SAP EAM Data Quality

An hour long presentation by Phil Vallie, Vice President Professional Services, Vesta and Michael Jordan, Global Director, Utopia, Inc.

Data plays a critical role in the success of maintenance management systems. This is especially true with enterprise-level solutions like SAP, where a single source of data is utilized by multiple groups within an organization. Furthermore, as technology advances and maintenance originations are able to take advantage of tools like mobile devices and advanced analytics, the importance of data will become even more critical. Many companies struggle with how to how to determine the quality of their data, as well as what indicators to measure. This presentation will focus on the value of good data, and discuss tools that have been developed to help analyze that quality of EAM data across your organization.

Managing Materials Used During PMs

An hour long presentation by Clark Kimmel, Senior Consultant, People and Processes, Inc.

Materials management is a critical part of an organizations ability to maintain and sustain reliability. Too many unnecessary or seldom used parts and materials on a shelf can waste resources. Resources are utilized to handle, house, maintain and kit or issue parts. Often times these resources are consumed on parts that haven't moved in years.

Asset or Maintenance Management - What Are We Trying to Standardize?

An hour long presentation by Terry Wireman, Senior VP, Strategic Development, Vesta Partners

First there was PAS-55. Now we have a Draft International Standard (DIS) focusing on asset management (proposed ISO-55000). Why would companies want to be certified under an asset management standard? How will this impact them financially? What will this mean for maintenance and reliability professionals? These and other issues will be explored during the webinar.

A Strong Shop Floor: Successful Planning & Scheduling Secret Ingredient

An hour long presentation by Ken Arthur, Performance Consultant, GPAllied

Our production personnel can be the eyes and ears of the maintenance group if they are trained to know how equipment fails, what to look for, and how to report abnormalities. Operators are critical to helping an organization achieve early identification of problems, which then allows more time to plan, schedule, coordinate and execute work to prevent costly failures. Early identification of problems is one of the keys to planning & scheduling success, and a strong "Shop Floor" is oftentimes the missing ingredient.

CMMS Best Practices Study - A Perspective

Julie Rampello

Selected graphs are taken from the CMMS Best Practices Study and are consistent with report's figure reference.

Reliabilityweb.com produced a CMMS Best Practices Study in July 2011 demonstrating the value computerized maintenance management systems add, as well as areas for future growth and improvement. The report was based on a survey of users conducted earlier that year which focused on implementation, use and sustainability.

As a marketer, this report is important as it provides an opportunity to better understand the user experience with CMMS in general and, for the Maximo brand specifically, the CMMS that Projetech provides. From this report, we see there is much that is changing in CMMS and the details summarized in the report provide us with opportunities to address the evolving needs of our customers. It is my pleasure to provide a perspective on the results of the survey and report.

Do I Really Need This in my Storeroom

An hour long presentation by Andy Page, Director GPAllied

In this economic environment, storerooms are under the magnifying glass to identify ways to save. As such, the need to identify what stock is critical to an asset and what stock is expendable is imperative. This is where reliability processes, normally limited to maintenance people and reliability engineers, comes into the equation. Certain reliability processes such as Failure Modes Analysis (FMA), FRACAS, and criticality analysis can paint a very clear picture of what parts are likely to be needed and how often.

This webinar will discuss how the reliability world and the stores world come together to create a comprehensive picture of what we can expect from our equipment base and how the right stores strategy can affect it, as well as how these processes can benefit the current demands on MRO inventory.

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.

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.
