International Maintenance Conference: The Speed of Reliability
Elevators are a top problem in healthcare—costly, unreliable, and vendor-driven. Mike Bigelow (Seattle Children's Hospital) reveals how he used performance-based contracts (tying fees to MTBF) and dedicated mechanics to achieve a 3X improvement in mean time between failures (MTBF), driving resilience and massive cost savings.
Turnaround Scoping is vital for maximizing plant reliability. Learn how to use equipment criticality and risk evaluation for scope identification, optimization, and prioritization to ensure high-quality activities and avoid unplanned outages with optimum cost.
Deploying RCM at seven sites in two years is possible. Ross Shaeffer details HF Sinclair’s aggressive reliability journey, revealing how the right combination of Cenosco's IMS RCM software, MaxGrip consultants, and strategic processes are key to realizing value and optimizing fleetwide asset reliability.
Casing distortion is the hidden enemy: pipe strain and soft foot displace bearing loads, destroying the lubrication film. Learn how to avoid this condition and ensure mechanical integrity for critical rotating equipment, especially compressors handling new, high-pressure fuels like Hydrogen.
