MRO Optimization – Driving the Supply Chain

MRO Optimization – Driving the Supply Chain

An hour long presentation by Crystal Howe & Aimee Hiskett, Xtivity & Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority - WMATA

In order to reduce the consequences of asset failure repair parts must be available. Ideally MRO professionals strive to have the right part, at the right time, in the right quantity. The availability of parts is simple to understand, especially for WMATA (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority) for their vehicles must be service-ready to make money. Maintenance and maintenance inventories (MRO) are a necessary function and significant cost to achieve this end. Parts must be available in different locations across a city at any time. Parts have a shelf life and must change as the fleet changes. Please join Xtivity's Director of Product services Crystal Howe, and WMATA's Manger of Contract & Parts, Aimee Hiskett as they present the solution to the problems faced by today's MRO professionals.

Building Reliability into Your Storeroom with Best Practices

An hour long presentation by Robert L. Wilson – CMRP, Director of Assessments, The MRO Connection LLC

The purpose of the MRO storeroom is to reduce the consequences of asset failure. But we live in a world dominated by cash-flow concerns, leaner staffing, and a growing concern over non-productive assets. The storeroom can become a vital link in the reliability chain. The balance between risk and investment lies in a structured approach to provide the right part, at the right time, in the right quantity, and establish the clear and compelling connection between MRO materials management and asset reliability.

Challenging the MRO Summit - The Mountaineer’s Guide to Success

An hour long presentation by Rich MacInnes, Partner, MRO Connection

“Life always gets harder toward the summit-the cold increases, the responsibility increases.”
Fredrich Nietzche

Lean experts teach us to see Waste in our operations, so why can’t we see the mountain of MRO materials—whose very existence is to respond to imagined or actual failure. Where cross industry analysis indicate that 58% of annual MRO investments will still be in place 3 years later and 68% of SKUs purchased annually will never be used. This mountain of MRO stock grows nearly 7% annually—this is Waste by any definition. Join MRO Connection in a guided path to reaching the MRO summit, highlighting essential skills while providing insight on the right gear to pack and tackle the seemingly insurmountable MRO challenges.

Measuring the Central Hub – Planning and Scheduling Metrics

An hour long presentation by Jeff Shiver CMRP, CPMM - Managing Principal

We constantly hear about metrics like OEE, PM Compliance, and Schedule Compliance that help measure productivity, availability, and the maintenance work management process as examples. In the end, these metrics are used to drive behaviors within the organization. I'm reminded of a statement that a Plant Manager in a large food and beverage manufacturer once told me. He said, "Jeff, We measure what we treasure!" If so, what is it in the Maintenance organization that we treasure?

Does your Predictive Maintenance Program include all of the essential elements?

A 45-minute long presentation by Jim Seifer, Director of Channel Development, Commtest

Many organizations are operating under the belief that they have a complete predictive maintenance program. If they look at the total picture, they will actually find that their program is missing essential elements which would allow them to meet their needs. To run an efficient best-in class organization, companies need to make sure that their program prioritizes the three essential elements.

The Maintenance Storeroom: Keys to Efficient Maintenance Operation

By Jeff Zeiler

Besides being the central hub for maintenance, the storeroom also provides functions that are absolutely critical to the maintenance operation. These functions are so important that when the storeroom is operating in a best practices mode, the rest of the maintenance operation can excel - the storeroom is the enabler. Put another way, if the storeroom is run improperly (such as poor inventory accuracy, parts unavailable when needed due to poor replenishment and procurement practices, etc), the rest of the maintenance operation has no chance of achieving high service levels of equipment availability and reliability.
