CONDITION-BASED SYMPOSIUM, JUNE 30 -- JULY 1 1998 ASNE CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE SYMPOSIUM AND EXHIBIT HALL 30 JUNE AND 1 JULY, 1998 The Flagship Section of the American Society of Naval Engineers is proud to invite you to attend the first ASNE sponsored symposium on Condition-Based Maintenance. The symposium will provide a forum for a broad spectrum of Commercial and Military representatives in the marine and aviation communities to exchange new ideas and address existing practices concerning the challenges and potential benefits of condition-based maintenance. A broad range of issues from policy, procedures, and technology will be covered. To ensure that a voice is given to the concerns of the entire industry, we encourage attendance from Owners, Operators, Maintainers, Construction and Repair Facilities, Suppliers, Regulatory Authorities, Designers, Engineers, and Insurers. Our theme for this symposium is "Celebrating Independence from Inefficient Maintenance." This symposium, given its timely, interesting theme, and its location and dates, has it all: an opportunity to share your business with others, to learn, and to have a good time. Planned events include a total of 27 technical paper presentations over the two day period, as well as a panel discussion, exhibit hall and raffle drawing. In addition, a golf tournament will be held on 2 July to support the ASNE Scholarship Program. What exactly is Condition-Based Maintenance? The objective of Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is to reduce costs by doing appropriate maintenance tasks only when there is objective evidence of the need for such maintenance, while at the same time ensuring safety and equipment reliability. In other words, doing the right maintenance and doing maintenance right. Given the opposing constraints of the current mandates to reduce costs, minimize manning, and operate fewer ships, but with the continued absolute requirement for reliability, CBM is a must for the future of both military and commercial equipment and systems.
