|
|
When: October 25 and 26, 2017
Where: Crowne Plaza Chicago - Northbrook, IL
Cost: $1,295 for ASB Members/$1,795 for non-ASB Members
Overview: The simplest maintenance strategy is to execute run to failure maintenance (also known as "run to fail"). In this strategy, assets are deliberately allowed to operate until they break down, at which point reactive maintenance is performed.
Learning Objectives:
- At the conclusion of this workshop participants will be able to build a tactical action plan to address unplanned downtime and understand what leads to reactive maintenance and tactical strategies for getting out of run to fail.
- Employers should expect that attendees will learn actionable techniques that when properly executed will reduce waste and downtime from a reactive maintenance culture.
Who Should Attend: Plant Managers, Plant Engineers, Maintenance Managers, Operations Managers, Maintenance Supervisors and Planner/Schedulers.
Instructor: Rowdy Brixey - President, Brixey Engineering, Inc.
Most recently, Rowdy was the Director of Engineering and Maintenance Optimization for BBU, leading maintenance engineering for over 55 plants and project engineering for two-thirds of the US. During the past three years, Rowdy developed and taught maintenance management teams and worked to develop future bench. In 2017 Rowdy started his own company,
BEST: Brixey Engineering Strategies & Training.
