This presentation by CMMS deployment expert Scott Rojas of Fluke Reliability outlines the pre-implementation process we call the AIM. The AIM provides a detailed look at a company’s alignment on its business strategy and capabilities; project engineering, compliance, scoping, and other CMMS requirements; plus goals, objectives, and expected ROI. AIM seeks to reduce pitfalls that…
Lean management, Six Sigma, process reengineering, root cause analysis, and other techniques all provide methods for identifying the changes needed to move a business forward. But the biggest challenge has long been actually implementing the improvements. Implementation comes down to individual leaders influencing their direct reports at each level in the organization. They need to…
A distinguished panel of Fluke Reliability experts—John Bernet, Gregory Perry, and Dries Van Loon—discuss the merits of Inherent Availability condition-based maintenance strategies, tools, and techniques designed to help find the earliest signs of potential component failure. These techniques include oil analysis, ultrasound, motor circuit testing, vibration, and thermography. Which ones are most critical to you?…
Safety is all about people, and building a culture of safety is about instilling human behaviors that become the norm. That includes taking steps to protect workers from being infected by COVID-19, but it goes beyond this. And it is not something accomplished in a short time—typically, it takes five to 10 years. Yet positive…

In the current and post-COVID-19 world, this cloud-based application from the makers of eMaint upgrades planning and scheduling to handle the more rigorous demands for cleaning requests, resources, and supplies. Users can map work orders to physical…
An infinite number of causes can lead to lost production and unplanned downtime. But some have common physical roots and underlying latent roots related to our reliability issues. Presenter Shon Isenhour, founding partner of Eruditio, has reviewed or participated in thousands of root cause analyses. In this webinar, he discusses cases with more obvious roots…
With COVID-19 causing considerable uncertainty, many reliability and maintenance professionals are concerned about how to meet production goals. For football fans, there’s also some anxiety—what’s in store for America’s favorite fall pastime? Maybe there’s something we can learn from considering production and football goals at the same time. In this webinar, Life Cycle Institute educator…
Maintenance teams know these pitfalls. Coupling backlash, where manual positioning of the coupling is needed during a measurement rotation. Uncoupled machines, where laser and sensor heads must be separately and manually positioned on a machine, leading to possible errors and rework. Repeated moves and measurements just to get an accurate alignment result. In this webinar,…
Reliability is designed—literally and figuratively. Literally speaking, the inherent reliability of our equipment is governed by its design. But as equipment custodians, what we do (or don’t do) affects a machine’s reliability more than we may think—and it goes way beyond maintenance. In this webinar, RCM expert Nancy Regan details the winning reliability philosophy that…
The current crisis is making the benefits and value of flexibility in the Industrial Internet of Things more obvious than ever. It is driving more people to investigate how the cloud and IIoT with software-connected equipment and advanced analytics tools can turn data volumes into meaningful maintenance intelligence accessible onsite or remotely. However, maintenance leaders…
