Whether its maintenance and operations, staff and management, or contractors and planners, we all need to work together to get the problems solved. And in some cases it takes extra effort to find the solution, such as meetings, brainstorming sessions, reading forums, or bringing in outside help.
Well, if you got the time, read and comment on our articles so we know their helping and not just taking up page space. And if you’re really interested, e-MCi would love to have you as a contributor and author of your own stories about industry. Topics include legislation changes, product recalls, tips and tricks, new innovations and much more.
One word of caution for contributors – your stories and articles are in the public world and you should refrain from any possible conflict of interest with your company such giving away process secrets, or spreading gossip. So if you keep it nuts and bolts based on your field expertise there should be no problems, might even be good for your career to showcase your true knowledge level.
