How to Implement Reliability Centered Maintenance at Your Facility
John
S. Mitchell
RCM
is emerging as the latest “silver bullet” solution to an optimum maintenance program. Many organizations have and are
expending vast amounts of time and money
implementing RCM to gain assurance that
their systems and equipment have maximum
production availability. Some of these
same companies do not experience the
vast improvement that may have been expected
although it is not unusual to hear comments
that the requirements and discipline
necessary to implement RCM have positive
benefits in other areas. In this session
you’ll learn how to assure that the time and resources you expend on RCM gain maximum
value.

Managing
Electrical Reliability through CBM
Roy Huff, Snell Thermal Inspections
Is calling your local thermographer for your
annual electrical survey considered a predictive
maintenance program at your plant? If it is
you may be missing the opportunity to achieve
Electrical Asset Reliability through condition
based monitoring. Here are just a few of the
questions you should be asking yourself: Am
I inspecting the right equipment at the correct
frequency? Is my thermographer qualified and
is he providing useful recommendations in a
quality report? What other technologies should
I be incorporating in my program? Electrical
Ultrasound? Motor Circuit Analysis? Power Quality?
Are the testing results being integrated between
these technologies? Answers to these questions
will be discussed during this session.

Managing
Mechanical Reliability through Condition
Based Maintenance
Chris
Klosterman, Allied Services Group
This
session begins with a brief discussion
of different maintenance philosophies and
methods, including use of Reliability-centered
Maintenance (RCM) practices, to develop
an asset health matrix. This matrix is
the basis for further determining how and
where each maintenance strategy is appropriately
applied. Each of the primary condition
monitoring/PdM technologies in use today
will be discussed, including the benefits
and applications of each: visual Inspection
and monitoring, vibration detection and
analysis, oil analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasonics, performance monitoring, and motor analysis techniques.

Selecting and Optimizing Maintenance Management Software
Adam Davis, Noria Corporation
Whether you are looking at optimizing an existing CMMS installation, or considering purchasing an analytical tool, or a software package to manage a specific technology such as lubrication, vibration, oil analysis or ultrasound, in this session you’ll learn how to evaluate software in the context of the processes you wish to support. The presenter will examine how to determine the optimal boundaries of responsibility between the various software packages at your plant, rather than trying to offer yet another opinion of the ideal scenario for all plants. You’ll learn how to take control of your software and watch your productivity rise with less effort.

Materials Management – It’s Half the Battle
Dennis Belanger, MRG , Inc.
In many maintenance organizations, 50% of the annual maintenance budget is spent on material and spare parts … not to mention that a significant amount of time is “spent” acquiring these spare parts. It’s often a significant percentage of a plant’s total operating costs. Strangely enough, many of these organizations have almost no control of their materials. One part of the organization feels there is too much inventory and the other part thinks there isn’t enough. Why do these problems exist? What can be done about them? How do you match the demand for parts with the supply?
This presentation will take a humorous but serious look at the issues associated with material management for a maintenance organization. It will uncover the hidden inefficiencies of poor material management that occur thousands of time a day and their costs, presenting ideas and solutions to improve these poor practices.

Bill of Materials – A Maintenance Inventory Savings Model
Tim White, MRG Inc.
MRG has performed hundreds of plant assessments in a wide range of industries, including Chemical Processing, Heavy Metals, Pharmaceuticals, Power Generation and a wide variety of Light Manufacturing. During the course of these assessments, MRG came to the conclusion that accurate Bill of Materials for plant equipment are a consistently missing maintenance best practice. Only a handful of plants visited by MRG have complete Bill of Materials available, which incorporated the majority of the spare parts in their MRO inventory. Not surprisingly, these plants are also considered pacesetters in their respective industries. The focus of this session is on the differentiators that separate these few pacesetters from their competitors.

| Improve your Maintenance Management Skills with RCM
Douglas Plucknette and Terry Harris
As a maintenance manager you are called upon to be organized and accountable for your actions. Your career and success depends on how well you eliminate problems and improve the uptime of your assigned operations. Is there a way to accomplish this in a systematic method?
This session will look at how RCM can help you reduce downtime and improve process functionality. Learn RCM terminology and how it can be incorporated into your daily routine and way of life. RCM can be used for equipment and process design to prevent failures before they occur. RCM methods can set your lubrication requirements, determine your water and steam system reliability. It’s an all inclusive method to determine all failure modes and how to eliminate them.
Your future success depends on weather you use and understand these methods.

Effective Data Collection for Thorough Failure Analysis
Tex Leugner, Maintenance Technology International
In order to remain competitive, the goals of industrial plant facilities must include high levels of machine reliability, in order to reduce downtime, extend equipment life, reduce repair costs, improve equipment efficiency, reduce capital costs, increase productivity and maintain employee morale and satisfaction.
Maximum equipment and process reliability cannot be achieved or maintained if the plant is continually subjected to breakdowns, inadequate or incorrect repair procedures, or recurring failures.
This session will outline the eight primary causes of poor reliability and will present processes by which the combined use of analytical trouble shooting and thorough failure analysis can prevent or eliminate breakdowns and failures which cause poor machine reliability.
