Implementing the PAS55 Asset Management Framework
Led by by Grahame Fogel Gaussian Engineering and Jack Dischner, P&RO Solutions
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

PAS55 is a specification for the management of physical assets (their selection, maintenance, inspection and renewal).  The management of physical assets plays a key role in determining the operational performance and profitability of industries that operate assets as part of their core business.

Asset Management is the art and science of making the right decisions and optimizing these processes. A common objective is to minimize the whole life cost of assets but there may be other critical factors such as risk or business continuity to be considered objectively in this decision making.

This emerging professional discipline deals with the optimal management of physical asset systems and their life cycles. It represents a cross-disciplinary collaboration to achieve best net, sustained value-for-money in the selection, design/ acquisition, operations, maintenance and renewal/ disposal of physical infrastructure and equipment.

BSI PAS55:2008 comprises:

• Definition of terms in asset management.
• Requirements specification for good practice
• Guidance for the implementation of such good practice.

PAS 55 provides objectivity across 28 aspects of good asset management, from lifecycle strategy to everyday maintenance (cost/risk/performance). It enables the integration of all aspects of the asset lifecycle: from the first recognition of a need to design, acquisition, construction, commissioning, utilization or operation, maintenance, renewal, modification and/or ultimate disposal

PAS 55 also provides a common language for cross functional discussion and provides the framework for understanding how individual parts fit together, and how the many mutual interdependencies can be handled and optimized

In the course of the workshop, we will cover from the philosophy and strategic statements through the implementation and management of the major components of reliability optimization, knowledge management, risk assessment and evaluation and full ongoing formulas for success and continuous improvement not just a one-time implementation . Processes, procedures, accountability and key roles will be thoroughly discussed as well as ideas and proven concepts for optimized implementation , benefit and maximum return on investment from asset management utilizing the PAS-55 framework.

Successfully Implementing Total Productive Maintenance
Led by Terry Wireman, CPMM, CMRP, Author, Total Productive Maintenance
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

TPM, or Total Productive Maintenance, combines the strategies of equipment maintenance and reliability with the concepts of Lean, Total Quality Management, and Total Employee Involvement. The result is an innovative approach to management of a company’s assets. The TPM concept optimizes asset utilization, eliminates equipment breakdowns, and promotes complete organization involvement in equipment/ asset management. The approach concentrates on a common sense method of maximizing the return on investment for a company's equipment/ asset.

TPM is a deceptively simple, yet revolutionary concept that will allow companies to compete in the next decade. The activities developed in a TPM organization will enable all employees to be involved in making their company’s future secure.

TPM is a process that delegates responsibility for the day-to-day condition of the equipment to the employees who can have the greatest impact on it: operators and maintenance technicians. TPM relies on “natural work groups,” “equipment teams,” or “process teams” to improve equipment effectiveness.

In a Lean environment, machine reliability is critical. Unexpected break¬downs or production interruptions cannot be tolerated. TPM accomplishes this by focusing on small group activities, participative activities, total employee involvement, and a fanatical dedication to quality. This workshop includes:

• Various case studies that show how to explain the value of OEE to everyone in the organization, from the senior executive to the shop floor personnel.

• OEE discussions showing how to “dollarize” results and present the financial terms to executive financial personnel.

• A clarification of the goals and objectives of TPM, allowing TPM Champions to clearly present a TPM business case to their organizations.

• Explanations of the pitfalls that may be encountered during TPM implementation and how to avoid or correct these problems.

The workshop is based on the best selling book “Total Productive Maintenance – 2nd Edition” and a complete workshop manual will be provided.

Practical Plant Failure Analysis: Understanding Machinery Deterioration and Improving Equipment Reliability
Led by Neville Sachs. Author, Practical Plant Failure Analysis
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

Directed at a technical and supervisory level, practical instruction about how machinery operates and how to diagnose the causes of machinery failures. Using hands-on examples, the class will learn how to recognize the physical causes of common shaft, fastener, etc. failures. The class will also include a workshop where the students work together to solve the physical causes of a variety of failures. The students are also urged to bring along examples that they would like to class to analyze.

• The roots of failures – discussing the difference between physical, human, and management system (latent) failure roots. How they relate and how failures almost always result from multiple causes.
• Failure mechanisms – an overview of the basics of materials and the difference between overload and fatigue as failure mechanisms. The effects of stress concentrations and residual stresses.
• Fracture Identification – Looking at failure faces to identify the causes.

PC6 Bearing Failure Analysis Workshop
Led by Jason Tranter of Mobius Institute
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

Part 1: Detecting and Reducing Bearing Defects

Topics include:

• Early detection of rolling element bearing defects
• Reduction of bearing defects
• High-frequency detection methods are used to detect the first stage of the bearing defect
• How vibration analysis can be used to track the degradation of the condition until ultimate failure
• Why many vibration programs fail to successfully utilize vibration analysis to detect rolling element bearing defects

Part 2: Early Detection of Lubrication Problems and Stage One Bearing Faults

In part two of this workshop we will focus on the vibration monitoring techniques that focus on the earliest stage of bearing faults and poor lubrication. Certain analyzers and hand-held meters are able to detect faults at this early stage; if they are used correctly. We will demonstrate that during stage one, very low amplitude, short duration, high frequency vibration is generated. This vibration is known as called ‘stress waves’ or ‘shock pulses’. With the correct testing strategy these conditions can be detected. The nature of the damage and vibration will be discussed, and the optimum testing strategy will be discussed. Techniques such as acoustic emission (airborne ultrasound), shock pulse, spike energy and PeakVue will be reviewed.

Part 3: Understanding Demodulation/Enveloping, Spike Energy and PeakVue Methods, and Stage Two Bearing Faults

In part three of the Bearing Analysis Workshop we will focus on the demodulation and enveloping techniques and the Spike Energy and PeakVue methods. We will discuss how the method works, why they are effective in detection bearing faults, and how to choose the settings in your analyzer to ensure that you get the best results. We will also review how the same methods can be used to detect gear damage, looseness and other fault conditions. All analyzers from the major vendors offer at least one of these methods, however they are often not understood and not used correctly (or at all).

Reliability Centered Lubrication
Led by Matt Spurlock, Lubrication Practice Leader, Allied Reliability
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

In today’s challenging economic climate, industries are looking for every way possible to optimize expenses and reduce unnecessary spending. With maintenance budgets tight, it is imperative that every step be taken to achieve the highest level of reliability from facility equipment.

Poor lubrication and external contamination has been identified as one of the primary causes of equipment failure. This is often related to poor lubrication practices that have been handed down from the various lube techs over the history of a facility’s existence. These poor practices are in place due to not only a lack of training but also the absence of any rationalized program designed in accordance to best practices.

Reliability Centered Lubrication is a process used to determine the lubrication and contamination control requirements of any physical asset in its operating context allowing for means of condition monitoring thus having the ability to impact the overall asset health of the lubricated component.

What You Will Learn:

• Maintenance Strategies as they relate to lubrication

• Lubrication Theory/Fundamentals

• Lubricant Storage and Management

• Lubricant Contamination Measurement and Control

• Oil Sampling

• Fundamentals of the Current State Analysis

• Equipment data requirements for lubrication specifications

• Lubrication Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Common barriers to implementation and how to get buy-in from all levels

Maintenance Managers, Supervisors, and Technicians, Reliability and Maintenance Engineers, Production Managers, Supervisors, and Operators, Plant Engineers, and others involved in operating and maintaining of assets should consider attending.

Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices
Led by Ramesh Gulati, Author, Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices
9:00 am - 12:30

To manufacture quality products or provide services at competitive prices is essential to survive in today’s business climate. We are forced to look for better ways of doing things on continual basis. To meet customer’s needs – on their schedule – requires (high) availability and reliability of equipment and systems when they are needed. But it is not as simple as putting something into effect. To truly realize a best practice requires learning, re-learning, benchmarking and implementing better ways of ensuring high reliability and availability of equipment and systems.

Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices is designed to support that learning process. Delivered in an easy-to-understand format, each topic discusses the concepts with specific questions and answers. Each topic answers the what, why or how of the topic being presented. Understanding and implementing Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices in a cost-effective way is essential.

This is a high level overview of important topics based on a multi-day detailed workshop series developed by Mr. Gulati.

• Introducing Best Practices
• Culture and Leadership
• Understanding Maintenance
• Work Management: Planning and Scheduling
• Measuring and Designing for Reliability and Maintainability
• The Role of Operations

Developing Operator Care: Lessons Learned
Led by by Mike Gehloff, GPAllied
9:00 am - 12:30

This highly interactive workshop is designed to dissolve much of the mystery and difficulty found when trying to implement an Operator Care program. The facilitator, Mike Gehloff, will present the attendees with the lessons he has learned over years of implementation of Operator Care programs, and most importantly, some simple tricks that will help the attendees overcome the obstacles he has experienced in the past.

Key Elements of the Operator Care Program that be presented include:

· Messaging – What are the benefits of the program? What are the common concerns? How do we build a coalition?

· Engagement – How do we engage the operators such that this is their program? They develop and own it vs. it being thrust upon them.

· Education – What do the operators need to know now, and how can we deliver more detailed training in a continuous improvement model?

· Quantitative Inspections - How can we avoid the trap of the “Check the Gearbox” inspection? What does it mean to be quantitative?

· Reporting Abnormalities – How do we leverage a tagging system and an operator care board to drive communication?

· Process Audits – If we build it they will come is a lie. How doe we leverage process audits to drive continued future success?

This workshop is intended to provide the attendees with an opportunity to leverage what they have learned immediately. As the workshop progresses and the operator care story unfolds, participants will be lead through a continual exercise to explore those factors working for and against them as they attempt to implement what they have learned. They will also develop a set of actions that they can immediately take back to work and start the implementation of their own Operator Care program.

A final wrap up discussion will be held with common problems and solution approaches being developed. The group will be given and opportunity to network with their peers who are struggling with similar issues and develop a support network to enhance their chances of success.

This workshop is designed specifically for those personnel responsible for establishing or improving the operator care program within their organization, and each attendee will leave the workshop with an actionable plan to execute these improvements.

Lean Strategy Planning and Policy Deployment
Led by Michael Kuta, Managing Partner of Productivity Inc.
9:00 am - 12:30

A Lean strategy accompanied by a focused deployment process presents Lean as a true "management system", not just a series of improvement tools. When organizations apply the Lean tools absent a well thought-out deployment process, they find their efforts fall short of desired outcomes -- because absent of a planned systemic approach there will be no employee ownership and no enterprise-wide improvement, and even the best Lean strategy will become just another failed management program with scattered pockets of excellence. And, watch out for those pockets of excellence! Discretely measured pockets of excellence will have the appearance of a successful Lean implementation. But it is highly likely that these pockets will not deal with the critical or target value streams, and soon it will be discovered that inefficiencies have off-set the gains and the Lean improvement has had virtually no effect on the improvement of the overall business.

In this session, we will detail the need for enterprise-wide waste elimination and demonstrate a systemic approach to get everyone in the enterprise involved in the process. Guided by a Lean Business Case participants will explore the discipline of corporate diagnosis, strategy deployment, standard work, cause and effect, and how to align corporate objectives/initiatives with day-to-day workplace activities. We'll look at implementation roadmaps and application of the Lean process improvement tool kit.

Participants will learn:

1. a systematic approach to corporate diagnosis and the development of a Lean improvement plan

2. the key principles of Lean strategy deployment

3. a step-by-step methodology to assess an organizations 9 keys to development and status of organizational learning

4. a proven process for gaining employee buy-in to your enterprise-wide improvement initiatives

Balancing Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
by Carey Repasz and John Trulli, Allied Reliability

Performing the right inspection to detect and control failure modes is paramount to designing an effective maintenance strategy. The proper balance of PM and PdM tasks will ensure early defect identification and generate the necessary proactive workflow. This in turn will enable effective planning and scheduling processes, defect elimination and improve plant performance as a result of increase equipment reliability.

In order to have an effective equipment maintenance strategy, the inspections must be targeted to the specific type of failure mode that the methodology is capable, or the strategy will not drive the expected results. This is particularly important as maintenance managers and reliability engineers are tasked with designing the appropriate strategy that will be the most efficient use of resources as well as have the greatest impact to the reliable operation of plant equipment.

In this workshop, attendees will learn the following concepts:

Common Sense Maintenance Strategy Development
Led by Steve Turner, Director, OMCS International (Australia)
1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

The activity of defining and reviewing a maintenance program is one that is generally very poorly done. Not surprisingly, done properly, this process alone can be the most effective means of generating company profits through greater output from the same assets. It is a fact that no amount of clever planning and scheduling can account for a low value-adding maintenance program. In reality completing 100% of a poor program can drive a company backwards particularly if it contains the wrong type of maintenance.

The problems usually start in the design or acquisition phase where the definition or consideration of maintenance programs is poorly funded. Equipment is often delivered and commissioned without a formal maintenance program at all. In some cases one is provided, but it has been done in an inappropriate fashion and is worthless. During the following years of operation, the maintenance program develops. This often happens in an "ad hoc" manner and results in a program that lacks focus and is inefficient. Without some means of reviewing this situation, organizations can find themselves uncompetitive either because maintenance costs are too high, or the plant is unreliable.

The review of maintenance programs and failure history is an activity that most organizations undertake and no doubt have undertaken since formal maintenance was first performed. Some organizations do this continuously whilst others do so in large chunks as needs arise. Unfortunately, some organizations do not perform any reviews whatsoever. The problems of most attempts at review are that the review is done in an informal manner with little or no set procedure and an absence of useful decision logic.

Until now, the only accepted means of defining a maintenance program was to use RCM. However, there is now a realization that RCM is a tool designed for use in the design phase of the equipment life cycle (Ref RCM II Moubray 1997 2nd edition page 19) and not for use where equipment is already in use. PM Optimization is specifically designed for reviewing maintenance programs and failure history for equipment that is in use and has a formal or informal system of maintenance albeit misdirected. For this reason Optimization is also very effective at defining the initial maintenance program for new equipment where similar equipment is in use somewhere.

Topics in this workshop include:

• Fundamentals of PM Optimization
• Understanding the vicious cycle of reactive maintenance
• Stabilizing the business by finding the right PM and getting it done on time
• Growing reliability through understanding asset capability
• PMO and Reliability Software systems that integrate with CMMS / EAM.
• Case studies

Led by Paul Casto, Meridium
1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Participants in this workshop will learn how to document and report value creation through maintenance and reliability and how to build the Maintenance and Reliability business case.

This will include an introduction to the fundamentals of finance and financial reporting and how the Maintenance and Reliability function can create value that shows up on the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Where to find value, how to measure value, the magnitude of the potential value and how to capture this value will be covered. An overview on how tools such as lean, six sigma and TOC can be applied to Maintenance and Reliability to create and capture value is included.

The workshop material will encompass proven approaches and the use of these tools will be illustrated through case studies and a review of actual project results.

The Use and Abuse of OEE
Led by Malcolm Jones, Director, Productivity Europe Ltd
1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the performance measure introduced during the development of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) in the 1970's. It is now being used as a Key Performance Indicator in many industries, but is often misunderstood and misused. This workshop explores the use and abuse of OEE and will show how to use OEE as part of an improvement process, not just a KPI.

Topics covered include:

• What OEE tells you and what it doesn't
• How to calculate OEE correctly
• The myth of 85% = World Class
• OEE and loss analysis
• Loss Analysis and Countermeasures
• OEE and DMAIC
• How to spot when OEE is being manipulated

The workshop will include an extended case study exercise and group reflections on OEE data collection and analysis. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants should have a clear understanding of what OEE is and what it isn't, and when to use OEE and when not to.

The workshop will be led my Malcolm Jones of Productivity Europe, an affiliate of Productivity Inc, USA. Malcolm has worked in the field of TPM and Lean for over 20 years and has assisted companies such as Unilever, United Distillers and Duracell in developing their TPM programs. He is currently developing a Lean program with an equipment manufacturer in Eastern Europe and Asia, and coaching Green and Black Belts in a Lean Six Sigma program for a pharmaceutical company in the UK and Ireland.

Don't just fix it, improve it - a HIGHLY interactive workshop
Led by Winston Ledet Co-Author of Don't just fix it, improve it, Journey to the Precision Domain and and Michelle Ledet, The Manufacturing Game^®
1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Over the past several years the team at the Manufacturing Game have been active supporter and participants in both the Power Networking and Reliability Coaching session held at various Reliabilityweb.com conferences. Their sessions are often the highest rated from attendees who find the outcomes and advice to be easy to understand and within grasp to put into action. They are also expert at engaging simulations and story telling to ensure effective transfer of strategic knowledge.

There will be a presentation for each of the roles typically found in most manufacturing or process plants based on the powerful concepts expressed in "Don’t Just Fix it - Improve It: The Journey To The Precision Domain" book co-authored by Winston Ledet. Following the presentation, each attendee will be involved in exercises that amplify the participants own experience.

As so effectively stated by Steve Beamer, VP for Peabody Energy after reading Don’t Just Fix it - Improve It: The Journey To The Precision Domain, "the really good performers eliminate the defects before they ever turn into work orders. Small problems are seldom left to turn into big failures and big problems rarely happen. Winston hits the nail on the head when he demonstrates through the story that improvement efforts which just focus on driving the right maintenance work practices bog the organization down with too much work and seldom succeed. Only after building in the "defect elimination" culture and reducing the defects coming into the system can the organization achieve the best practice benchmarks. The small problems don't clog the CMMS system and the work processes can focus on the big things. Small problems get taken care of immediately at the source."

In the highly interactive "Don't just fix it, improve it" workshop participants will sit at themed tables including "The role of leadership", "The role of the CMMS", "The role of operations", "The role of maintenance," etc.

Reliability Centered Maintenance Or Root Cause Analysis - Chicken Or The Egg?
Led by Mick Drew,Managing Director, ARMS Reliability
1:30 pm - 5:00 pm

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.
