Vibration measurement has come of age in the last 20 years.  While the practice of continuous on-line monitoring of critical machines in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries has been commonplace for several decades, it is only recently that companies who had been using intermittent data collection techniques are now embracing continuous monitoring.  This session will discuss that the new horizon for continuous monitoring is mobile equipment; draglines, shovels, bucket-wheel excavators, stacker-reclaimers, heavy haul trucks, are all equally important to production and just as critical as a gas compressor.  Participants will learn that, unlike stationary machinery, monitoring mobile equipment brings substantial challenges that must be addressed to ensure accurate, repeatable, and reliable data acquisition.  Rapid speed and load variations are just one element of the application.  The logistics of sensor mounting, cabling, network communications, and general serviceability bring unique complications to the task of monitoring these machines.  Ron will discuss these obstacles and present new solutions that have the potential to bring significant reliability improvements to large mobile equipment.

During this webcast, Abrar discusses the 3 major elements (people, processes & technology) required to successfully enable end users of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Learn more about: 1) Defining the scope, timelines and objectives of CMMS/EAM implementation; 2) Dealing with Master Data - defining the data and dealing with data overload; 3) How to ensure front line workers input quality data so that it can be effectively used for reliability analysis; 4) Processes (how to incorporate the technology); and 5) Roadmap (how to bring it all together and proceed).

Many factors can influence the success of an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) /Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) implementation; the most common problems provide the most effective opportunities for improving overall maintenance practices. In this session, learn from Infor Canada how many of its clients have adopted simple and effective strategies that have allowed them to achieve "competence" and "excellence" levels in the Maintenance Maturity Grid. Learn how EAM/CMMS solutions have assisted organizations that use equipment and machinery to produce products, in maintaining the health and life of their equipment. In this session participants will identify the common issues encountered in the implementation of an EAM/CMMS, and learn how to  develop successful strategies not only for a successful implementation, but also continuous improvement maintenance operations, extending beyond maintenance departments. Any EAM/CMMS has the potential to be the most powerful tool in the toolbox of maintenance practitioners. The right strategies will guarantee you succeed in realizing its full potential.

"Uptime - Strategies for Excellence in Maintenance Management" has been a best-seller since 1995. It's 3rd edition includes a number of significant changes from the earlier editions reflecting changes in successful practices, the emerging field of Asset Management and the new imperative that any changes become sustainable. This workshop will provide an overview of the new Uptime "Model of Excellence," introduce the book's new material, explain how it all works and fits within the broader asset management framework.

The Asset Management Council, based in Australia, is a non-profit, member network committed to advancing asset management knowledge and capability of members and the broader community. In June 2014, the AMA released an ISO 55001 Companion Guide as a ‘must have how to guide,’ that delivers an instructive approach when implementing ISO 55001. Sally Nugent, the executive director of AMC will share highlights of the guide during this session, and share why it has become an essential document for every asset management professional.
