AVEVA has collaborated with The Institute of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), Miri Branch. The IEM is a premier professional organisation in Malaysia. AVEVA, in conjunction with the IEM, will present a Technical Talk Series focusing on the marine and fabrication industries. The first session took place in late November to discuss how Lean methodologies applied in integrated engineering and design processes help businesses and engineering professionals to collaborate more effectively on design changes in order to reduce project risk, cost and timescales. Those engineers that attended the Technical Talk Series were given credits toward their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certification.
‘The IEM’s technical programmes are designed to raise awareness among its members of the latest developments in technology, issues and legislation related to engineering including marine engineering and naval architecture, both on a national and international level,’ said Ir. Dr. Lau Heing Ho, Vice Chairman, IEM Miri Branch. ‘Our aim is to create synergies between industry, academics and end users. AVEVA’s approach that enabling Lean methodologies in the capital engineering industries makes it the perfect partner to help us raise the capabilities of industry professionals and academics’.
‘We are proud to be part of IEM’s mission to advance the engineering profession in Southeast Asia and to meet the demand for a skilled workforce in the marine and fabrication business in Malaysia,’ said Suresh Nadasan, Regional Sales Manager – South East Asia, AVEVA. ‘AVEVA has a long history of sharing our industry leading software and experience with universities, training institutes and professional organisations. This first event with IEM, Miri Branch was great success and we look forward to working with the IEM on future sessions all over Malaysia.’
The AVEVA Academic Initiative benefits educational institutions, their students, employers, and the global engineering community. AVEVA's educational partners range from local vocational training centres to the world’s most prestigious postgraduate universities. Common to all is a dedication to developing engineering skills that can be applied directly in the process plant, power and marine industries. T
