Last chance to register for tomorrow's webinar on redefining repair as a failure of Maintenance

For those of you who still want to take advantage of this opportunity, you can still register to the webinar. Here's the reminder and details from Pumps & Systems:

Plant managers and process engineers traditionally assume that pump failures are to be expected and simply a cost of doing business. In fact, only 11 percent of all equipment failures are due to wear—and most failures can be avoided with an appropriate life-cycle-based asset management program.

Tom Dabbs, Reliability Specialist from the ITT Plant Performance Services Group, will explain to attendees:

- How to use improved maintenance to dramatically reduce the need for repairs
- Industry benchmarks for equipment reliability
- Best maintenance practices and asset management strategies that lower life-cycle costs
- Actionable advice to improve pump reliability, lower repair costs and move closer to the goal of zero equipment failures
