Shrinking Resources, Mounting Challenges http://mti.memberclicks.net
“I have a perception and a view that probably 80% of our problems have answers already. It doesn’t make a lot of sense for us to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars initiating project work in these areas when there are 50, 60, 100 other companies that have similar sorts of equipment and have similar sorts of issues.” STEFANO CHIOVELLI, Syncrude Canada http://mti.memberclicks.net
