DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) conducted a workshop the OpEX MENA 2015 – Operational Excellence in Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals held at the Anantara Eastern Mangroves Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The workshop, entitled ‘Extracting Maximum Value from Assets and Operations: An Industry Imperative’, discussed how companies can leverage operational excellence and best-in-class integrity to drive profitability within a dynamic and ever-evolving sector.
Franco Polli, solutions architect at DSS Middle East, and Marc Hoppenbrouwers, solution architect at DSS Netherlands, led three sessions on operational excellence, asset management best practices, and challenges of asset management.
Polli said: “With our interactive session, we advised companies on how to transform and optimise their processes, technologies and capabilities to improve their productivity, safety, and profitability. In the current landscape of significant declines in oil prices, there is a need to adopt an integrated approach to maintenance and reliability where capable human resource contributes to a robust culture as a strong technical model is not enough to ensure positive results. The integrated model and a strong direct support in the execution of it is what differentiates DSS from its competitors.”
