-on.

Craig will deliver his presentation, “Turnaround Competitiveness: Scope – The Essential Ingredient,” at 8:30am on Thursday, May 25^th as part of the conference’s Turnaround track. He will outline proven practices that enable a strategically defined, optimum work scope and show how it is the foundation on which competitive turnarounds must be constructed. Using industry intelligence and turnaround performance data, Craig will reveal critical strategies and behaviors for selecting and maintaining an optimum work scope, along with proven technologies and tools.

He leverages a background of more than 19 years in turnarounds, maintenance, and reliability to provide expert guidance to both upstream and downstream companies. Craig has worked in a diverse array of industries that includes chemicals, plastics, acetates, pharmaceuticals, emulsions, and utilities.
