Scott will be covering why most projects are still designed around capital expenditure (CAPEX) rather than long-term performance, and how this mindset can create avoidable costs and operational challenges over time. He will explore what it really means to design with maintainability in mind, including considerations such as access, availability of spare parts, and the role of remote diagnostics in improving reliability. Scott will also highlight the true cost of poor design decisions across the lifecycle of fleet assets, and outline what fleet operators should be demanding in their specifications and contracts.
