Costly and time consuming laboratory analysis of the condition of mineral and synthetic oils used in gearboxes, engines and bearing lubrication systems can now be avoided with the OilCheck TMEH 1. The hand-held TMEH 1 provides accurate feedback on oil condition in just two minutes. It detects mechanical wear and any loss of lubricating properties in the oil with a repeat accuracy less than 5%.

The TMEH 1 is a comparative instrument, which enables optimized intervals to be maintained between oil changes. It detects and measures the dielectric constant in a used oil sample, which is compared against results taken from an unused lubricant of the same type and brand.

The PopWare Maintenance Schedule provides an intuitive application to easily schedule all routine maintenance work orders and preventive maintenance tasks. The application works seamlessly with your SAP Plant Maintenance application to facilitate daily, weekly or even shutdown maintenance scheduling activities.

Open work can be easily downloaded from SAP PM and crews and individual employees can be graphically scheduled using a drag and drop paradigm. You can easily view availability of employees and adjust schedules to match employee availability.

Schedules can then be downloaded to handheld devices so that employees have easy access to their list of assigned work. Using the handheld application, they can close out work orders or tasks, record time or reasons for failure, capture relevant statistics and even create a new work request.

The PopWare Maintenance Scheduler eliminates the need for complex and difficult to use project scheduling applications to effectively manage your maintenance scheduling activities.

A 8-12 Week Distance Learning Course by Steve Thomas

Next course begins April 1!

Companies initiate change programs all of the time. Some succeed but many more fail to accomplish their stated goals. Previous failure can make future efforts even more difficult due the audience becoming skeptical.

Of all types of change, reliability focused efforts are perhaps the most difficult to initiate and conduct. These initiatives often meet significant resistance because there are always those who did well working in a reactive maintenance environment. Lukewarm support is often the most that can be expected from those changing to the new reliability based approach. How a manager manages the change will be the difference between success and failure.
This course teaches the basic skills required to break down the barriers encountered by reliability focused change efforts. The course includes:
• Making your vision of a reliability focused future understandable and accepted
• Achieving the vision by use of the Goal Achievement Model
• Building your Roadmap of Change
• Becoming a non-linear thinker using spiral learning
• Understanding the role of teams
• Overcoming resistance
• Measuring your opportunities for improvement with the Web of Change

In addition you will learn about the Eight Elements of Change – leadership, work process, structure, group learning, technology, communication, interrelationships and rewards. You may have worked with one or more of these in the past, but this course shows you how to view and work with them as a global set of critical change elements.

This course requires 2-3 hours of focus per week for assignments and includes instructor coaching from Steve Thomas.
