Scope changes in early feasibility studies cause cost estimators to struggle updating the estimate. Aspentech's Decision Analyzer functionality in Aspen Capital Cost Estimator simplifies this workflow with just a few clicks. Start your 1-day online trial today and take a guided tour to evaluate the economic impact of rescaling plant capacity and modifying the engineering or construction location.

As scheduling has become more sophisticated, maintenance processes have evolved and improved. However, as Michael Saucier, Product Manager at AspenTech discusses, recent studies indicate that most equipment fails on a ‘random’ basis no matter how many assets are inspected. In other words, failures cannot necessarily be correlated to how maintenance was performed.
