Using Oracle® eAM to drive your Condition Based Maintenance program

Using Oracle® eAM to drive your Condition Based Maintenance program

A 60 minute recorded web workshop led by Jay West, EAM Master LLC

Many companies are struggling to migrate from a mostly reactive maintenance approach to more of a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) philosophy. The business benefits of lower downtime and lower lifecycle cost for this maintenance approach have been well documented and proven.

This webinar will explain how Oracle eAM can best be utilized to support your CBM program. We will first provide a brief background on the engineering and science behind Condition Based Maintenance. We will then walk through a step-by-step process that is typically used to implement CBM. At each step we will identify the techniques and methods that are used and explain how Oracle eAM can be used to support them.

Additionally, we will clarify Oracle's limitations and provide suggestions for workarounds and/or extensions. Finally, we will leave a few minutes at the end for Q/A. No matter what stage of the "CBM Journey" your company is in, this seminar will help you understand how Oracle eAM can help you get there.

The final 10% OEE - Achieving Operational Excellence (and Competitive Advantage)

I subscribe to a number of blogs, and one feed last week (from Seth Godin) discussed the difficulty of attaining the last 10% of almost anything. The slicker your processes and the higher the levels of service you deliver are, the harder it becomes to progress as there are fewer improvement opportunities to capitalize on. Lots of companies make cars that reach 120 mph, but far less achieve 180mph, and even fewer reach 200mph. As the speed gets faster, cost, effort and performance has to increase. To reach 180mph it's not just a question of spending big money on engine design and components, there have to be improvements made to chassis, suspension, brakes and tyre performance. This often results in trade-offs being made. My old Chevrolet, for instance, could reach silly speeds in a straight line (closed road, professional driver) but when it was driven slowly everything clunked and clicked. There was so much float in the brakes to allow for expansion when they got hot that stopping the car when they were cold took a mighty push on the pedal.

Cloudy with a 100% Chance of Enhanced Operational Efficiency

A Brief Introduction to Cloud Computing

by Jonathan Hakim

Software as a Service (SaaS), also commonly referred to as “cloud computing” or “on-demand services,” is sweeping through enterprises in just about every industry.  With SaaS, a customer licenses an application for use as a service on demand, either through a time subscription or a “pay-as-you-go” model, rather than purchase the hardware and software to run a standalone application on their own.

Failure Elimination Made Simple

by Ricky Smith, CPMM, CMRP and Bill Keeter, CMRP

How good is your organization at identifying failures?  Of course you see failures when they occur, but can you identify when recurring failures are creating serious equipment reliability issues?  Most companies begin applying RCA or RCFA to “high value failures”.  While this is not wrong, I prefer to either not see the failure in the first place, or at the least, to reduce the failures to a controllable level.
