Maintenance coding is important in a well defined CMMS architecture. One of the often misunderstood and misused codes is the Work Order Type. Often that code is conflated and used as a “catch all” only because it is either a required field or there exists a loosely defined utilization of the field. Let’s unwind what…
Consolidating multiple sites or departments into one CMMS solution can unlock major efficiencies—but jumping in without a clear plan often leads to stalled progress. This session highlights the most common pitfalls faced during multi-site and cross-department standardization projects—such as misaligned processes, poor data governance, and insufficient change management—and provides practical solutions to overcome them. And…
Industrial maintenance and reliability professionals have a much wider set of tools to choose from to monitor machine health than they did 10 years ago, with AI software poised to change the toolkit even further. However, at some point, all of the motors, pumps, and steam traps still need to be checked and tested, the…
In capital-intensive industries, effective Asset Management is critical to profitability, ensuring that essential production assets are maintained at the lowest cost while maximizing availability and reliability. Asset Management encompasses three key elements: Work Management, Asset Strategies, and Defect Elimination. These elements, supported by strong leadership and collaboration between Production and Maintenance, form an interdependent framework…
Well-connected management teams effectively drive their Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) programs by utilizing key performance indicators (KPIs) and aligning them with broader business-level metrics. These teams understand that the success of a CBM program depends not only on technical execution but also on how well the performance data is communicated to stakeholders. In this webinar, we…
Since the late 90s, maintenance team leaders have struggled to make their teams more efficient and “World Class.” Root Cause Analysis is essential to understand when and why these inefficiencies began. Leaders need to change their mindset about where to find future maintenance associates, focusing on the MT (Maintenance Team) Factors: MT Factor #1: The…
Maintaining assets in a cost-effective manner is essential to a company’s profitability. To effectively and efficiently execute an Asset Management (Maintenance & Reliability – M&R) Strategy, an organization should have an effective Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The CMMS is the system of record that provides well organized and accurate data for continuous improvement. Effective…
We as Asset Management professionals are always spouting off about Planning and Scheduling. However, where the rubber meets the road is an agreed-to and locked in weekly schedule by Operations and Maintenance that actually gets to the people who execute it, the technicians. This presentation will show how planned maintenance work gets to a schedule…
The world is driven by data. MRO data (also known as indirect material data or material master data) is no exception. Asset intensive organizations continuously strive to be more efficient while being cost effective. MRO data remains one of the most untapped sources of savings for procurement, maintenance, and inventory departments within the manufacturing environment….
For every action taken to maintain a piece of equipment, a Failure Mode—or cause of failure—is managed. That is why a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an essential part of physical asset management. When done properly, an FMEA helps organizations: 1) Define equipment goals, 2) Identify what could cause Reliability to suffer, and…
