Keynote: Your Inner Success Mechanism
Keynote
Reedy hall 1&2

Bring your goals alive by discovering what it is and how to operate it.

We have more in common with our machines than we may realize.  Achieving equipment Reliability goals is important because our assets play an essential role in the success of our organizations.  When we don’t properly maintain our assets, performance degrades and we may find ourselves in Reactive Mode, rushing around putting out this fire and then putting out that fire.  The same thing can happen to us, if we don’t effectively manage our Human Reliability.  If you have a goal that you are really passionate about, but perhaps haven’t acted on yet because you are bogged down – bogged down dealing with Life’s challenges – know that you can achieve your Heart’s Desire because you were born with an Inner Success Mechanism.  Join Nancy as she shares the “operator’s manual” to your Inner Success Mechanism.  Once you discover what it is and how to operate it, you can bring your goals alive!

Debunking the Common Misconceptions about Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Educational Session
Reedy hall 2

This presentation demystifies the common misconceptions about Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM).  These misunderstandings stem from seven key misconceptions of the RCM process:  1. RCM seeks to analyze every Failure Mode; 2. RCM is too time and resource intensive; 3. RCM only produces a maintenance plan; 4. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is not included in RCM; 5. The consideration of  Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is a separate process; 6. RCM should be applied to all assets; 7. RCM has serious weaknesses in an industrial environment.  This presentation debunks each of the seven misconceptions.  Nancy Regan guides attendees as they discover just how robust, powerful, and uncomplicated the RCM process really is.

Path to Maintenance Excellence and World Class Maintenance
Customer Case

It is estimated that only 3 in 1000 maintenance departments striving for World Class Maintenance are successful. Maintenance excellence includes improving processes in 9 core maintenance systems and knowing how to prioritize what to work on first is critical to success. In this session we will discuss two critical prerequisites and highlight some of the best practices in the 9 core systems. Then we will walk through a process of understanding how each system impacts the others to start prioritizing. For Example, Dynaway Asset Management affects 7 of the 9 core systems. The session will end with a review of a gap analysis tool that generates a reliability score that can be used to track and trend progress and prioritize continuous improvement efforts in your long-term strategy.
