APEGGA Events 2 December 2003, Tuesday "Lunchtime Forum" Series 2003-04 CENTRAL ALBERTA BRANCH Lunchtime Forum "ASSET RELIABILITY" One benefit of Asset Reliability is the provision of a comprehensive source of information on all types of assets within your organization. The proper management of these assets allows greater control of the information on which your operation relies. With appropriate solutions, organizations can manage thousands of assets with emphasis on having the right details available at the right time in the right place. With appropriate information available, companies can reduce downtime and frustration. Assets are not limited to equipment, but can also pertain to customers, employees and suppliers. Wade Keller, Nova Chemicals Inc. will describe what "asset reliability " is, and how it can benefit your organization. This presentation will be of particular interest to those involved in asset information management, and generally to those interested in discovering potential techniques for improving their business. Following the presentation, Wade will be available to answer your questions.

Many Responsible Members named on those Permits tell us that they are unsure of their responsibilities. A seminar, where members can discuss these obligations, appears to be the most effective way to clarify the roles. The Government of Alberta has approved an amendment to the Regulations accompanying the Engineering, Geological and Geophysical Professions Act to make attendance at a seminar mandatory for each Responsible Member from every permit holding company at least once very five years. Options to accommodate firms with large numbers of Responsible Members will be discussed at the sessions. APEGGA will be holding these seminars at our conference centres in Edmonton and Calgary regularly starting this fall, and will be scheduling seminars in other centres starting in early 2004.
