EAM Learning Zone 5 IPSED: Back to Basics by Dave Abecunas, CMRP, Signum Group Many modern maintenance approaches today focus a lot of attention to technology and organizational management. But, have we forgotten the basics? Have our maintenance departments started to fall back on basic work practices in pursuit of high technology and complex work processes? Any maintenance organization needs to maintain proficiency in Identifying, Planning, Scheduling, Executing and Documenting work - IPSED. Study, and Vendor Recommended Spare Parts evaluations that we have developed within Agbami Operations Assurance (OA) Project for Chevron’s Agbami Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) which is a new design and construction Oil & Gas Production Facility to be commissioned offshore Nigeria. The FPSO contains approximately 90 integrated Production and Marine systems with the production capacity of 250,000 BOPD and storage capacity of 2 M barrels. Managing Reliability Information Across the Corporation by Forrest Pardue, 24/7 This paper will discuss how two major food & beverage corporations use an Internet-based communication service to create consistent operations and information flow in condition monitoring activities at their different plant sites, even when outside contractors are providing monitoring services. Some of the key issues discussed are: · Common syntax across plants for defining critical equipment · Common fault definitions across technologies & plants · Managing frequency & completion of monitoring tasks · Standardizing reporting & metrics of reliability progress across the corporation · Role of Internet-based communications in creating consistent corporate accountability for reliability improvement The Benefits of an Integrated Reliability Strategy driven by RCM by Tim Penny, Graphics Packaging and Dennis Belanger, MRG GPI is in the early stages of implementing an integrated reliability initiative that include expanded utilization of their EAM, standardization and expansion of best practices for reliability and maintenance. At the core of this effort is the extensive use of RCM and FMEA analysis to properly identify maintenance tasking. This presentation will highlight the approach they are using, the successes and results they have seen, stumbling blocks, lessons learned and future plans. Motor Asset Management from Cradle to Grave by Noah Bethel, PdMA This presentation will discuss methods of optimizing the motor management and maintenance effort through software applications utilizing state of the art scheduling and tracking features. We will demonstrate the effectiveness of tracking a motor asset from cradle to grave including initial receipt and quality control, predictive testing and trending, multiple repairs, and installation into different applications. Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) Using Continuous Monitoring: Developments and Examples by Wayne Stargardt, Aleier, Inc. Predictive maintenance (PdM) can be more cost effective than conventional preventive maintenance, but the cost of acquiring operating data has limited its application to only more expensive or critical equipment. New developments in wireless technologies have lowered costs for gathering data to perform PdM on a broader range of equipment. Continuous, automatic monitoring by the CMMS can extend CBM strategies to more equipment and improve the performance of corrective maintenance. This presentation reviews recent developments in wireless technologies, describes typical costs and integration of data with a CMMS, and how the CMMS can utilize. Finally, the presentation will profile examples in which wireless monitoring is improving maintenance operations. Designing Asset Management Software for Maximized Usability/Productivity in Close Cooperation with the Industry Itself by Anders Lif, IFS In this presentation we will look at how the use of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research and close cooperation with user groups from the asset intensive industry completely changed the way business applications were built when designed for user productivity instead of just trying to fulfill a certain functional task. In this session we will share experiences in the Nordic pulp & paper industry and also look at some design principles that changed the business Roadapplication world for these map to people when re-designing an OEE application successful for optimized user Maintenance productivity. Operations Assurance (OA) Project for Chevron’s Agbami Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Facility by Fatih Yeter, CMRP, Preops Integrated Solutions This session will discuss eral years CMMS (JDE 8.11) data dewithout velopment, High Level consistent Work Systems and EquipOrder Types, Namment Criticality ing Conventions, Craft Ranking, RCM Assignments, Scheduling and Job/Labor Estimations and how we created a new culture that appreciated the importance of accurate information for better management decisions. Management System Implementation by Jim Caldwell, GE Aviation Supply Chain This presentation attempts to disclose the bumps in the road most are likely to experience when trying to implement a full EAM/ CMMS system. This session will cover ideas to choose the best system, proper ground work to import data, implementation, training, super users, EAM/CMMS data in daily operation and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The second part of the presentation focused on practical examples and methods for ensuring data integration and more importantly, management support. Using examples from various industries and experts, I will emphasize the need for research and prioritizing especially when constructing equipment and asset tables. We will explore how coding can streamline reports and projections, the importance of Inventory and Vendor information and finally, how to anticipate the changing goals and expectations of management and supervisors. for more info or to register visit us online - www.maintenanceconference.com http://www.maintenanceconference.com
