1st International Conference on Through-life Engineering Services

Event date: 05 November 2012
Event end date: 06 November 2012

Location:

Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, Shrivenham

Overview

Successful high technology UK manufacturing companies are offering a range of interlinked high value products and through-life engineering services. 

High value products are typically technology intensive, expensive and reliability critical requiring cost effective and value led services (such as maintenance, repair and overhaul) throughout the life cycle.

The newly formed EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Throughlife Engineering Services is delighted to announce the first International Conference in this vital area. Throughlife Engineering Services typically now generates 50 - 60% of the revenue in many companies and the opportunities for industry in the future are set to expand and become a major part of those that want to survive in the 21st Century. The service that is needed will involve manufacturers taking more whole life service responsibilities than they have in the past as users seek to find solutions to smooth their in-year costs and reduce overheads.

Who will be there?

The Conference will bring experts and researchers in this area together to exchange ideas and progress in providing solutions to provide world-class capability to enable industry to deliver high value products with outstanding availability, predictability and reliability with the lowest life cycle cost.
