RCM Learning Zone 2, continued in 2006. This paper will describe the AFSM 100 RCM analysis performed at the Maintenance Technical Support Center (MTSC) in Norman, OK, and its implementation that was conducted on machines at a processing facility in Phoenix, Arizona. and new processes. Combining RCM2 with Asset Performance Software to Increase Equipment Utilization by Mike Schultz, Dofasco ArcelorMittal This session will demonstrate how North America’s leading steel solutions provider, Dofasco ArcelorMittal, combined the powerful analysis capabilities of RCM2 with the latest in asset performance software to increase asset utilization rates at its Central Shipping operations. Attend this session and understand how Dofasco’s Central Shipping department surpassed its 96% stacker crane utilization target, achieving 98% utilization rate. a New 30 Ton Overhead Bridge Crane at Lockheed Martin by Terry Spychalski and Terry Finnegan - Lockheed Martin Space Systems Lockheed Martin has embarked on a comprehensive review of the risk associated with the manufacture, handling and transportation of the Space System’s Company’s products. One of the many projects that are on-going involves an evaluation of the risks with its Facilities. This paper addresses a recent in-depth study using the Classical RCM process to improve the focus of its Preventive Maintenance tasks as a key element of crane risk reduction. The Need for Implementation Frameworks and Their Value in RCM Initiatives by Anthony McNeeney, RMG In order to achieve culture change and buy-in across several disciplines, asset reliability improvement initiatives Johnson Controls Inc (JCI) developed a strong conceptual framework called Business Directed Maintenance (BDM) which captures the structure, objectives and rational for a path forward at client sites. This short course outlines some of the features of the BDM framework and illustrates the value of the framework in structuring new technologies Classical RCM Application to portant to gain an understanding of how and why human errors occur. Human beings all make mistakes. Within society this is generally perceived as a bad thing, something to be punished for by allocating blame and sometimes shame to one individual or group. This presentation challenges that position and will present an introduction to understanding and managing human error within the RCM process. The Development of a Local and Distance Delivered Reliability and Maintainability Engineering Masters Degree Program by Wes Hines, University of Tennessee This presentation will present the development of a MS degree program in Reliability and Maintainability Engineering. It will describe surveys developed to measure the industrial demand and curricular content, procedures necessary to get such a degree approved, implementation issues, and their outcomes. The technology used to deliver the courses at a distance will be presented and demonstrated. Lastly, an overview of the curricular content will be given. MTrain Learning Zone 3 The Changing Roll of the Craftsperson in Industry by Chuck Kooistra, CMRP, GP One of the most pressing issues facing most companies is the lack of qualified technical labor. A shortfall of maintenance engineers and technicians is having a significant impact on North American manufacturing. The old paradigms of how we recruit, train and retain our craftspeople no longer hold true. This short course will discuss changes that we need to make in recruiting, selecting and training of maintenance personnel. It will also examine how the craftperson’s role needs to change in respect to reliability and routine equipment care. Utilizing Knowledge-Based Maintenance for Operation and Maintenance Activities by Eng. Sultan AL Khuraissi, PMP, Royal Commission for Jubail, Saudi Arabia Critical issues in operation and maintenance projects in Saudi Arabia are of the application of knowledge and experience on different projects, and the prevention of this knowledge and experience from leaving the country. However, knowledge management (KM) plays a vital role in utilizing project and individual knowledge within organizations. The present study presents a knowledge-based maintenance (KBM) software program that is developed to utilize the knowledge management approach on maintenance projects. This study will describe software functions, processes, potential benefits and limitations and implementation. The feasibility and potential benefits of using maintenance knowledge and best practice through optimization of a practical, knowledge-based maintenance software system will be discussed. Developing a Pay for Skills Program by Pete Little, MPACT Learning Center This short course explores a pay-for-skills training program for maintenance technicians. As companies add more automation, technicians were not equipped to deal with the increasingly complex and sophisticated equipment that was literally pouring into the company. This presentation also considers how to develop a multi-craft curriculum and discusses policies to cover program entrance requirements; handling of existing personnel, new hires [experienced], and new hires [inexperienced]; pay scales; testing procedures and passing grade levels; minimum and maximum times-in-grade; minimum acceptable achievement levels to remain in the program; disposition of failures; performance reviews procedures; an implementation plan; and recommended self-study materials to complement the hands-on education. Understanding Human Reliability by Derek Burley, Cargill As experience grows in using RCM to improve maintenance performance, it has become evident that a significant proportion of failure modes are related to human error. In order to effectively manage these failure modes it is im- for more info or to register visit us online - www.maintenanceconference.com http://www.maintenanceconference.com
