Speaking at the 31st Meeting of Maintenance Managers in Iran's
Petrochemical Industry, held to promote synergy in preserving national assets,
Baghbani stressed the importance of documenting experiences and sharing best
practices in physical asset management and maintenance operations.
"Collaboration and knowledge exchange across all sectors of
Iran’s petrochemical industry must be institutionalized," he said.
"We must focus on preparing the next generation by fostering their technical
and scientific expertise. Documenting the experiences of current professionals
is a vital step in ensuring this transfer of knowledge."
Baghbani highlighted that specialized gatherings like this meeting
play a pivotal role in enhancing expertise and facilitating collaboration.
"Regularly held meetings among maintenance managers provide opportunities
for synergy, experience sharing, and future partnerships," he noted.
He also addressed challenges facing the industry, pointing to a
production loss of nearly 6 million tons due to maintenance and process issues,
in addition to another 15 million tons lost because of feedstock shortages.
"Greater attention to maintenance and repair is necessary to mitigate
these losses," he emphasized.
Baghbani called for in-depth technical analysis of maintenance
practices through specialized working groups, involving close collaboration
with other operational units within petrochemical complexes.
He further urged ongoing support for capable Iranian manufacturers in
the petrochemical sector. "Leveraging domestic expertise and capabilities
remains a strategic priority for NPC, and we are committed to supporting and
collaborating with local talent to advance Iran’s leading petrochemical
industry," he affirmed.
The 31st Meeting of Maintenance Managers in Iran's Petrochemical
Industry, hosted by Kavian and Arvand Petrochemical Companies, brought together
over 60 maintenance managers from various complexes for two days in Tehran.
