By What Method?

We all want to make maintenance improvements but do you know what that means?  Most of us use “best efforts” to make our companies better but as quality and reliability Guru W. Edward Deming states “best efforts without knowledge is just best efforts”.

By what method do you plan to make those improvements? 

Participate in the International Maintenance Conference and you will gain knowledge about methods you can put to immediate use.  You will discover new strategies, new theories, new techniques and new technologies to realize the potential of your workforce and your physical assets.

The Legendary Conference Continues

The International Maintenance Conference is now in its 22nd year, making it the longest running maintenance focused conference in the world.  While other events make claims that they are “the biggest” we wonder why they think that equates to “better”, especially for you – the attendee.  It is a fact that we plan and schedule the International Maintenance Conference for a specific number of attendees and exhibitors to ensure the best conference learning and networking experience possible.  Once those numbers are met – we close registration – resulting in conference sell-outs for the past several years.  There is a reason why over 60% of past attendees repeat in future years.

Many conferences provide information – IMC-2007 selects papers and speakers who provide knowledge based on 14 points adapted from and inspired by Dr. W. Edwards Deming!

1) Align the aim of maintenance with the greater aims of the company or organization and make sure everyone understands and supports that aim

2) Adopt a new philosophy of proactive reliability and teach it to your employees, suppliers and customers

3) Cease dependence on reactive and time based maintenance

4) End the practice of “low bid” purchasing and use total life cycle cost to calculate value.  Move to single suppliers for key purchases of products and services

5) Improve constantly the system of maintenance, planning, scheduling and any other activity.  This will improve reliability and productivity will also decrease cost

6) Institute skills training

7) Adopt and institute leadership for the management of people, recognizing their different abilities, capabilities, and aspiration. The aim of leadership should be to help people, machines, and gadgets do a better job. 

8) Create a trust-based work environment to foster effective contribution from everyone

9) Tear down virtual walls between maintenance and operation, maintenance and purchasing and maintenance and management.  The entire company is one system and must work as a team to accomplish the aim of the system

10) Eliminate the “program of the day” for maintenance improvements and tear down posters with catchy slogans that do not match what actually happens on the plant floor

11) Eliminate management by Key Performance Indicators (KPI).  Use them to gain knowledge but substitute leadership for management by numbers

12) Allow people to enjoy their work and take pride in workmanship

13) Institute a vigorous program of training and self- improvement

14) Put everyone in charge of change – it is everyone’s job
