With a $3.0B maintenance backlog and a consistently underfunded budget, NASA is tackling its aging infrastructure head-on. This session reveals NASA’s multi-pronged RCM initiative, which includes a new training program, maintenance prioritization based on mission relevance, and an agency-wide analysis of best practices to ensure limited resources are focused on the most critical assets.
With limited resources, how does NASA ensure its most critical assets are always reliable? This session details NASA's tiered maintenance strategy, a framework that uses mission relevancy scores to prioritize assets. Learn how this approach provides a cost-effective blend of RCM techniques—including CBM, PM, and Reactive Maintenance—to ensure the right resources are allocated to the right assets at the right time.
NASA's aging infrastructure has resulted in a staggering $3.8B in deferred maintenance, with unplanned failures consuming up to 30% of its annual budget. The 2023 Agency Master Plan (AMP) is NASA’s strategic roadmap to tackle this challenge. Learn how this collaboratively developed, data-driven plan is guiding investments, optimizing real property assets, and laying the groundwork for a more affordable and resilient future for mission-critical infrastructure.
Most organizations use some of the Uptime® Elements, but how do you create a cohesive plan for the rest? In this session, Jim Carrel and Kevin Brown from the University of Kansas Health System share how they built a resilient 2-year plan that aligns with their organization's vision. Learn how they navigated the challenges and achieved success in implementing a program designed to sustain far beyond its initial rollout.
