One lean manufacturing tool used to eliminate non-added-value activities in production lines is value stream mapping (VSM). VSM identifies wastage of resources and eliminates or reduces them to improve productivity. VSM clearly shows the ineffectiveness of action, measures the waste level and supports in designing the appropriate changes, independently and economically.
This presentation explores opportunities in the synergy of electrical asset management and occupational electrical safety. Methods are discussed to apply and optimize the application of the Uptime Elements and other proven reliability management systems and tools to help assure performance of assets critical to electrical safety.
A worker’s confidence in electrical safety directly impacts his/her task productivity. This presentation will focus on the various challenges involved in mechanical and electrical lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, NFPA guidelines and ways to enhance workers’ confidence and productivity while performing maintenance tasks through the use of permanent electrical safety devices (PESDs).

The roadmap to good asset management and operational excellence starts with strategy development – determining the proactive actions to be taken for the sustainable, reliable, and safe operation of production assets.
Business case evaluations (BCEs) are used as integral parts of comprehensive asset management and capital improvement programs (CIPs) to make good capital investment and decisions.
Nike Air MI maintenance department is transitioning from a reactive maintenance program to a reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategy. At Nike Air MI, we believe achieving world-class maintenance is a destination and not a goal, and when implementing new strategies, we ensure systems are sustainable and directly affects the bottom-line of the business.
Start-up company TRK Manufacturing, just began production in Anywhere, USA. How do they maintain their assets? What should they focus on? What predictive tools and technologies should they have?
San Jose Water (SJW) serves high-quality, life sustaining water to over 1 million people in the Silicon Valley and greater San Jose metropolitan area. Hundreds of thousands of assets spread out over multiple cities must continue to perform their intended functions in order to provide high-quality, reliable water service. Although absolute reliability is unrealistic and infeasible, SJW has successfully leveraged advanced engineering criticality analyses to enhance infrastructure reliability and improve maintenance strategy.
Before you get to the "do," you have to have a plan. Those that have a strategy have the best results in the end. This is even more true with a proper maintenance strategy as a foundation.
Bentley invests in FutureOn for subsea planning, engineering and visibility
EXTON, Pa. – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading global provider of comprehensive software and digital twin cloud services for advancing the design, construction, and operations of infrastructure today announced that Shell’s Deepwater business has selected Bentley’s digital twin approach to streamline its capital projects process and accelerate time to first oil.
This informational session will familiarize attendees with the formal Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Analysis process, methods to integrate stakeholders into the RCM process, and highlight the critical insights that are available from the application of this process to support building a cost-effective maintenance program. The presentation content provides the groundwork for optimizing “uptime” and equipment reliability as applied to complex systems.
There are two separate worlds when it comes to asset management and both think they can do without the other. If they only knew, how much impact they could have if they combine forces.
Having representative key performance indicators (KPIs) is important in gaining needed control to assure fulfillment of achievement for organizations and stakeholders’ goals and needed values. But they are only useful if we succeed to identify the right ones for our business and processes. They will only deliver critical information and targeted outcomes if we built them by strategic, meaningful, simple top-down approach.
This presentation will cover how to align DfR with the corporate vision, mission and core values by establishing a declaration, preparing DfR charters for specific projects, and developing the corporate DfR framework and toolkit to ensure the momentum and commitments gained during the DfR workshop would continue to be a priority and the expected value, cultural influence, reliability, and performance results would be realized.
