Technical notes

Regardless of their size and the industries in which they operate, companies have ti rely on the performance of their capital equipment. This performance is measured in various ways, growth in sales revenue and returns and customer satisfaction. Multinational corporations in the chemical industry and in the oil/gas industry make significant investments in machinery and equipment. An equally important aspect is ensuring that production processes can run smoothly - from oil extraction and refining operations to marketing specialized products to costumers.
