Strategy 1

Industrial cost-effective

engineering measures to

build and operate reliable

and safe facilities

Plans to increase company engineers participation in

international standards working committees:

Continuous awareness of international standards changes

Incorporate our own special requirements

12 engineers are voting members in industry standards

working committees

Base engineering courses on standards to promote internal

awareness 75%

Invite suppliers, engineering firms, operating facilities in

Value Engineering sessions to promote external awareness

10 VE sessions completed

Improve wrong perceptions and promote understanding
