OMCS AP is offering a two day workshop to assist supervisors, reliability engineers / technicians and production managers develop an understanding of alternate paths to the development and implementation of effective maintenance strategies. The workshop is the result of several years of consultation and successful implementation programs with leading American and local companies.

The workshop will emphasize the Planned Maintenance Optimization (PMO) methodology, an RCM based approach to maintenance analysis. Whereas RCM was developed for new plant and the design process, PMO was developed specifically to improve the performance of established maintenance operations quickly and effectively utilizing RCM principles.
Rather than starting from scratch and evaluating many failure possibilities, PMO directly focuses on plant and personnel productivity by:

Eliminating all redundant PM work and task duplication;

Ensuring that all PM is done at the correct interval by the most effective means;

Achieving substantial improvements in uptime by moving to a more rational maintenance program based on specific business and production needs;

Quickly identifying preventable failures and addressing them through PM tasks.

Forming a close knit relationship amongst those involved in managing the plant at the "grass roots" level, that is, the operators, trades people and other hands-on specialists. A significant strength in the program is its ability to harness the latent knowledge of these people and empower them to "make a difference".

Focusing on implementation rather than analysis; and

Providing a return of up to 5 to 1 or more on labor invested in the program.

By attending a PMO workshop participants will also discover:

The limitations of both statistical and classical RCM methods ... and how to implement RCM but avoid becoming one of those failure statistics.

Where to find the quick hits that are so important to gaining momentum.

How to use software effectively to streamline the analysis and implementation process, record the basis for decisions and to form the basis of a living, continuous improvement program.

How to engage all those people who are indirectly involved in the maintenance improvement program.
