Ten Things a Maintenance Planner Can Do
Maintenance planners plan the work, or do they, or are they really schedulers, or gate keepers on resources? Planning and scheduling are different activities – the first is about scope, sequence, parts, permits, tools, etc., while the second is about allocation of available resources based on priority needs.

Four Steps to Lower Operating Expenses and Increase Efficiency
Manufacturing organizations often use Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as a key metric in assessing operations. While OEE is really three metrics rolled into one percentage, the components that make up the overall metric, availability, performance, and quality, are all important areas to benchmark.

Ten Things Anyone Can Do
Many people in plants feel powerless to take action, lamenting poor design, management support, lack of tools and training, etc. As someone said, it’s easier to get forgiveness than permission. So, with that in mind, we’ll discuss things that anyone can do, given they’ve had some experience in working in their plants.

Ten Things I Can Do as a Reliability Engineer
Over the next several weeks, we’ll be going through a series of “10 Things” that people in various functions can do to improve reliability. While these will mostly be actions that maintenance personnel can take, we’ll touch on operations in a couple. We’ll begin with actions a reliability engineer can take.

Design and Capital Projects Practices – Self-Assessment
In this session we’ll be taking participants through a “self-assessment” of their design and capital projects practices with a particular focus on designing for plant reliability. What we’ve observed is that most organizations do not use a life cycle cost approach in their capital projects, but rather lowest installed cost. This results in lower reliability, and generally poorer performance.

Stores-Purchasing Practices – Self-Assessment
In this session we’ll be taking participants through a “self-assessment” of their current stores and purchasing practices. What we’ve observed is that there is often a disconnect, even conflict, in objectives between stores (minimize working capital) and maintenance (minimize unavailability of spare parts. Both are admirable, but in conflict, so the key is to balance those competing interests for the greater good of the business.
