DSM—not total cost, but total value of ownership

摘要

The Netherlands-based WIB—a.k.a. the international instrument users association held a 'mini-seminar' in The Hague last month to debate getting the best of obsolescence in plant instrumentation and equipment. WIB members include ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Total Wintershall, DSM, Saudi Aramco and many others. Frank Pijnenburg explained how DSM evaluated obsolescence risk as the product of the likelihood of equipment failure and the impact of such an event.
