	When it comes to gaskets, looks aren't everything Replacing a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) gasket requires slightly more technical expertise than re-sealing a double-glazed window or a car windscreen. With gaskets, you get what you pay for. Pay less and the chances are that you will end up with a less than premium re-gasketting job.

	Viewing Assets from an ROI perspective While most of us have been taking more notice of our energy bills over the past year, Grahame Done has been doing it for years. As Infor?s EMEA Director for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and with 15 years experience in Asset Management, he?s been helping engineering and manufacturing companies take more notice of theirs. More importantly, he?s been helping them to reduce their energy consumption as part of an integrated Asset Management strategy making use of the latest EAM software solutions. His starting point is that you can?t save what you don?t measure and his industry experience suggests that savings of 20% on utilities are typical when companies practice continuous monitoring and auditing. With energy costs soaring, he?s clearly a man worth listening to.

	First Steps in Moving from Fire-Fighting to a More Planned Environment Maintenance departments have historically embraced a ?fire-fighting? or reactive management style. In some facilities, Operations was to blame for their reluctance to give up equipment capacity in order to keep product moving out the door. Furthermore, Marketing made constant changes to schedules as a knee-jerk reaction to fluctuating customer demand, resulting in delays to delivery schedules and production inefficiencies. This cycle fuelled a fire-fighting mentality on the shop floor.
