APT v 3.6 released

Version 3.6 of the APT toolkit has been launched as part of the on-going commitment by Decisions Support Tools Ltd, to develop the APT software suite of tools as a world-leading asset management software solution.

Further enhancements have been made to the existing wide range of decision-support functions. Optimal work bundling and shutdown studies, for example, can now batch-import individually optimized inspection, maintenance and asset renewal decisions, and even mixed strategy combinations of asset renewals and upgrade projects.

Find out how you identify the optimal time to replace aging assets; how do you decide which spares to hold, in what numbers; and what is the optimal timing or interval for planned maintenance? (more about the APT software)
