Maintenance is a high leverage business activity and, for these industries, is oftenthe highest controllable operating cost. The objective of the organisation is to provide a forum and support network formembers to share learnings and to accelerate their progress on the path to maintenance excellence. Key focus areas aredefect elimination, teamwork, reliability principles and front line engagement.One of the networks known as the Industrial Maintenance Roundtable (IMRt) has grown to have over 150 activelyinvolved companies in Australia and New Zealand, where the members companies are all asset owners and operatorsof highly capital intensive manufacturing, processing and mining businesses. The IMRt charter is to enhance the asseteffectiveness of the member companies through collaborative activities and in key areas of best practice. The networkaddresses these issues through a series of activities including, quarterly meetings, common interest workshops,benchmarking exercises, root cause analysis training, excellence recognition awards, national forums and by sponsoringinternational recognised trainers in planning and reliability.Raising the profile of Electrical Maintenance Delivery of electrical power is the life-blood of all industrial businessesand unplanned outages and equipment failure can usually be averted by effective maintenance strategies. The AnnualElectrical Maintenance & Safety Forum provides a networking opportunity for the Electrical maintenance community toshare best practices experiences in managing electrical assets on industrial and manufacturing sites. Electrical Safetyissues have been very keenly discussed at prior forums, with an emphasis on processes that can be put in place to mitigateagainst the risk of injury. The forum is attended by representatives from a wide range of industries covering Mining, Food& Beverage, Petro-Chemical, Power Generation, Cement, Paper, Steel, Process Industries and Manufacturing.Delivering Reliability through Condition Monitoring and Lubrication PracticesMaking improvements in Condition Monitoring and Lubrication Practices is a significant opportunity for organisations that63maintenancenews
