Bermuda Electric Company’s PM Optimization Program
When staff at the Bermuda Electric Light Co. Ltd researched RCM, precious little data was found regarding its application to a primarily large diesel driven power utilities. The company subsequently decided upon a Planned Maintenance Optimization approach using PMO2000® with aggressive targets and timelines. The targets were, a 20% increase in productivity, chop downtime in half and deliver this within 1 year. In this webinar, Mr. Abayomi Carmichael, Senior Reliability Engineer, Energy Supply with Bermuda Electric Light Co. Ltd will share his experiences and challenges in achieving the target with the PMO2000® approach. Mr. Carmichael recently accepted the coveted Ascendant Impact Award which he collected on behalf of his team at BELCO.
Best Practices for Failure Reporting and Failure Elimination
A 38 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Ricky Smith, GPAllied
Almost every maintenance organization sets some sort of failure elimination goal. The problem is, most goals are focused on elimination of bad actors or "one asset at a time".
Here is the bad news; this failure elimination process could take forever and still never eliminate the failures. Have you ever performed a Root Cause Analysis on a piece of equipment only to see the failure again soon afterwards?
There are known "Best Practices" in Industry for Failure Reporting but they are fragmented in most organizations and not pulled together providing an organization true success in failure elimination.
This iPresentation will provide each attendee with details on how to establish Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System "Best Practices" which includes;
1) What reports are required to eliminate failures
2) How to identify "failure threads" within different equipment types which can be acted on to bring quick results and make a large impact to the reliability of your operation
3) How to set up a CMMS/EAM with the right types of codes to give you the right reports to eliminate failures
Best Practices Implementing Operator Driven Reliability Programs, PT 1
A one hour long Webinar on Demand by Dave Staples, Business Development Manager, Operator Driven Reliability, SKF
Best Practices Implementing Operator Driven Reliability Programs, PT 2
An hour long presentation by Dave Staples, Business Development Manager, SKF
Operators are rapidly accepting active rolls in preventive and predictive maintenance. This process, called Operator Driven Reliability (ODR,) is best enabled by implementing technology to automate task management, quality, and tracking in each operator's hands.
Best Practices in Oil Sampling
A 7 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Kelly Wollschlager, Trico Corp
A company could spend thousands of dollars collecting oil samples, analyzing reports only to find out that the means that the sample was extracted jeopardized the competency of the sample itself. Some of the areas where data integrity could be comprised include: how was the sample taken, what tools were used to take the sample, and where was the sample taken. This i-Presentation will discuss how to achieve best practices in oil sampling.

Building a Business Case for PAS-55
A 45 Minute recorded webinar - play back on demand by James Nesbitt, Asset Performance Group
The British Standards Institute's Publicly Available Specification 55 (PAS-55) provides organizations with a framework for establishing good practices in asset management. As organizations consider whether to adopt this specification, they will need to justify the cost of implementation against the value created by it. APG's James Nesbitt will lead webinar participants through an examination of the business opportunities that may be available in their organizations for adopting PAS-55 and how they can be woven into a business case that supports this adoption.
Participate to discover:
* How PAS-55 covers Asset Management good practices
* There is business value in adopting PAS-55
* Not all opportunities are financial, yet they all are part of the business case for adopting PAS-55

Building Value with Asset Performance Management Work Processes
An hour long presentation by Chris DeFalco, Director of Product Management, Meridium
Gaining a competitive edge with Asset Performance Management (APM) requires the effective application of process, people and technology. This approach needs to be supported by well-designed processes that identify how to perform work, committed people who know how to apply them, and powerful, enabling technology to simplify the task.

CBM and Reliability for Today’s Maintenance Supervisor
An 8 minute iPresentation by Florian Lenders, Vice President of Ivara
Move away from wading through a text-based work order system. Instead, move towards managing equipment by exception, using condition-based indicators. Gain a better understanding of what to inspect while standardizing the way data is collected and reported. Track and trend equipment condition degradation and put in place a complete method of inspecting and managing your equipment.
Challenging the MRO Summit - The Mountaineer’s Guide to Success
An hour long presentation by Rich MacInnes, Partner, MRO Connection
“Life always gets harder toward the summit-the cold increases, the responsibility increases.”
Fredrich Nietzche
Lean experts teach us to see Waste in our operations, so why can’t we see the mountain of MRO materials—whose very existence is to respond to imagined or actual failure. Where cross industry analysis indicate that 58% of annual MRO investments will still be in place 3 years later and 68% of SKUs purchased annually will never be used. This mountain of MRO stock grows nearly 7% annually—this is Waste by any definition. Join MRO Connection in a guided path to reaching the MRO summit, highlighting essential skills while providing insight on the right gear to pack and tackle the seemingly insurmountable MRO challenges.
Combating Reactive Maintenance
A 6 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Brian Heinsius, ARMS Reliability Engineers
There are two important areas to activate in an asset management system to change its behaviour.
• Defect elimination process to ensure that causes of failures are addressed to prevent recurrence of those or similar failures.
• Optimum Maintenance Strategies that address likely failures and the right type of maintenance is performed at the right time in order to meet the organisation needs at the least cost.
This iPresentation looks at some of the strategies that can be used to change the behaviour of a reactive organisation
Comparing Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) and Machinery Vibration Analysis (MVA) 004
Rotating machinery exhibit specific characteristics when faults create unwanted mechanical motion. For over 70 years Machinery Vibration Analysis has been the main method used to identify many of these faults. Recent experience and research have proven that many of these same faults can be identified using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA). ESA also provides very important information regarding the condition of the incoming power to the motor, as well as possible electrical faults in the motor system undetectable using MVA. This presentation discusses the faults that are identified and how they present themselves in both the Vibration spectrum and the Electrical spectrum. ESA is emerging as a very important part of a plant's Electrical predictive maintenance program. In some plants it is being used as the main detection tool used to identify both electrical and mechanical problems on machines which are driven by electric motors.
