Bonus Workshops March 23 BWS1 Reliability Centered Maintenance Or Root Cause Analysis - Chicken Or The Egg? by Mick Drew, ARMS Reliability Engineers The chicken or the egg causality dilemma arises from the expression “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Chickens hatch from eggs, but eggs are laid by chickens, making it difficult to say which originally gave rise to the other. To ancient philosophers, the question about the first chicken or egg also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began. In today’s engineering world, we are faced with an ever increasing amount of solutions surrounding maintenance improvement. All these solutions are offering maximum return on investment for the shareholders, with significant reductions in downtime, increase in production output, less accidents, all of which are very attractive to any business. Two solutions on offer are the use of Reliability Centered Maintenance and Root Cause Analysis – but which comes first? Should we put all our eggs in one basket and focus on one solution or spread the eggs across two baskets and implement the outputs from both? In this workshop we look at how RCM and RCA are actually complementary of one another and how they both work towards the elimination of undesirable events through a proactive approach to maintenance. BWS2 Introduction To RCM Blitz by Doug Plucknette, Allied Reliability In 1978, Stand Nowlan and Howard Heap created Reliability Centered Maintenance as a process to develop a complete maintenance strategy for commercial aircraft and the success of their methodology changed how both maintenance and reliability were viewed in this industry. In 1997, using the original Nowlan and Heap RCM model, RCM Blitz was created to develop a complete maintenance strategy for manufacturing equipment and in the last ten years companies around the world are now using a methodology specifically designed to deliver reliability for manufacturing assets. RCM Blitz offers a Reliability Centered Maintenance approach that reduces the time and resources required for Analysis. Attend this workshop to: • Learn how to 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 • How to improve manufacturing and equipment reliability • Reduce maintenance costs • Reduce unit cost of finished products March 24 BWS6 Advancing Reliability & Maintenance To Meet And Beat Global Competition by Jack R. Nicholas, Jr., P.E., CMRP Co-author: Advancing Reliability & Maintenance This workshop provides an understanding of the basics that all organizations should routinely practice in order to be successful in reaping the benefits of cost reduction, avoidance and/or bottom line profit increases from one of the last frontiers for improvement in any manufacturing or service organization. Subjects covered include: • Human Error in Reliability and Maintenance (R & M) - What to Do About It • Eleven Basic Rules to Attain R & M Excellence RCM/EAM/MTrain Conferences | Reliability2.0™ | Join the Conversation
