Introduction to RCM Blitz
The decision process in
Traditional RCM often leads to "No Scheduled maintenance" or "Run to
Failure" for failure modes that can’t be predicted, prevented or eliminated.
Coming from a manufacturing and maintenance background, we knew this
strategy was not only real, but also frightening. Unscheduled downtime costs
add up quickly. The best way to reduce this cost is to reduce the downtime
cycle by having a consequence reduction strategy in place. Make sure you
have the right procedures, spare parts and resources in place to repair the
failure in the shortest time possible.
RCM Blitz offers a Reliability
Centered Maintenance approach that reduced the time and resources required
for analysis.
Attend this workshop to:
-
Learn how develop a
complete Maintenance Strategy for your equipment
-
Learn where to apply
predictive and preventive maintenance tasks
-
Learn how to
determine what spare parts are critical to your business and what parts
can be eliminated from your inventory
-
Improved
Manufacturing and Equipment Reliability
-
Reduced Maintenance
Costs
-
Reduced Unit Cost of
Finished Product
-
A Reduction in
Health, Safety and Environmental Incidents

Workshop #2
The Manufacturing Game®
The Manufacturing Game®
is a strategic simulation of a manufacturing plant. It is a powerful tool
for teaching the principles of Systems Thinking, High Commitment & High
Performing Teams, planning, and defect elimination in a Total Quality
environment. The Manufacturing Game® is particularly useful for revealing:
-
organizational
breakdowns caused by "local" or functional perspectives
-
the challenges of
reversing "momentum" of past practices within an organization
-
how the structure of
a system drives its behavior
-
the tendency of
feedback loops to amplify or diminish the actions and responses of
management
-
breakdowns caused by
operational and informational delays in the "system"
-
our tendency to
focus on what is measurable rather than that which is important to make
our decisions
-
actual steps for
transforming a mediocre facility into one where production, quality, and
teamwork are sustainably increased even as the resources required for
operation are ultimately reduced
ACTION LEARNING
The Manufacturing Game®
is a hands-on learning experience where participants work together in teams
of three to six players. Team members make assessments about the operation
and performance of their departments and the organization, make requests and
promises to one another, and make increasingly proactive decisions about
production, strategy, planning, inventories, manufacturing, effectiveness,
maintenance, and the allocation of scarce resources.
COURSE OUTCOMES
Managers, staff,
operators, mechanics, storeroom, and support personnel who play The
Manufacturing Game® will benefit by becoming more effective at:
-
achieving global
goals while handling functional tasks
-
collaborating with
other functions to optimize organizational performance
-
maintaining a long
term perspective while servicing short term needs and goals
-
viewing an
organization's structure as a network of interactions with many feedback
loops, delays, and constituencies
-
identifying the
"high leverage intervention points" within such an organization to
improve performance
-
thinking, planning
and acting proactively in the midst of uncertainty and pressure

Workshop #3
The Reliability Game®
Is your organization hesitant to adopt a reliability-based
approach to maintenance?
Trying to change organizational culture is often challenging, but it is also
very rewarding.
The Reliability Game is designed to teach participants how to make the
transition from a reactive to a proactive maintenance environment. They will
learn to "follow the money" and further their understanding of the business
potential of reliability.
Participants will learn:
-
The financial opportunity associated with proactive
maintenance
-
Where the money goes
-
How to stop wasting money
-
How is it used?
The Reliability Game is played by teams of four people who will assume one
of the following roles: Finance Manager, Purchasing Coordinator, Maintenance
Resource Planner, Operations Coordinator. The concept is simple: each team
determines the best way to manage their equipment, money, time, labor and
material resources. Throughout the simulation, each team's financial
performance is tracked and discussed, creating a competitive atmosphere. By
the game's end there is typically a greater appreciation for the value of
reliability and the entire reliability philosophy.

Workshop #4
Association for Maintenance Professionals Breakthrough Session
Reliability Initiative Leadership by Paul Campbell, Rick Baldridge,
Terrence O'Hanlon and John Schultz
Warning:
This is an interactive workshop and active participation is required.
The Association for
Maintenance Professionals (AMP) is a new organization dedicated to
improving maintenance professionals through training and certification.
Please join AMP for a day of learning from subject matter experts, group
discussion and group benchmarking on the important topic of reliability
initiative leadership.
Topics for workshop
presentations, discussion and benchmarking are
- Level of Sponsorship - What level
of the organization is sponsoring and/or championing the reliability
initiative (i.e. at the department level, plant level, business unit level
or enterprise level).
- Role of Change Management - Does the team ac knowledge the cultural
aspects and resistance to change? Is an effective and formalized
change management process in place?
- Business Case Driven - Is there a formal business case
written that documents Return of Investment (ROI) opportunity.
- Active Learning - Is there a formal development plan to ensure job
and tasks will match with team ability and resources? Are roles and
responsibility defined? Are the tasks mapped to competency required?
What role does certification play?
- Master Plan Driven - Is there a formalized and detailed plan
document?
- Interdepartmental Involvement - Is this initiative isolated
in the maintenance and reliability departments or is operations/production
and procurement/purchasing actively involved?
- Capital Involvement - Do decision for capital deployment include
design for reliability/design for maintainability?
- Corporate/Commercial Leadership Involvement - Does the team running
overall business have enough awareness and information to reliability impact
into account as part of their decision process?
Definitions
will be clearly presented to allow for an actual benchmarking opportunity.
