The Houston Chapter of the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals Presents The 9th Annual Maintenance & Reliability Symposium August 13–14, 2015 Moody Gardens Hotel Galveston, TX Platinum Sponsor: Turner Industries Group Thursday, August 13, 2015 Keynote Speaker—Terry Wireman, noted author and consultant MaRS 2015 is an event for Maintenance, Reliability and Operations personnel in the Gulf Coast area to learn and grow in their profession. • • • • It equips every attendee with productivity enhancing knowledge and professional networking opportunities. The HCSMRP symposium tracks are based on the SMRP Body of Knowledge (BoK) essential to the success of maintenance and reliability professionals. Plus a track for ISO (55000/1/2) that has quickly become the three international standards that are important not only for their content, but because they represent a global consensus on what asset management is and what it can do to increase value generated by all organizations. At MaRS 2015, we believe that asset management will increasingly become the best means of harnessing and integrating all the activities within an organization to achieve its purpose most effectively and economically. And a track devoted to Maintenance & Operations.
