Myths and Pitfalls of Planning & Scheduling – CONNECT Conversations

We’ll be reviewing the various pitfalls and myths associated with effectively installing a CMMS. For example, if the total number of defects coming into the process on a daily basis overwhelm your ability to effectively plan and schedule, the system will fail. We’ll review the importance of defect elimination, especially upstream of maintenance in operations and design, the importance of have a proper PM program, a proper condition monitoring program, the importance of integrating the production plan and the maintenance plan into a single plan, among other issues...

The Benefits of Quantifiable Measures in Reliability Strategy Execution

Being able to take the next step in executing a reliability strategy often entails quantifying the value of taking on the effort. Often, there are subjective measures assigned, such as internal or external audit criteria, and some score that comes because of these audits. Where the rubber really hits the road is when we can connect the dots between what we are trying to accomplish and some clear and measurable source of value...
