November 23, 2007 How To Develop A Structured Maintenance Work Management System
Workshop#14
by Terry Wireman, CPMM, Author, Benchmarking Best Practices for Maintenance Management
Most organizations today use some type of a CMMS/ EAM system to gather their maintenance and asset management data. However, very few really develop and implement effective work management processes to optimize the utilization of their system. This in turn leads to poor utilization of their maintenance labor and material resources.
This workshop focuses on developing the optimal work management processes and how to implement them regardless of the CMMS/ EAM system a company uses. The topics covered include:
1. How work management supports a maintenance/ reliability strategy
2. The Work Management Processes
a. Reactive work flows
b. Preventive maintenance work flows
c. Planning work flows
d. Scheduling work flows
e. Completion work flows
3. Developing Work Order Information Requirements
4. Developing Organizational support for work management
5. Developing Key Performance Indicators for Work Management
6. The Eight common reasons for Work Management Failures and how to overcome them
November 23, 2007 To Make Progress In A Tough Environment, Sometimes You Have To Start With What's Right About It And
Workshop#9
by Steve Turner, OMCS
The vast majority of industrial companies struggle with the basics of maintenance management yet most solution providers these days are talking up computerization and complexity. There is a significant gap between industry needs and solutions available. Conference participants arrive at the doors of the sessions full of enthusiasm but leave with a sense of helplessness. Where are the solutions that transform the companies that struggle with day to day maintenance management?
Many maintenance practitioners are faced with the following dilemma:
• My PM’s are a mess or don’t exist formally!
• I have no effective failure data!
• My Planners and Schedulers are expeditors!
• My technicians only know how to fix breakdowns!
• The operators don’t help!
• My spares store needs to be a Wal-Mart!
• I can’t meet budget, let alone put on a reliability engineer and invest in systems?
In this highly interactive workshop we imagine we are in a company that is caught in the a vicious cycle of reactive maintenance and we work our way through the issues setting up proper PM’s, valuable data collection systems, motivated workforce, proper spares management and a general focus on reliability rather than repair.
The ten step process leads should lead you from the blind to the visionary.
