Workshop #2 PM Optimization by Steve Turner, OMCS This workshop is designed to assist maintenance and reliability professionals develop an understanding of alternate paths to the development and implementation of effective maintenance strategies. The workshop emphasizes the PM Optimization (PMO) methodology, an RCM based approach to maintenance analysis. Whereas RCM was developed for new plant and the design process, PMO was developed specifically to improve the performance of established maintenance operations quickly and effectively utilizing RCM principles. Establishing Rather than starting from scratch and evaluating many failure possibilities, PMO directly focuses on plant a Competency and personnel productivity by: Based Mainte• Eliminating all redundant PM work and task duplication; nance and Reliabil• Ensuring that all PM is done at the correct interval by the most effective means; ity Training Program • Achieving substantial improvements in uptime by moving to a more rational maintenance program based on specific business and production needs; • Quickly identifying preventable failures and addressing them through PM tasks. • Forming a close knit relationship amongst those involved in managing the plant at the “grass roots” level, that is, the operators, trades people and other hands-on specialists. A significant strength in the program is its ability to harness the latent knowledge of these people and empower them to “make a difference”. When people work together towards a common goal, their interdependencies form a complex system.

Workshop #3 by Perry Lovelace and Andy Page by Tim White Planning and (Re) Implementing An EAM System Enterprise Asset Management implementation is the holistic approach to managing the value of your assets through their life-cycle. Companies all over the world are realizing that EAM systems offer the most effective way to optimize equipment reliability, maximize profit and sharpen efficiency. This workshop teaches an approach that manages all components (financial, operational, maintenance) that impact the life-cycle value of an asset and creates an effective standardized environment with far-reaching benefits. Participants will learn how to create a successful, sustainable EAM implementation with the following benefits: Increase uptime which will increase output production, Deliver reduced operating costs, Deliver reduced inventory costs through effective supply chain management, Create an efficient environment that will act as a model throughout every department at the enterprise level, Deliver increased asset life and improved asset health please call 1-888-575-1245 or 305-735-3746 with any questions Workshop #4
