Productivity push for process, construction & maintenance sector
Singapore
THE process, construction and maintenance (PCM) sector - key to the support of the energy and chemicals sector in Singapore - is set to receive a boost with a productivity council being set up.
The council - which includes plant owners, contractors and the Association for Process Industry (ASPRI) - will look to improve management practices, and put in place certification systems to encourage companies to adopt productivity and safety measures.
