An implementation strategy is needed for the progress in three important categories:

• A policy and management framework to realize corrosion savings.
• Technological advances for corrosion savings.
• Implementation of more effective corrosion control.

The goal should be to develop and carry out a national agenda to reduce the economic impact of corrosion. No simple solution or single strategy will accomplish this goal; rather, progress can be made on several fronts, any of which will have significant benefits.

Advances in management and public policy as well as advances in science and technology are required. It is necessary to engage a larger constituency comprised of the primary stakeholders, government and industry leaders, the general public, and consumers. A major challenge involves disseminating corrosion awareness and expertise that is currently scattered throughout government and industry organizations. In fact, there is no focal point for the effective development, articulation, and delivery of corrosion cost savings programs.
