Applying Simple Proactive Procedures to Maximize Equipment Reliability How to Interpret Oil Analysis Reports and Set Effective Limits Monday, April 15, 8:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Monday, April 15, 8:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Pete Oviedo – Noria Corporation Many associate proactive maintenance with only a maintenance task, but what role does lubrication play in this? In this workshop you will learn what it means to keep lubricants cool, dry and clean, and your equipment aligned and balanced before putting them into service. You will learn several simple, practical tasks that will increase equipment reliability and make your maintenance efforts more effective. With Full-Conference Registration - $225 ::: Workshop Only - $295 The Basics of Lubricants Bob Scott – LubeWorks Precisely set alarms and limits are the critical first step to interpreting oil analysis results. With strategically set alarms and limits, costly problems quickly reveal themselves, allowing more time to make adjustments and react. You'll learn how to select the correct types of limits and how to apply those limits to maximize problem detection. In this workshop, you'll get step-by-step instruction on how to attain maximum value from every oil analysis report you receive. You'll learn exactly what to look for, how to set strategic alarms and limits, and how to read between the lines so that you can make highly-effective maintenance decisions.

Without them, production grinds to a halt, and costly repairs and downtime are imminent. We all know the importance of lubrication and the role it plays in machinery lubrication, but how much do we really know about our oils and greases? For a lubrication program to be effective, all lubrication and reliability professionals need a solid understanding of lubricants. In this workshop you will learn the basics of lubricants, what they are made of and how they work. With Full-Conference Registration - $225 ::: Workshop Only - $295 Fundamentals for Designing and Procuring Equipment to Increase Reliability Jerry Putt – Noria Corporation Monday, April 15, 8:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Most efforts to meet reliability goals generally come from the maintenance organization. Often the inherent reliability of the system is determined by the design and procurement practices employed long before the equipment becomes the responsibility of the plant. Design and procurement personnel usually are focused on meeting functionality requirements within cost and delivery time constraints. This workshop will provide suggestions for designers and procurement professionals that can result in higher potential reliability and give the maintenance team a better opportunity to consistently achieve the optimum capability of the equipment.

Managers who once desired equipment maintenance reliability now demand it…it is a matter of corporate survival in the global economy, and effective machinery lubrication is an essential enabler to success. This movement has led companies in all industries to take control of reliability by reinventing their lubrication programs. Those who are responding to the challenge are seeing amazing results….on the bottom line, where it counts most. The change goes beyond simply using better lubricants. The leaders are employing technologies, empowering employees and building ultramodern new practices – creating new and energized reliability culture. The workshop will address the following topics: • Performance metrics for PM compliance, contamination control and lubricant quality targets • How to evaluate needed lubrication and oil analysis skills • How to benchmark your program to world-class status and construct a master plan for transformation • How to build a first-rate lubrication team with the specific collection of skills needed • What kind of return-on-investment you can expect from your program • The importance of standardization and procedure-based lubrication • The honest truth about synthetics and premium lubricants • Lubrication low-hanging fruit and quick kills • The power of the daily one-minute inspection when done correctly With Full-Conference Registration - $225 ::: Workshop Only - $295
