Conference: Maintenance & Reliability Summit

MARTS 2012: March 12-15

Hyatt Regency O'Hare hotel, Rosemont, Illinois, USA

The 2012 Maintenance and Reliability Technology Summit (MARTS) is one of the leading conferences in North America, covering 2 days of seminar presentations, several in depth workshops and an exhibition with solution providers including Mainnovation. 
 
Guy Delahay, our Managing Partner and author of the book on Value Driven Maintenance, will present an opening keynote dealing with the typical challenges of   Multi Site Maintenance Excellence programs. 
 
Many multi-site manufacturing operations strive for manufacturing and maintenance excellence. While the potential of the combined benefits can be substantial, it can be challenging to get a multi-site maintenance and reliability excellence program up and running. Differences in proficiency, cultures, tools, priorities and CMMS applications must be addressed. Focus on one methodology such as TPM, RCM, Lean, PdM, RCA or go for an all-inclusive framework? 
 
This keynote presentation provides practical guidance on achieving a common maintenance language and culture using a structured approach for plant assessment, KPI Metrics and CMMS-based dashboards, internal and external benchmarking and shared knowledge of best practices. Included are lessons learned from the facilitation of multi-site excellence programs at GlaxoSmithKline, Volvo Cars, ConAgra Foods and DSM.
