Up Time Magazine - December 2008/January 2009 - (Page R13) Paper 24 Engineering Content Management by Verl Davis, AssetPoint Reliability Services Engineering Content Management bridges the gap between engineering and maintenance and controls the drawings, specifications and other documents. When a change is needed to the physical facility or manufacturing process we can use the equipment numbers to access all the related drawings and specifications from the plant design documents in the ECM document vault. This is especially useful when new plants are designed and built, this capability can be used to deliver the design documentation including “as built” drawings in electronic format already linked with the EAM/CMMS capabilities. This presentation explains how design information is not be lost in translation when delivering it to the owner after construction and how it would facilitate use by plant engineering and the maintenance and reliability operation. Paper 28 The Optimization Trap by Phillip Slater, Initiate Action Whether it is maintenance strategy, planning, manning, PMs or inventory, an optimal outcome is always the goal. Yet, pursuing optimization does not always deliver the results that are expected. The optimization trap explains how and why this happens. Surprisingly, most people that are caught by the optimization trap don’t even realize it. This paper explains the Optimization Trap, what it is, how to tell whether you are in danger of falling into the trap, and, if you have already, what you can do about. Paper 29 The Analytics Advantage by Steve Turner, OMCS Most capital intensive industries collect plant performance data, investigate reliability incidents and eliminate sources of loss. Observations across many industries and companies across the globe lead us to the conclusion that these processes, while very important, are amongst the most fragmented and poorly executed of all. • • • • Have you ever had a “no brainer” project knocked back because of poor data? Are you too afraid to propose the big improvement project because you can’t prove your case? Have you ever thought of creating your own data collection system because the production data is not accurate and does not provide the information you need? Have you ever heard your accountant say: “in God we trust, but everyone else needs data”? The good news is that setting up a first class plant performance data collection system is not a big investment and is not difficult to achieve – in fact your production people probably already have a data collection system! Paper 33 Optimized Planning And Scheduling by Bart Lorang, DTS For asset-intensive operations, maximizing the use of maintenance dollars is critical. Put simply, planned and scheduled maintenance costs less than unscheduled and reactive maintenance. A common problem experienced throughout asset-intensive industries is figuring out how to drive efficient work execution management practices in order to push valuable data back across the enterprise so more informed decisions can be made at the executive level. This presentation discusses how your organization can benefit by ‘taking back’ its work execution process, eliminating spreadsheets, hand-written journals, whiteboards -- and find out how you can get to one version of the truth. Paper 34 Calibration Management And Your ERP: Have The Best Of Both Worlds by Bill Taliaferro, Blue Mountain Quality Resources, Inc. This presentation will provide some insights into deciding when to integrate with a 3rd party calibration management solution and how workflow typically occurs between the two applications in an integrated solution. Paper 38 Maintenance Planning And Scheduling: Back To Basics by Vito DeMalteris, Senior Consultant, Enterprise Asset Management, IBM It appears that many maintenance organizations have drifted away from the basic planning and schedules principles in favor of either excessively elaborate efforts, or allowing the planning group to just “run on automatic” and hope for the best. This presentation will review some of the basic principles implemented by successful planning organizations. Paper 39 Business Applications For iPod Generations by Anders Lif, M. Sc. Global Director, IFS World Operations If we could improve user productivity of all IT systems by 10 percent, it would have a dramatic influence on the bottom line. But the traditional focus when designing IT applications has been on adding technology and functionality rather that improving user productivity. In this session, we take a look at the next generation of IT applications and the impact of designing systems for optimized employee efficiency. Human Computer Interaction research, Rich Internet Applications, new information controls and visualization, Web 2.0, seamless integration of free internet resources – all of these techniques are used when building business applications for the iPod generations. Why should we not use them to increase the usability and agility of our business applications?
