By What Method?
We all want to make
maintenance improvements but do you know what that means? Most of us use
“best efforts” to make our companies better but as quality and reliability
Guru W. Edward Deming states “best efforts without knowledge is just
best efforts”.
By what method do you
plan to make those improvements?
Participate in the
International Maintenance Conference and you will gain knowledge
about methods you can put to immediate use. You will discover new
strategies, new theories, new techniques and new technologies to realize the
potential of your workforce and your physical assets.

The Legendary Conference
Continues
The International
Maintenance Conference is now in its 23rd year, making it the
longest running maintenance focused conference in the world. While other
events make claims that they are “the biggest” we wonder why they think that
equates to “better”, especially for you – the attendee. It is a fact that
we plan and schedule the International Maintenance Conference for a specific
number of attendees and exhibitors to ensure the best conference learning
and networking experience possible. Once those numbers are met – we close
registration – resulting in conference sell-outs for the past several
years. There is a reason why over 60% of past attendees repeat in future
years.
Many conferences provide
information – IMC-2008 selects papers and speakers who provide
knowledge based on 14 points adapted from and inspired by Dr. W.
Edwards Deming!
1) Align
the aim of maintenance with the greater aims of the company or organization
and make sure everyone understands and supports that aim
2) Adopt
a new philosophy of proactive reliability and teach it to your employees,
suppliers and customers
3) Cease
dependence on reactive and time based maintenance
4) End
the practice of “low bid” purchasing and use total life cycle cost to
calculate value. Move to single suppliers for key purchases of products
and services
5) Improve
constantly the system of maintenance, planning, scheduling and any other
activity. This will improve reliability and productivity will also decrease
cost
6) Institute
skills training
7) Adopt
and institute leadership for the management of people, recognizing their
different abilities, capabilities, and aspiration. The aim of leadership
should be to help people, machines, and gadgets do a better job.
8) Create
a trust-based work environment to foster effective contribution from
everyone
9) Tear
down virtual walls between maintenance and operation, maintenance and
purchasing and maintenance and management. The entire company is one system
and must work as a team to accomplish the aim of the system
10) Eliminate
the “program of the day” for maintenance improvements and tear down posters
with catchy slogans that do not match what actually happens on the plant
floor
11) Eliminate
management by Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Use them to gain knowledge
but substitute leadership for management by numbers
12) Allow
people to enjoy their work and take pride in workmanship
13) Institute
a vigorous program of training and self- improvement
14) Put
everyone in charge of change – it is everyone’s job
