WorkshopsWorkshop #22Work Management SimulationEd Stanek, Jr., LAI ReliabilityThursday, October 18, 20128:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.The Work Management Simulation TM is one of the mostinnovative training systems available today. The Simulation is atremendous awareness tool as it deals with every undesirablemaintenance and reliability problem. Then, through a systematicapplication of best practices timed around the theory ofconstraint management, it elevates productivity and reliability bydriving out the seven wastes.Whether you are looking to elevate or create your planning &scheduling efforts, learn planning & scheduling optimizationthrough the Work Management Simulation TM , an innovative,interactive means to transfer the many concepts of maintenancework management best practices.Participants will see firsthand the negative effects of “doingwhat we’ve always done” in a typical reactive maintenanceenvironment. From round-by-round analysis, teams makeincremental improvements in the way maintenance work isidentified, planned, and scheduled, showing the considerableincrease in work accomplished between every round not byworking faster but by managing the waste around the job. Thissimulation goes far beyond showing the importance of proactivemaintenance in the pursuit of reliability; it goes on to show theparticipants how it is attained.Workshop #23Leaning Out Your Energy ControlProgram (LOTO)John Perrotti, Fuss & O’Neill Manufacturing Solutions, LLC& Doc Palmer, Richard Palmer and AssociatesThursday, October 18, 20128:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.This workshop is meant to discuss the OSHA standard for anEnergy Control Program, commonly referred to as Lock Out/TagOut (LOTO). It will cover the requirements for using LOTO duringservice and maintenance operations.Safety is an essential part of the productive workforce.Understanding the different types of LOTO that can be used willbe demonstrated, as well as methods and techniques that canbe used to reduce the amount of steps necessary to comply.Case examples will be shown to demonstrate that with certainmachine improvements, LOTO is no longer required for certainmaintenance functions. Lean methodologies will be addressedthrough the use of visuals for machine specific procedures.The differences in LOTO for servicing and maintenance as wellas LOTO for electrical work will be explained in detail as this iscurrently the emphasis for OSHA.The target audience for this presentation is the VP ofmanufacturing, facility managers, maintenance managers,production and maintenance supervisors, reliability engineers,as well as safety and quality professionals. This audience willcome away from this workshop with tools and techniques thatwill help them to perform improved and more consistent energycontrol and will also satisfy a portion of the regulatory trainingrequirements set forth by OSHA.Workshop #24Managing your MRO Storeroom Using“Best Practices”Jim Davis, Performance Consulting Associates (PCA)Thursday, October 18, 20128:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.Creating “The Perfect MRO Storeroom”…Is it Possible? Yourcompany may be losing much needed equipment uptimedue to repair parts shortages, losses, and misidentificationand mishandling, which greatly impacts the maintenancedepartment’s ability to get needed repair work done efficientlyand effectively.Is it possible to reduce maintenance material costs whileimproving asset performance?Do your storerooms look more like the average family garagerather than a place for conducting efficient business?The answer to these challenges may lie in creating theperfect MRO storeroom. This workshop will focus on thebasics, as well as some of the specifics for this initiative. Asa part of our discussion, we will go into some detail for thefollowing “key” areas or elements of efficient and effectivestoreroom operations: Analyze, design, mobilize, operate,measure, optimize, and sustain. We will learn how to applyindustry-proven MRO “best practices” within a company’sMRO storeroom or spare parts warehouse. We will cover thebasics of “best practice” operations and discover the differencebetween just “running a storeroom” versus “managing astoreroom.”This workshop is designed for the MRO storeroom manager,storeroom supervisor, or senior storeroom attendant, but can bevaluable to any maintenance & reliability professional.14
