Business Executive Forum and Technical Workshop on Prognostics and System Health Management (PHM)
19-20 May 2010, Shenzhen, China
Prognostics and System Health Management (PHM) has become widely adopted by industry in U.S., Europe and Japan during the last few years. Benefits of return on investment and the business economics have been realized significantly by a broad range of industries applying PHM to supply chain management, product design and engineering, technical service and maintenance, manufacturing and business process, customer satisfaction design and management strategy.
Prognostics is the process of predicting the future “effective reliability” of a product by assessing the extent of deviation or degradation of a product from its expected normal operating conditions. Health Management is the process of measuring and recording the extent of deviation and degradation from a normal operating condition. All the leading companies in the world are looking at the implementation of PHM in their products and systems today.
Industry applying PHM are ranging from computer and telecom, consumer electronics, automotives, power and energy, healthcare and medical technologies, financial institutions. Transnational companies which have already been applying PHM such as Dell Computers, HP, Sun Microsystem, Samsung Electric, General Electric, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, Research In Motion, General Motors, Emerson Network Power, Philips Medical System, Honeywell, NASA, NSP Semiconductors, Motorola, Petra Solar, Boeing, EADS Airbus and many more. These companies have already harnessed the benefits of PHM by increasing system availability, reducing warranty costs and cutting product qualification time. Companies from Asia, Europe, and Australia are all increasingly interested in PHM.
The PHM Business Executive Forum will discuss the world wide trend of industrial application of PHM. Professor Pecht and Tsui are internationally well known speakers and pioneers on PHM and Quality Management. The Forum will present the most up to date trend of PHM application in the world and will highlight the status of China which is at the beginning of this PHM awareness. This Forum is most suitable for Managers involve in reliability and failure analysis, engineering and system design, technical service, supply chain management, research and development, business executive, government official.
The PHM Technical Workshop will discuss in details the various PHM methodologies and tools such as data driven PHM, physics of failures and fusion prognostics approaches. This workshop is most suitable to engineers and scientist, R&D staff, technician, research students and academics.
