TARGET
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
Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards
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
