In today's global competitive economy, all industrial sectors are emphasizing effective utilization of resources. Maintenance management has seen radical changes since last three decades all across the globe. The main aim of achieving higher reliability, availability and overall productivity of any organization is to successfully manage their assets at optimum cost. Reliability, Availability & Maintainability have become key parameters for a plant engineer to ensure production at optimum cost. As all organizations are placed at a cut- throat situation in delivering quality products continually in minimum time, the Machinery Health Management assumes important role in plant management philosophy. Some established studies has revealed that the global maintenance cost is about 9% of GDP (about US $ 2700 billion) which is definitely at higher side. This figure may be even higher in Indian Industries. In view of this assessment, effective machinery health management should be a focused area which would reduce the machine breakdown drastically.

Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, (FICCI) had addressed this issue through a national seminar on "MACHINERY HEALTH MANAGEMENT", during May 2007 at New Delhi which was a grand success. Against the above back drop and overwhelming response from various sectors, FICCI is once again committed to address the issue in organizing the second edition of "MACHINERY HEALTH MANAGEMENT" during May 8-9, 2008 at Federation House, New Delhi.

The target group may comprise of senior and middle level executives /practicing engineers from production department , Engineering, Operation and maintenance , technical services , projects and quality departments from the sectors like Oil refineries, fertilizers, cement, petrochemicals, energy, pipelines transportation, distribution companies, transmission companies, Thermal power stations etc. The detail of the program is attached herewith.
