High equipment reliability is essential to competing in the global marketplace. Unfortunately, many manufacturing plants struggle with aging and unreliable equipment, over-worked operators and maintenance techs and lack of implementation know-how.

Studies show that planned maintenance is only 25% the cost of reactive maintenance, and requires a smaller staff. In addition, higher reliability boosts throughput, frees up hidden plant capacity and improves material flow.This workshop is designed to help you transition from reactive to planned maintenance in quickly and cost-effectively.

In this workshop, we'll discuss a powerful approach to maintaining high levels of asset availability and efficiency. The objectives of Zero Breakdowns, Zero Accidents and Zero Defects are a powerful way of mobilizing the entire organization around common goals and building the skills and knowledge to operate and maintain equipment more effectively.

The key to high reliability success is a sound, practical implementation strategy that involves the entire organization.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) can be a powerful tool in advancing productivity, but less than 5% or plants achieve significant success after 3 years. Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) utilizes research from the aerospace industry but has proven difficult to implement across other manufacturing sectors. In this workshop, we'll combine best practices from the areas of TPM and RCM into a practical, rapid approach to improving reliability.

Some of the results of achieving world-class reliability include:

  • 36% reduction in overall maintenance costs within 3 years
  • 69% increase in plant capacity without adding people or equipment
  • 77% reduction in quality defects within 9 months
  • 20% improvement in customer service levels within 6 months
  • 91% reduction in employee lost-time cases within 2 years

This two-day workshop is packed with practical tips, techniques and case examples to help you get the most out of your equipment while developing the skills, confidence and pride of your people.
