Maintenance and Reliability Technology Summit 2008 - Workshops
Doubling Your Maintenance ROI: Building a Constraint Management-Based Process – Part 1
Ed Stanek, LAI Reliability Systems, Inc.
Ed Stanek offers a foundational approach that maximizes each labor hour when maintenance is left with fewer resources. Through an action-packed constraint management game, you'll compete with other attendees for resources and learn how to deal with constraints in your own plant. Part 2 is presented Thursday.
Total Productive and Lean Maintenance
Bob Williamson, Strategic Work Systems, Inc.
Bob Williamson helps participants understand the basics of Lean manufacturing, Lean equipment management, and the roots of Lean Maintenance found in the frequently misunderstood Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Participants will also learn how to create and lead an equipment reliability vision that will guarantee success.
Reliability Centered Maintenance
Mac Smith, AMS Associates
Mac Smith guides you through the concepts and fundamentals of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) in this full-day workshop. Drawing on his extensive experience, Smith builds on the RCM model with practical, how-to knowledge that will enable you to use RCM in your own maintenance operations.
Lubrication Fundamentals for Industry
Ken Bannister, EngTech Industries, Inc.
Ken Bannister provides more lubrication information in one day than most people learn in a lifetime. Lubrication
is the key to most maintenance programs, yet it is the least understood. This workshop will dispel the myths and arm you with the understanding required to implement an effective lubrication program.
Insider Secrets for Taking Command of Your CMMS
Kim Pease, Nobreakdowns, A 20/20 Foresight Company
Kim Pease leads an exciting one-day workshop focused on tips and techniques for making your CMMS shine. If you have been frustrated with troublesome weaknesses in your system, you will value these refreshing tricks of the trade shared by an expert who has worked with many different systems. Each participant will also receive complimentary access to Nobreakdowns.com's online CMMS Assessment Tool, which will offer additional feedback and suggestions for optimizing your system.
Fundamentals of Mechanical Seals
Co-sponsored by the Fluid Sealing Association (FSA) and the Hydraulic Institute (HI)
Led by instructors from member companies of the FSA, this basic, yet comprehensive overview is crucial for ANYONE involved with the selection procurement, operation or maintenance of equipment that utilizes mechanical
seals. That means new engineers to operators to maintenance personnel. A number of important issues will be covered, including: mechanical seal designs & arrangements; operating principles & application
limits; seal chamber design & pressures; installation; environmental controls & piping plans; life cycle costing of mechanical seals & sealing systems; and TROUBLESHOOTING. Each attendee receives a free copy of the 300-page HI/FSA reference book Mechanical Seals for Pumps: Application Guidelines (a $195 value).
Doubling Your Maintenance ROI: Building a Constraint Management-Based Process Part 2

Ed Stanek offers a foundational approach that maximizes each labor hour when maintenance is left with fewer resources. Through an action-packed constraint management game, you'll compete with other attendees for resources and learn how to deal with constraints in your own plant. Part 1 is presented Monday.
Asset Management
Bob Williamson, Strategic Work Systems, Inc.
Bob Williamson highlights the equipment "problem elimination" practices of total productive
maintenance (TPM) by demonstrating the measurable results in world-class maintenance
and reliability as well as NASCAR racing. Participants will examine actual case studies and learn how to apply six key principles for developing Lean machines in their facilities.
Cause Mapping
Mark Galley, ThinkReliability
Mark Galley shows you how to use this visual-thinking system for analyzing, documenting,
communicating, and solving complex problems in your department or plant. Cause Mapping uses the fundamental principles of systems thinking to identify the basic cause-and-effect relationships of any problem. Attendees will practice the basic techniques.
IR Thermography for Electrical and Mechanical Systems
Jim Seffrin, Infraspection Institute
Jim Seffrin provides an introduction to thermography; proper selection and use of test equipment; diagnosing and prioritizing electrical and mechanical exceptions; safety during inspections; and current industry standards. Although modern infrared test equipment has become more user friendly, proper conduct of an infrared inspection remains dependent upon the skills of the thermographer. This basic course is considered a must for thermographers
and facility managers seeking to initiate or expand their condition-based maintenance (CBM) or predictive maintenance (PdM) programs.
Lubrication for Profit: The Impact of Lube Selection and Application on Process Machinery*
Ray Thibault
Ray Thibault leads this high-intensity post-conference session that will (1) make you less dependent
on your lube vendor/supplier and (2) help you understand the little-known reasons for elusive bearing failures in process machinery. A series of concentrated presentations will establish how lubricants and often-inferior lube application methods relate to the long-term profitability requirements of a host of machine categories.
Session participants will receive a course notebook and CD with hundreds of reference slides. These exclusive take-home resources make this workshop a special value.*
*Special cost for this one-day course of $445 includes all materials and lunch.
