Asset Management 2006 Conference
The @ptitudeXchange Team: Mel, Rob, Gerard, and Patrick
This years Asset Management (AM2006)
conference was held in Baveno, Italy. Hundreds
of 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 Caf (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.
