IMC-2017 Learning Session - 47:14
by Joel Crawford, Performance Consulting Associates

It does feel overwhelming, and is a reality, when real production dollars are lost every day because of unstaffed skilled positions. This is getting the attention now of C level executives across all industries, and strategy sessions are occurring throughout North America board rooms. Facts: 45% of skilled workers are over 45 years old, and about 19% are over 55 (US Bureau of Labor). Millions of skilled engineering and craft skills roles are remaining unstaffed and will continue to grow each year, costing an average of $7,000 in company profits DAILY for each role that goes unmanned (Manpower Group report). There are basic best practice business items that can be done NOW, which will fill open positions more efficiently and retain your talent.

How The Simpsons Taught Me About Green Reliability

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 38:33
by George Mahoney, Merck

There is a Simpson’s Episode where Lisa Simpson gets gum in her hair. Over the course of 2 minutes, about 10 different characters give her suggestions on how to get the gum out. In the end, she got the gum out, but she had to shave her head to do it.

The video can be seen here.

This situation is not much different from what you would find in the Energy World. While in the maintenance world you need to “force” people to begin Reliability projects, the Energy World is much different. Everyone you know is lending advice on energy reduction ideas from LED lighting to Chiller Optimization to Solar Arrays.

These ideas lead an Energy Manager (who is also often the Reliability Manager) to jump from one initiative to the next without ever getting much done.

In addition, these ideas never seem to focus on improving equipment reliability. Not only does this cause energy waste for existing assets that have defects, it also can lead to new assets being installed without a focus on maintenance or reliability.

In this presentation, we will talk about how we got people to focus on “reliability first” on their Energy Management journey. We will discuss how reliability became the base of our Energy Roadmap and how it enabled the implementation and sustainment of all the other steps along the way. In addition, we will talk about how we linked our Energy and Reliability initiatives together so they could be easily learned and implemented. Most importantly, we linked them together so they wouldn’t have to compete for the same time and resources.

Improving Services thru Entitlement and Technology

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 38:48
by David Auton, Cushman and Wakefield Services

All organizations face cost and performance challenges to remain competitive. Additionally, all organizations want to improve and demonstrate good stewardship of their facilities. The reality is that all organizations have process based components that can be assessed to determine the potential performance within existing structures. This presentation strives to help leaders understand how basic awareness of process capability and simple measures can be applied to what are often obscure processes and can be used to identify improvement opportunities. The approaches to determine what actions may be necessary to achieve improvements are reviewed with examples. Methods to estimate the impact of process improvements, technology and tools are reviewed. Using a pragmatic approach, organizations can quickly determine if proposed technology investments are warranted and reasonable.

Smart Infrastructure Asset Management

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 41:20
by Michael Salvato, Metropolitan Transportation Authority

Productivity in infrastructure management is lower than it was 20 years ago. Infrastructure providers have not benefited from modern approaches to management and information technologies available for complex engineering systems and enterprises. Asset management systems, as defined by ISO 55000, outline the management requirements and capabilities necessary for smart Infrastructure, integrated supply chain management, more sustainable and resilient built environment, and better steward of our natural heritage. Smart infrastructure, resulting from the convergence of digital technologies with physical infrastructure, requires a radical paradigm shift in how critical infrastructure systems are managed to support lifecycle optimization and decision making to realize the value for money of continuously improving outcomes.
