Workshop#1
Maintenance 101 Things You Must Know to Have a Proactive Maintenance Organization
and
Maintenance 201
More Things You Must Know To Have A Proactive Maintenance Organization
by Bruce Hawkins, CMRP, MRG Inc.

You've just been named Maintenance Manager of a large manufacturing plant. You have the responsibility of maintaining the plant equipment at a high level of reliability within a severely constrained budget. How in the world do you get your arms around this beast we call Maintenance and get it under control?

The good news is that there is a wealth of information in books, magazine articles, internet articles, and conference proceedings concerning the subject of Maintenance Management. It's also the bad news, because there is so much out there that it's overwhelming. It really doesn't tell you where to start. In this first of two part workshop, Bruce Hawkins, CMRP, will explore ten of the most basic concepts that every maintenance manager must know to put into practice. These will provide a springboard to more advanced concepts that will provide increasing value to your organization.

In this second part of the workshop, Bruce builds on those points by discussing ten additional concepts that both reinforce those foundational elements and provide guidance for ingraining them into your organization.  Many of these concepts address managerial tips and techniques that are not always addressed in company-sponsored management training programs, but are essential for building an organization that contains the requisite level of discipline for creating a world-class reliability program.


Workshop#2
Lean Maintenance by Joel Levitt, Author, Lean Maintenance

As a practical workshop, Lean Maintenance, will take the student on a journey from uncovering waste, designing projects to address the waste, selling the projects to management and delivering the projects. Every area in maintenance is covered, including your Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) effort, storeroom, Preventive Maintenance (PM) tasking, work orders and computer systems.

What's more, the user will be able to immediately what you learn in this workshop to start the process of saving money, energy, or time as soon as you return to work!

Topics include:

  • Introduction to Lean Maintenance
  • Distinguishing Lean Maintenance from Everything Else
  • Lean Maintenance and World-Class Maintenance
  • Lean Worker
  • Lean Maintenance and Safety
  • Lean Organization and Maintenance Support
  • Lean Maintenance Parts and Storeroom
  • Lean Maintenance and the Work Order System
  • Lean and the Use of the CMMS to Uncover Waste
  • Enabling Technology for Lean Maintenance
  • Lean Planning and Scheduling
  • Lean Fire-Fighting
  • Lean PM
  • TPM and Lean Maintenance
  • 5 S's Contribution to Lean Maintenance
  • The Lean Machine
  • RCM and Lean Maintenance
  • Lean Outsourcing
  • Initiating Lean Projects
  • Where to Look for Waste
  • Developing the List of Wastes into a List of Projects
  • Once a Project for Refinement Has Been Chosen
  • Putting the Finishing Touches on Written and Verbal Presentations
  • Publishing Lean Projects
  • How a School District could save $1,000,000

 


Workshop#3
Creating Culture Change for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals
by Stephen J. Thomas, Author - Successfully Managing Change in Organizations

This unique and innovative workshop explains how to improve your maintenance and reliability performance at the plant level by changing the organizations culture.

It is specifically intended for managers in the manufacturing and process industries. This workshop demystifies the concept of organizational culture and links it with the eight elements of change: leadership, work process, structure, group learning, technology, communication, interrelationships, and rewards. If you want to break the cycle of failed improvement programs and instead use cultural change to help make significant and lasting improvements in plant performance, this workshop will show you how.


Workshop#4 TBD
 


Workshop#5
Reliability Tools in a Capital Project from FEL I through Execution by Bob DiFrancesco, ARMS Reliability Engineers

Time was that a major capital project was judged strictly by schedule and budget coherence. In many cases this is sadly still the case.

Some organizations like IPA now suggest that best in class capital projects go a step further. Project teams are going beyond the HAZOP utilizing Reliability Tools to interrogate a projects design. The typical tools include Reliability Block Logic Diagrams, Reliability Centered Maintenance and Life Cycle Cost Analysis.

The closer to the conceptual phase of a project that tools are introduced the greater impact they can have on the assets’ long term success. In the best case they can impact Reliability in Design by identifying potential critical design improvements that will improve the assets availability. At latter stages they can identify maintenance requirement bottlenecks that impact availability.

If identified early enough in the FEL process critical bottlenecks can be eliminated by cost effective design changes, if not they are identified for future asset enhancements. At the very least the tools can develop an optimized asset management plan so the overall availability of the equipment and the necessary resources to operate and maintain it are understood prior to commissioning.

The workshop will outline how the tools are used during each project phase and what deliverables are generated.


Workshop#6
Maintenance Planning Workshop
by Jeff Shiver, People and Processes

This workshop includes less lecture and more exercises to meet the following agenda:

  • Short Introduction and Goals of Workshop
  • How good can it get? Eliminate the typical industry frustrations in Planning.
  • Principles of Effective Planning
  • Effective Scheduling Principles
  • Work and Planning Flow
  • Implementing Job Plans
  • Control of Planning Roles and Responsibilities
  • Interfacing with Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
  • Recap and Close

Effective planning, scheduling and the coordination of maintenance activities are the major components of achieving the objectives of Best Practices, and are typically responsible for the majority of your overall cost savings and your Return On Investment (ROI). The one day Planner/Scheduler course is developed to provide your maintenance planners and other stakeholders with the tools they need to become successful in a proactive maintenance environment.

In addition to those who may be new to Maintenance Planning or in need of a refresher, the course is a great opportunity for other partners such as Maintenance and Operations Managers, Supervisors, Operators, and Craftspeople to understand the role Planning and Scheduling takes in leading the change to a proactive environment.
