Reliability Testing Methods and Acceptance
Criteria for Industrial Equipment
Christopher Smith,
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
Specifying reliability goals when designing or specifying
and procuring new equipment is an important piece of any
reliability program. In this session you’ll learn an approach
for testing short-term reliability of industrial equipment that
is based on statistically substantiating an acceptable
MTBF. You’ll learn about the advantages of testing, how to
define the testing parameters, calculate the test duration
and interpret the results. Determining a testing location,
collecting data, setting up the test and practical issues that
may be experienced during the test will also be discussed.
1:30-2:20pm
Improving Asset Performance
by Changing Weibull Shapes
Bill Keeter, Allied Reliability
The failure mechanisms present in facility assets are
directly linked to the maintenance and operating practices
of the organization. In this session you’ll learn the basic
Weibull shapes, the maintenance and operating practices
related to them and the changes that can be made in those
practices to change Weibull shapes to what we need them
to be. Particular attention will be paid to infant and random
failures and the potential maintenance and operating tactics
required to deal with them.
2:30-3:20pm
The CMMS with Regard
to Maintenance Planning
R.D. (Doc) Palmer
This presentation explores implementing and using a
CMMS to assist maintenance planning. What are some
common features and aspects in a CMMS that would
especially help a planner? Let’s discuss different types of
CMMS software projects such as installing a new system
or simply upgrading an existing system. What are some
major problems of software projects and how can we
avoid them?
4:30-5:20pm
Reliability - Not Just for
Maintenance Anymore
Ricky Smith, Ivara Corporation
Reliability is not just for maintenance anymore.
Maintenance and operations personnel must work together
toward the common goal of uptime and improving equipment
reliability and performance. The capabilities of your
product are dependent on the capabilities of your manufacturing
process which are dependent on the capabilities of
your assets. In this session, you’ll see a comparison of two
different companies illustrating success and failure in
attempting to engage all levels of the organization in reliability.
Learn how putting a proactive asset maintenance
process in place is an effective strategy instrumental in
impacting the bottom line.
8:00 - 9:50am

11:00-11:50am
MRO Material Handling Solutions
for Lean Manufacturing
Mark A. Lewis, Oracle
Maintenance and Repair Operations (MRO) departements
face increasingly complex business pressures, to run
lean, increase uptime and decrease their total cost of operations.
While Computerized Maintenance Management
Systems (CMMS) are now commonplace, these systems
are often not integrated with the coporate management
system and often little thought has been given to fundamentally
changing the way MRO parts are ordered, stored,
requested and delivered. This session will provide a survey
overview and discussion of the fundamentals of modern
parts storage systems, strategies, equipment and technology
as they apply to MRO parts handling.
1:30-2:20pm
Asset Basic Care from a
TPM / Six Sigma Perspective
Steve Reilly, Design Maintenance Systems Inc.
Asset Basic Care programs use operations, maintenance
and/or lubrication staff to physically inspect and verify the
operating condition of work areas, processes and fixed /
mobile assets. Asset Basic Care is derived from several of
the pillars of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and can
make a profound contribution to any organization implementing
a Six Sigma quality strategy. Most importantly,
basic care can have a significant positive effect on asset
availability, as well as reduce operations and maintenance
expenditures in the achievement of increased asset reliability.
In this session, you’ll learn about implementation, the
tools and technology that are the key elements of a successful
Asset Basic Care program.
2:30-3:20pm
Root Cause Analysis vs. Shallow Cause Analysis:
What’s the Difference?
Robert J. Latino, Reliability Center, Inc.
Does regulatory compliance with RCA guidelines ensure
operational reliability? Operational reliability involves the
aggregation of equipment, process and human eliability
methods and techniques. What is the difference between
troubleshooting, problem solving and root cause analysis?
Are the outcomes different when we use The 5-Whys, The
Fishbone or a Logic Tree? Can deficiencies in our approach
to RCA increase the risk of excessive downtime? These
questions will be discussed in depth and contrasted using a
common example to determine if we are using root cause
analysis or shallow cause analysis.
4:30-5:20pm
Getting the Most Out of
Your CMMS/EAM System
Dave Loesch and Stephen Slade, Oracle
Many firms today are not leveraging the full capacity of
their current Computerized Maintenance Management
Systems (CMMS)/ Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
systems. Analyst studies indicate that as little as 5-10% of
current CMMS/EAM capabilities are used in many cases
with medium use factor in the 20-30% level. It is the exceptional
firm that exceeds 40% of the capability and benefits
available from a fully implemented CMMS/EAM to them.
But why is this the case? This paper explores the current
trends taking place within CMMS/EAM with a look at both
the present and future trends emerging.
8:00 - 9:50am
Movin’ On Up: Plant Managers
that Get Reliability
Plenary Panel Discussion.
10:00-10:50am
What Reliability Can Learn from TPM - and What
TPM Can Learn from Reliability
John Schultz, Allied Reliability
The TPM and reliability communities simply do not understand
one another. The truth is that there are very few documented
TPM success stories in North America and even
the successful TPM improvement plants report returns that
are only one-third to one-half the returns reported by successful
reliability improvement plants. In this session, the
integration of these two proven and complimentary methodologies
will be introduced as Total Productive ReliabilityTM.
We’ll break down the most common myths, misconceptions
and misunderstandings between these two important concepts
and show how to take advantage of their synergies.
1:30-2:20pm
Managing Business Risk with
Facility Reliability Reviews
Larry Cote, Dofasco Inc.
Utilizing Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA),
Dofasco has developed a process for describing failures and
assessing their impact on short, medium and long-term business
goals. Originally developed as a way to identify key reliability
contributors for capital planning, the process is known
internally as a Facility Reliability Review and uses several key
quality and reliability principles and some unique adaptations in
a customized FMEA analysis. For example, defining equipment
as failed by inadequate design or by poor condition helps to target
significant performance shortcomings that have become
the way of doing business, but really shouldn’t be tolerated.
2:30-3:20pm
The Move to Proactive Maintenance:
You Can’t Get There from Here
Terry Harris, Reliable Process Solutions
Many companies want to transition from performing
over 80 percent reactive work to corrective maintenance.
But how can they do it? In this session, you’ll learn multiple
methods for getting your maintenance work into the proactive
part of the curve and reducing your reactive maintenance
to less than 20 percent. The costs and the potential
savings that can be achieved will also be discussed. Learn
how to start the climb up the PF curve to success.
