ABSTRACT
Asset Management: An Asset's Life Cycle Cost vs. Value
Whether you subscribe to a formal asset management approach such as ISO 55000 or not, every organization that depends on physical assets to make products or provide services is engaged in asset management. The critical focus of ISO 55000 or any asset management effort is to ensure that assets deliver their intended value for the organization.
The maintenance group is uniquely positioned to develop the prescription for the care of all physical assets and to safeguard the delivery of their value. ‘Unique' because it is the primary charter of most maintenance departments to guard the inherent reliability of capital assets. Actions taken to assure this reliability are what the ISO standard calls ‘control activities.'
What's missing from our calculus is an ability to define the stages of an asset's life cycle, and to make compelling arguments to alter or stick to the maintenance plan.
Missing until now.
Participants will learn:
-
-
- Overview of asset management and ISO 55000
- How ISO 55000 compliments Total Productive Maintenance
- Stages of an asset's life cycle
- Control activities during an asset's life
- When to replace or modify an asset − a cost vs. value determinant

ABSTRACT
Eliminating Future Failures Through PMO
The goal of any preventive maintenance program is to improve equipment reliability not only through targeted activities at set intervals, but to find and prevent future failures. But how do we know that we are doing the “right things” at the “right time”? Preventive Maintenance Optimization (PMO) is the process that one organization utilized and in a short time has started realizing improvements.
This presentation will discuss how the PMO process, learned during the MRM training series, was established and implemented through the following steps:
-
-
- Establish need for PMO initiative: current situation
- Develop PMO process: ownership, opportunities/targets, roadmap, timelines
- PMO review/approval process: corporate steering team, pass/fail criteria, attachments, visuals
- Tracking progress & reporting
- Auditing improved PM's and measuring success
-
Participants will learn:
-
-
- Establish a PMO process
- Identify PMO opportunities and targets (roadmap improvements)
- Establish who and how optimized PM's are reviewed
- Tracking progress and evaluate
- Next steps to ensure optimized PM's are performed

ABSTRACT
Building Your Maintenance Organization to Deliver Reliability
How hard is it to turn downtime into uptime with a new company? How deep is a hole? After being hired as a maintenance manager charged with improving asset reliability, Chuck Gaskins, realized he was facing an uphill battle. The current state was worrying. Supervisors planned jobs on the fly, the MRO crib is open stock, the CMMS is only used to house low quality PMs like “Check pump”, and downtime data is housed in excel spreadsheets. Where to start? What to do? Even with the MRM Diploma and CMRP certification under his belt the task was daunting. In this presentation Chuck will share the successes and learnings in address his company's reliability issues.
Participants will learn:
-
-
- To identify the gaps in the organization
- Building a plan to lay the foundation for reliability
- Communicating the need to upper management
- Gaining buy-in to change the culture of your team
- Training for success

CHUCK GASKINS
Senior Maintenance Manager, Plymouth Tube Corporation
Chuck was raised in construction but started my maintenance career around 1990 in metal stamping as a technician, which lead to developing the MRO crib, installing the first CMMS, and eventually facility manager. Chuck then moved to the food industry where he became a maintenance planner, maintenance coordinator, and finally corporate TPM & Reliability leader. Chuck was given the opportunity to attend NCSU/ Marshall Institute's M&RM course and earned his CMRP. He is currently serving as Sr. Maintenance Manager for Plymouth Tube Company with direct responsibility over our Hopkinsville, Kentucky maintenance and reliability program, and assisting other mills.
ABSTRACT
Reliability Foundations: Why Most People Stumble Out of the Starting Blocks and Never Recover
We often make change harder than it needs to be. Moving an organization from current state to a future vision is a challenging venture because it involves convincing an entire work group to willingly participate and commit to doing things differently, often times when they can't see that it is in their best interest to do so. Many failed or under-performing implementations occur due to ignoring or under-appreciating elements of implementation that are vital in winning the commitment of the workforce. Focusing effort toward advanced Maintenance and Reliability elements prior to having a solid foundation for change often results in a small group within the organization having to rely on mandating tasks and providing constant oversight to maintain the improvements. To get off to a great start, we must ensure that we give adequate consideration in the following areas:
-
-
- Reduction of waste and variation
- Take stuff off their plate before adding things to it
- Developing a Driving Force for Change
- Connecting the individual to the change effort
- Implementing and measuring basic, functional processes
- Making sure the basics are embedded before adding complexity
- Increased priority on maintenance scheduling
- Scheduling is more important than planning (in the beginning)
- Reduction of waste and variation
-
Let's discuss specifically why these basic elements are often glossed over and why doing so creates a compromised foundation for improvement.
Participants will learn:
-
-
- Why the first goal of improvement should be reducing variation and waste.
- Impactful tips on generating a motivated and committed workforce.
- Why process metrics may be more important that performance KPI during the initial stages of implementation.
- Why scheduling should be the first major goal and milestone of the improvement effort

ABSTRACT
Using Systems Thinking to Optimize Maintenance Performance
System. We hear and use the word all the time. "There's no sense in trying to buck the system," we might say. Or, "This job's getting out of control, I've got to establish a system." Whether you are aware of it or not, you are a member of many systems - a family, a community, a church, a company. You yourself are a complex biological system comprising many smaller systems. And every day, you probably interact with dozens of systems, such as the environment, the economy, the internet, the organization you work for, etc. But what exactly is a system? How would we know one if we saw one, and why is it important to understand systems? Most important, how can we manage maintenance more effectively by understanding systems?
This presentation discusses the importance of viewing the maintenance business and associated processes as a "system". The discussion will define what are the basic practices or processes in a maintenance organization and how they interact as a system to deliver value. It will also discuss how the processes, when interconnected in a system, deliver value and bottom-line results and ultimately prepare a foundation for implementing advanced practices and new ways of working.
Participants will learn:
-
-
- How systems thinking is different than traditional forms of analysis
- How system behaviors drive performance
- The key processes of an organization’s maintenance and reliability system
- The consequences of poor systems integration
- How to think from a systems perspective
- The benefits of good systems integration
