4 Steps to Success for Maintenance Supervisors

A Webinar presentation by Ricky Smith, CMRP at GPAllied

Maintenance Supervisors are the people who make the largest impact on reliability in most organizations and thus I created this One Hour WebEx to provide ideas which will allow them to far exceed management's expectations.

Ricky will be using his past experience as a maintenance supervisor and "lessons learned" while working with hundreds of maintenance supervisors for the past 15 years to transfer his knowledge to these great maintenance leaders. Ricky sincerely wants to see maintenance supervisor become the best they can be. Maintenance Supervisors have the most difficult job in any organization and yet they can achieve a higher degree of satisfaction with their job by using a few simple tips.

5 Myths Of Inventory Reduction

By Phill Slater

Explains the myths that limit companies from achieving their best in materials and spares inventory management.

5 Whys Root Cause Analysis Problem Solving Tool

The 5 Whys is one of the simplest problem solving tools used in Lean manufacturing and Lean offices. This presentation shows how to use the 5 Whys, and what to watch out for. Created and presented by Jeff Hajek of Velaction Continuous Improvement.

A new way to extend the life of your assets

Did you know that you can factor energy use with asset management to maintain and extend the life of equipment and therefore lower your costs?  It is well known that there is a direct connection between the reliability of assets and their consumption of energy; in fact, energy use is a leading indicator of predictive performance of an asset.

Join Johnny Bofilios, Director Global Asset Sustainability at Infor for a 41 minute webinar to find out the strategies to start monitoring and reducing your plant's energy consumption...and extend your assets life.

Participate to:
1) Find out the strategies to start managing and reducing your plant's energy
2) Learn how a high profile paper manufacturer has already extended the life of their assets with energy tracking
3) Discover how to go from addressing 25% of the total cost to own and operate your assets... to up to 80%

Accurately Calculating Torque

A recorded 10 minute iPresentation by Amy Frey of Baker/SKF

The torque signal can provide a higher degree of pertinent information to the maintenance operator than the current signal. However, in order to understand this concept torque must be accurately calculated. This iPresentation provides information on how to accurately calculate torque.

Applying PAS-55 Principles – Water Wastewater Case Study

The British Standards Institute's Publicly Available Specification 55 (PAS-55) provides organizations with a framework for establishing good practices in asset management.

A significant portion of the specification covers the mitigation of risk as well as maintenance and reliability strategies. APG will walk attendees through the application of fundamental reliability principles at an actual water wastewater organization in an application aligned with PAS-55 requirements.

Participate to discover:

* PAS-55 requires risk management practices and formalized maintenance and reliability strategies

* Current best practices around reliability and maintenance strategy development comply with PAS-55 requirements

* Practical implementation pointers for PAS-55 aligned reliability practices

Asset Criticality – The Foundation of Best in Class Reliability

A 51 minute recorded web workshop playback on demand by Rod Acklin, Commtest

Starting or even re-engineering a reliability centered operation can be a daunting challenge. Essential to the success of your initiative is a meaningful assessment criticality for your installed asset base.

Join Commtest's Rod Acklin as he explores and guides you through how to assess meaningful asset criticality.

View this web workshop to learn:

1) Why is a meaningful criticality assessment important?

2) The essential elements of criticality

3) Applying resources based on the essential elements of criticality

Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair

As part of exploration into the potential benefits of using AR for maintenance and repair, this group designed, implemented, and user tested a prototype augmented reality application to support military mechanics conducting routine maintenance tasks inside an armored vehicle turret.

This prototype uses a tracked head-worn display to augment a mechanics natural view with text, labels, arrows, and animated sequences designed to facilitate task comprehension, location, and execution. A within-subject controlled user study examined professional military mechanics using the system to complete 18 common tasks under field conditions. These tasks included installing and removing fasteners and indicator lights, and connecting cables, all within the cramped interior of an armored personnel carrier turret. An augmented reality condition was tested against two baseline conditions: an untracked head-worn display with text and graphics and a fixed flat panel display representing an improved version of the laptop-based documentation currently employed in practice.

The augmented reality condition allowed mechanics to locate tasks more quickly than when using either baseline, and in some instances, resulted in less overall head movement. A qualitative survey showed mechanics found the augmented reality condition intuitive and satisfying for the tested sequence of tasks.

Bermuda Electric Company’s PM Optimization Program

When staff at the Bermuda Electric Light Co. Ltd researched RCM, precious little data was found regarding its application to a primarily large diesel driven power utilities. The company subsequently decided upon a Planned Maintenance Optimization approach using PMO2000® with aggressive targets and timelines. The targets were, a 20% increase in productivity, chop downtime in half and deliver this within 1 year. In this webinar, Mr. Abayomi Carmichael, Senior Reliability Engineer, Energy Supply with Bermuda Electric Light Co. Ltd will share his experiences and challenges in achieving the target with the PMO2000® approach. Mr. Carmichael recently accepted the coveted Ascendant Impact Award which he collected on behalf of his team at BELCO.

Best Practices for Failure Reporting and Failure Elimination

A 38 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Ricky Smith, GPAllied

Almost every maintenance organization sets some sort of failure elimination goal.  The problem is, most goals are focused on elimination of bad actors or "one asset at a time".

Here is the bad news; this failure elimination process could take forever and still never eliminate the failures. Have you ever performed a Root Cause Analysis on a piece of equipment only to see the failure again soon afterwards?

There are known "Best Practices" in Industry for Failure Reporting but they are fragmented in most organizations and not pulled together providing an organization true success in failure elimination.

This iPresentation will provide each attendee with details on how to establish Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System "Best Practices" which includes;

1) What reports are required to eliminate failures

2) How to identify "failure threads" within different equipment types which can be acted on to bring quick results and make a large impact to the reliability of your operation

3) How to set up a CMMS/EAM with the right types of codes to give you the right reports to eliminate failures
