Pre-Conference Workshops Monday, August 30

How to Optimize Preventive Maintenance PlansEliminate useless tasks and get more ROI from PM activitiesDrew D. Troyer, Sigma Reliability Solutions8:00 – 4:30, August 30

Are you getting the return on investment you’d like from preventivemaintenance activities? Do wasteful PM activities continue to drain yourresources? In this workshop, learn the logic and process for creating effective, optimized PM plans.

You’ll first learn how to critically evaluate current PM plans to assesstheir value proposition. Then, you’ll learn effective decision-making approaches and when to choose each approach. Next, you’ll learn theprocess of building an enterprise-level PM plan for various equipmentclasses, and determine how to apply those plans at the site-specific andequipment-specific levels. The objectives for this workshop are to teachyou how to:

• Assess the value proposition of current preventive maintenance plans

• Eliminate tasks that fail to add value or actually create problems

• Reduce the ambiguity of maintenance tasks

• Avoid “PM stacking”, where condition monitoring tasks are incorpo-rated in the plan but you fail to eliminate the time-directed tasks they’reintended to replace

• Standardize PM plans for enterprise-level deployment

How to Rate and Select Oil FiltrationMake informed filtration decisions and eliminatecostly trial and error

Jim Fitch, Noria Corporation8:00 – 4:30, August 30

Every day, contamination is robbing industrial lubricants and machin-ery of precious life. Most plants realize significant losses from lubricantcontamination. But smart companies are taking action. By systematicallyreducing in-service lubricant contaminant levels, they are boosting ma-chine and lubricant life. Small improvements in oil cleanliness arehandsomely rewarded with dramatic declines in bearing replacements,pump failures, turbine and gearbox repairs, and more.

The opportunity is significant, but selecting the right filtration for thejob can be confusing. Filter performance ratings don’t align with oil clean-liness codes and there are hundreds of filter sizes and types to choosefrom, making it easy to specify too much or too little filtration.

After this workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of oil filter rat-ings and how to achieve oil cleanliness goals quickly and efficiently. You’llmake informed filtration decisions and eliminate costly trial and error.

You will learn:

• How to achieve target cleanliness levels at the lowest possible cost

• 3 types of filters to replace or upgrade immediately

• How to understand oil filter performance and test specifications

• Filter strategies that remove more contamination for less money

• When and where offline filtration makes sense

• Effective strategies for filtering high-viscosity oils

• 7 simple methods for getting longer filter life and reducing filtration costs

• New and practical ways to reach oil target cleanliness levels

Learning Sessions

Jim Fitch, Noria CorporationDaily one-minute inspections can often be more effective

than even the most sophisticated oil analysis program per-formed monthly. The key is high frequency (daily) and therevealing quality and thoroughness of the inspection. Simi-lar to fishing, you can’t catch a fish unless your hook is in thewater (inspection frequency), and you’ve got to know howto fish (quality of the inspection). Leading organizations havelearned these skills. In this session, you’ll learn the tech-niques of these essential inspection practices.

Rick Staley, predictive maintenance analyst, Energizer Battery Company

In this session, Rick Staley will discuss the lean journeyEnergizer’s lubrication program went through – from dirty oilentering the plant to its current status as an internationalaward-winner (2009 Augustus H. Gill Award recipient). Hewill stress pitfalls, challenges and how to gain support frommanagement to get buy-in. He will cover oil analysis trending,how early detection paid huge benefits and proper samplingtechniques. The presentation will consist of the fundamen-tals, which is the foundation to a strong program. Alsocovered will be setting standards that must be maintained toprevent setbacks (it’s much easier to hold a standard than toslip and have to rebuild), performing audits for these set stan-dards, and choosing the correct personnel for positions.

Mark Barnes, Noria CorporationLubrication preventive maintenance (PM) tasks tradition-

ally have been vague at best. It is still not uncommon tocome across a lubrication PM for a critical machine that sim-ply states: “Lubricate the machine.” This special doublesession will explore what really makes a good lube PM andwhat format it should be presented in. You’ll learn why andhow to use a variety of formal PMs, which include full refer-ence procedures for the new lube technician, task sheets forthe experienced tech and visual documents for operators.

Mark Barnes, Noria CorporationThere’s more to selecting a new lubricants supplier than

the price of lubricants. Price does play a role, but today,most suppliers offer a range of products and services tosupport your lubrication excellence initiatives. This sessionwill help you navigate the window dressing and help youformulate a rational and systematic approach to selectinga new lubricant supplier.

Randy Hall, predictive maintenance technician, Temple-InlandIn this case study session, Randy Hall will share his in-

sights on the progress of the Temple-Inland GypsumWallboard plant’s lubrication program. Included in this pres-entation are the improvements made to the lubricationstorage shed, servicing equipment and bulk oil filtration. Hewill highlight the modifications that were made to reservoirsand gearboxes to help prevent contamination and makeservicing easier. He will share some ideas that didn’t workvery well and what was done to correct them. He also willprovide a list of items used and where they were purchased.

Jeremy Wright, Noria CorporationProper oil sampling is critical to an effective oil analysis

program. Without a representative sample, further oil analy-sis endeavors are futile. There are two primary goals inobtaining a representative oil sample. The first goal is tomaximize data density. The sample should be taken in a waythat ensures there is as much information per milliliter of oilas possible. This information relates to such criteria ascleanliness and dryness of the oil, depletion of additives,and the presence of wear particles being generated by themachine. The second goal is to minimize data disturbance.The sample should be extracted so that the concentrationof information is uniform, consistent and representative. Itis also important not to contaminate the sample during thesampling process. In this session, you’ll learn the samplingprocedures, sampling hardware and sampling locations forgetting the best possible, consistent oil samples.

David Turner, lubricants technical advisor, Shell GlobalSolutions

The analysis of in-service lubricating grease is often achallenging task, since the amount of grease in many ap-plications is quite small, the grease is often totally replacedeach time new grease is added, and access to the lubri-cated contact zone may be difficult. Many commercialin-service lubricant analysis laboratories lack the special-ized test equipment required for grease analysis, so thattype of analysis is performed by a limited number of labo-ratories, primarily those of the grease manufacturers.Various techniques are employed to determine both themacro and micro condition of used lubricating grease.Those techniques, their strengths and weaknesses, andhow the results are combined to provide a complete pictureof the state of grease lubricated equipment are discussedin this session. A few case studies are included to illus-trate the value of analysis of used lubricating grease.

Jarrod Potteiger, product and educational services manager,Des-Case Corporation

This session will help you design an effective contamina-tion control program and the topics covered include: definingoptimum fluid cleanliness levels, identifying the most cost-effective measures to achieve those targets, and finally howto effectively measure contaminant levels. You’ll learn themost common lubricant contaminants, how they affect ma-chinery and how to stop them. Plus, you’ll leave with somesimple-yet-effective methods for analyzing the cost and ben-efits of contamination control to ensure that availableresources are deployed in the most effective way possible.

Jim Fitch, Noria CorporationVarnish, sludge and surface deposits are a persistent

problem among lubricant users. Often, the problem hasbeen extremely chronic, leading to expensive repairs andlost production. While we know much more today aboutthe causes and some solutions, no silver bullet is currentlyavailable to eradicate the problem entirely. This session fo-cuses on the current state of these problems and the futureneeds for a permanent solution.

David Pinchuk, co-founder and president, Thermal-Lube Inc.This presentation will review the new ASTM accepted

practice and methods for FTIR analysis of in-service lubri-cants. It will also detail the direction FTIR research isheading using indirect engineered chemical markers togenerate quantitative (in lieu of qualitative), repeatable andreproducible data such as acid content, base number,moisture and fuel dilution.

John Sander, vice president of technology, Lubrication Engineers Inc.

Today more than ever before, plant managers are drivento reduce operating costs. Yet due to government regula-tions, they are now being asked to do things that are indirect contradiction to reducing costs, such as increasedsafety measures and reducing plant emissions. Surpris-ingly, one of the major ways to achieve these goals isthrough their lubrication program. It may seem far-fetchedthat something as seemingly minimal as lubricants can pro-vide hidden returns. This session will describe exactly howa plant’s energy consumption and emissions can be de-creased while reducing and operating expenses through aplant’s lubrication program.

James D. “Pete” Peterson, senior CBM specialist, Alabama Power Company

This case study session explores the action plan of Ala-bama Power Company when a problem was discovered ona pulverizer gearbox. This was the very first “find” that thespeaker was involved in after being brought on to theplant’s condition-based maintenance team. It provides agood demonstration of the importance of having “in-house”oil testing capabilities.

Aaron Hoeg, operations manager, Hy-Pro FiltrationSaw mills operate multiple pieces of large equipment

with sensitive hydraulic and lubrication systems. Whenthis equipment faces unplanned downtime due to impor-tant components becoming fouled from contaminatedlubricants, profits decrease while production costs in-crease. Applying a total systems cleanliness approach isnecessary to maximize uptime, extend component life, ex-tend fluid life, reduce maintenance resource demands andreduce fluid disposal costs.

This approach was implemented recently at a saw millby upgrading existing filter elements, breathers and addingadditional dedicated off-line filtration where suitable.

Stephen Sumerlin, Noria CorporationWhen compared to other lubrication tasks, greasing is

one of the more simple tasks in execution, but it can proveto be a difficult task to execute without flaw. This sessionwill explore the strategies for proper greasing techniquesfor element bearings, and will expand your perception of thededication and precision that is required to get the mostfrom each stoke of the grease gun.

Mike Shekhtman, manager of maintenance and reliability,Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company

Practicing Lubrication Excellence in a large-scale manu-facturing facility with intricate equipment of great varietypresents significant challenges. Doing so in a multi-loca-tion organization with every plant having both theirindividual advantages and their own issues of manufactur-ing objectives, technical expertise, historic cultures,resources allocation and local collective bargaining agree-ment precedents is a much more demanding task. In thissession, the speaker will show what Goodyear is trying toachieve, how it attempts to address weaknesses and lever-age strengths, and where the company is in theimplementation process.

Stephen Sumerlin, Noria CorporationDetermining where food-grade lubricants should and

should not be used is sometimes a tricky and tedious tasksimply due to misguided regulations and improper in-housetechniques. The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points(HACCP) program was developed to aid in determining crit-ical points and their safety hazards related to contaminationand key health and safety risks. The primary area of use forthe HACCP program is the food and beverage industry, butindustries such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics areadopting the program now as well. This session will discussthe HACCP program and show how food contamination canbe limited with the use of food-grade lubricants.

Henry Dombroski, president, Air-Tight LLCIn this session, you’ll learn about prevention of ingress

contamination by means of: 1) hermetically sealing the bear-ing cavity; 2) pressurizing the bearing cavity with low air ornitrogen pressure; 3) controlling the pressure in the bearingcavity 24/7; 4) giving a visual indication of the amount ofpressure; and, 5) indicating bearing cavity integrity 24/7. Ifyou have current bearing contamination issues, and havetried everything, attend and learn about these alternativemethods for preventing ingress contamination.

“Conference was great! I will be applying many of the products andprocesses in my plant immediately.”


Christopher Eger, product manager for oil services, Schroeder Industries

To have the best off-line filtration requires that you un-derstand three basic areas: What are particulate, waterand gas contamination? What does contamination costyou? Where are you in regards to contamination and wheredo you need to be? After understanding the basics of con-tamination, what products are available in the market toprovide you with a solution? Off-line filtration systems in-clude filtration carts and skids, contamination monitors,dehydration systems and diagnostic equipment.

Leonard Bouwman, manager for asset management,MillerCoors

Increasing pressure to drive out operational costthroughout the manufacturing organization in a highly com-petitive beer market necessitated a radical shift fromreactive maintenance to one of being proactive. This ses-sion will share some of the steps covered to show a 26percent improvement in machine efficiencies. It featuresthe integration of maintenance into operations as part offully integrated team structures, where operations ownsproduction, maintenance, quality, service and safety. At-tend this session and learn how an increase in performancecan defer the need for capital expenditures by getting cur-rent installed capacity to perform optimally.

Garret Hendrix, owner, Hendrix EngineeringPurchasing, tracking and stocking dozens of different hy-

draulic filter elements burdens many companies and has anegative impact on hydraulic reliability when replacementelements aren’t available. This session will introduce you tohydraulic filter standardization based on SAE StandardJ6022, with the ultimate goal of using only one filter elementtype for the entire factory. A case study of a standardizationproject implemented for a Tier 1 automotive supplier havingmore than 160 hydraulic power units, and approximately 80different filter types and sizes will be presented.

Jim Fitch, Noria CorporationControlling particle-induced machinery failures must

begin with defining a customized standard of oil cleanli-ness for each machine that it affects. This session reviewsthe range of methods used to define the correct targetcleanliness level and the most critical influencing fac-tors. You’ll learn the most reliable and effective tools usedin the lubrication field relating to setting cleanliness goalsand establishing contaminant tolerance.

Tom Hiatt, reliability engineer, Covance Inc., and Wayne Ferguson, associate consulting engineer – reliability, Eli Lilly and Company

This session provides an overview of the developmentand performance of a lubrication program audit. These au-dits lead to the creation of an action plan that addressesthe gaps in your lubrication program, and if implemented,will lead to an improvement in equipment reliability. Lubri-cation audits measure your current program practicesagainst industry “best practices.”

Jeremy Wright, Noria CorporationFilter carts are an ideal way to periodically decontami-

nate lubricated systems. Every filter cart should becompatible with the lubricant and the intended application.When considering the addition of a filter cart to your con-tamination control program, there are many things toconsider. This presentation will cover all of the variablesthat need to be accounted for to help determine exactlywhat details you need to provide your supplier. The leadingsuppliers will be able to design the filter cart to meet yourexact needs, giving you the most for your investment.

Terry Harris, president, Reliable Process SolutionsUnderstanding failures modes of your equipment,

processes and individual components is an important func-tion. Every manufacturing or processing plant has rotatingequipment that is performing plant functions. When thisequipment stops working, your processes cease to performtheir designed expectations. The negative impacts are oper-ations downtime, reduced capacity, lower quality and EH&Sincidents. Reliability-Centered Maintenance can be used todefine these failure modes. Lubricants and lubrication pro-grams have more than 100 failure modes that can be definedand controlled. Understanding each failure mode can helpyour plant decide how to prevent and eliminate each of them.

Troy Rooney, lubrication technician, CargillThis session will explain the evolution of a machinery lu-

brication program, focusing on the oil portion. The speakerwill detail the past, present and future of lubrication at theplant. He will cover everything from pulling oil samples, set-ting up gearboxes, handling and storing oil, filtering andsetting up permanent filtration on bigger assets as well asassets that are almost impossible to safely access.

Rick Staley, predictive maintenance analyst, Energizer Battery Company

Rick Staley was instrumental in transforming the lubri-cation storage room at Energizer’s factory in Maryville,Mo., into a world-class example of organization, cleanli-ness and functionality. In this session, he will share thelessons learned from the transformation at Energizer andwill outline what’s required for creating a world-class lu-brication storage room at your facility. Topics and tips willrange from storage and filtration to breathers and spill con-tainment systems to identification and safety measures.Attend this session and gain the knowledge to make overyour lube room.

Tor Idhammar, president, IDCONThis presentation discusses how operations and main-

tenance should closely integrate equipment and processinspections and preventive measures in a cost-effectivemanner. Several simple steps, tools and thought processesthat you can apply in your plant immediately will be dis-cussed. You will see examples of inspection standards forcommon components using colorful documents and easy-to-understand Excel data sheets that you can use in yourorganization to analyze cost-effective PMs. Financial toolsfor analyzing which maintenance method is most cost ef-fective will also be presented.

Kim Smallwood, product line manager – greases, CITGOSynthetics offer persuasive options that can go a long

ways in helping to solve maintenance and performance is-sues. It is to this effort that a fundamental review of theseadvantages is being presented along with evaluation ofcase studies relating the use of synthetic greases.

Christian Bauer, staff scientist, Pall CorporationIn this session, you’ll learn the common types of con-

tamination in industrial hydraulic and lube systems, thedevastating effects of these types of contaminants and ef-fective methods for controlling and reducing them. Thebenefits of implementing a comprehensive approach tocleanliness control, coupling high-efficiency filtration sys-tems for the removal of particulate contamination withvacuum dehydration purifiers for the removal of free anddissolved water, and diagnostic instrumentation for meas-urement of levels of particulate and water contaminationwill be discussed.

Thomas G. Barraclough and Daniel P. Walsh, Spectro Inc.The term “dynamic equilibrium” describes the process by

which particles of a given size range reach their own uniqueequilibrium level. It is these levels which can be used totrend and set alarms. This result is often not intuitively ob-vious when setting up an oil sampling strategy. This sessionrevisits some previously documented mathematical mod-els on this subject that show from first principles howparticles of a given size reach a ceiling value.

Jon P. Michel, engineering and maintenance manager,ArcelorMittal, and Richard Trent, technical field servicesmanager, Hy-Pro Filtration

In this case study session, learn how in a recent steel millrolling mill application, vacuum dehydration reduced thewater content of an 8,000-gallon reservoir from 29,000 ppm(2.8%) to 17,735 ppm (1.7735%) in one day. Over two weeks,the water content fell to 383 ppm (.0383%). Applying vac-uum dehydration also allowed the mill to end the decantingroutine, saving 25,200 gallons of oil (valued at approximately$201,600) annually and decreasing lubricant disposal costs.

Don Ehlert, manager of EPC sales and business development,Lubrication Systems Company

New technology always brings a learning curve, and oilmist has had its share of misapplications and misunder-standings. Systems installed in the 1960s over-lubricated,plugged up and were not reliable. During the late 1970sand into the 1980s, the systems were studied and exam-ined to better understand the shortcomings and what wasneeded to make them more reliable. With renewed interestand determination, the modern-day oil mist systems areextremely reliable. Come learn about oil mist and how itcan work for you.

You will learn the benefits of a lubrication programand how to get started on your own path toward success.

Stacy Heston, field services manager, POLARIS LaboratoriesReading an oil analysis report can be an overwhelming

and sometimes seemingly impossible task without an understanding of the basic fundamentals for interpretinglaboratory results and recommendations. This session willexplain the cause and effect relationships between certaintest results and how the changes or trends in these resultsaffect the maintenance recommendations made. It will alsostress the impact of accurate and complete equipment andlubricant information on the severity assigned to the report.Knowing the components of an oil analysis report and howthey relate to the condition of the component and the lu-bricant will take the mystery out of reading an oil analysisreport and allow users to make the most of the mainte-nance actions recommended.

Rich Wurzbach, president, MRG LabsThis session will discuss the challenges and options to

obtain representative and consistent grease samples frommotors, gears and other critical equipment. It also will intro-duce a new method for reliably and repeatably determiningchanges in consistency for samples of grease as small as 1gram, and efficiently preparing those samples for subsequentanalysis by oil analysis lab equipment to determine wear,oxidation, contamination and consistency conditions.

Learning Sessions

Samuel Bethea, director of North American maintenance andreliability, Campbell Soup Company

This session will examine how the application of processmanagement, Six Sigma and other facets can enhance main-tenance processes and the implementation of an optimizedmaintenance strategy. Driven by the need for improved sup-ply chain efficiencies such as lower inventories and byproducing to the demand schedule of customers, mainte-nance teams have had to become nimble and flexible in theirapproach to establishing maintenance efficiency. You’ll learnways to navigate the needs to satisfy customer demandswhile providing efficient maintenance systems. Methods ofintegrating maintenance best practice tools into the day-to-day manufacturing process to facilitate optimizedmaintenance will also be discussed.

Alain Pellegrino, reliability technician and senior technicalconsultant, Laurentide Controls

In recent years a lot of plants have invested in conditionmonitoring technologies. Many realized early successesand reduced downtime, improved availability and loweredmaintenance costs. But many investments haven’t realizedtheir full potential. We have new tools but still use them theold way. Using a real case study of a large zinc smelter, thissession describes the strategies deployed to improve a con-dition monitoring program through continuous improvementand measurement. You’ll see how these improvements im-pact the plant’s bottom line, and how small, continuousimprovements can change the way you do business into anew “business as usual” that is more efficient and cost ef-fective, directly impacting the bottom line.

Drew Troyer, Sigma Reliability SolutionsData is the difference between deciding and guessing. In a

benchmark study by the Aberdeen Group, 59% of top-quartileperformers utilize real-time and historical asset performancedata to drive decisions and actions, compared to 21% for thelaggards. Top performers report 88% OEE and 2% unsched-uled downtime, compared to 75% OEE and 18% unscheduleddowntime for the laggards. FRACAS is about leveraging datato improve decisions and is the process for gathering infor-mation about failures and other losses, analyzing them, andcreating and implementing corrective actions as required.

Unlike FMEA, which is predominantly utilized in the de-sign phase of the asset’s life cycle to hypothesize potentialfailure modes and effects, FRACAS is more “real world”and empirical. In this session, you’ll learn how to developa FRACAS system and then use the collected informationto drive equipment asset and manufacturing process relia-bility and profitability.

Julien Le Bleu Jr., SageGuides.comDecision trees – logical, visual tools that list relevant ques-

tions and likely outcomes – can be highly beneficial in leadingtrained operators to fact-based conclusions. To be useful, thequestions asked must be straightforward, such as those thatoperators are likely to run into on a regular basis (“Is the oiltoo hot?” “Is the level too low?” “Is there too much vibration?)The beauty of a decision tree methodology is that, if agreedto by management and followed faithfully by operating per-sonnel, it makes doing the correct thing clear-cut and easy.

Management will see better decisions and reducedmaintenance costs by incorporating decision trees into theoperating culture. For example, by training operators to usea logic tree for pump decisions, a petrochemical facility re-duced maintenance overtime by 30% by reducing thenumber of pumps that were not repaired on an emergencyor expedited basis.

John Crossan, former manufacturing and maintenance leader(recently retired), Clorox Corporation, and Randall Quick,engineering manager, Manufacturing Solutions International

Most companies still use the traditional approach of hav-ing elite groups solve problems, and then pass their solutionson to those who must now actually do the work. Using thisapproach, you can get to adequate performance. You mighteven get to good, depending on your definition of “good”. Butyou will never get to excellent. Excellence takes routine in-volvement at all levels, using problem situations as ways toinvolve and develop people, rather than just as issues tosolve. John Crossan and Randy Quick have worked on oper-ational and maintenance improvement at the shop-floor levelin plants for many years. In this session, they will describeways to build this routine involvement and development.

Dave Staples, business development manager, SKF Reliability Systems

In order to make predictions regarding bearing life, mostdo the L10 math. However, theory doesn’t always repre-sent reality. The bearing didn’t reach end-of-life because ofmetal fatigue; it failed sooner. It failed, perhaps, due to fac-tors not considered in the L10 calculation, like wear,contamination, misalignment, corrosion, or as a result ofcage, lubrication or seal failure. The L10 calculation is anolder theory based on traditional ISO and ABMA standards.This does not take into consideration operating conditionsthat are considered by newer calculations like the “NewLife Theory” or the “Adjusted Life Theory”. Bearing life canbe calculated with different degrees of sophistication and(as a result) accuracy, depending on the knowledge of thereal operating conditions and environmental variables. Thissession will take a look at these newer calculations.

Ned Mitenius, senior consultant, Periscope ConsultingShare everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Hold hands

and stick together. We learned these practices in kinder-garten and can apply the wisdom of them to life today. Thespeaker for this session learned maintenance and operationalpractices 30 years ago aboard U.S. Navy nuclear sub-marines, achieving greater than 99% system reliability. Thesepractices are directly transferable to manufacturing industrytoday. Design. Train. Clean machines. Follow procedures.Standardize. Lube. Listen. Inspect. Record/Analyze. Stock.Motivate. Be accountable. Drill. How can these practices beapplied today to your factory to improve your reliability?

Clay Calk, Lubrication Engineers Inc.Most maintenance professionals understand the impor-

tance of implementing or upgrading a reliability program,and they already have the knowledge and training aboutwhat to do and how to do it. Unfortunately, because of thedaily demands and responsibilities of their jobs, the need toincrease production outputs and the constant “firefighting”required to keep critical systems running, they often fail toallocate enough time to the strategic planning that is cru-cial to program success.

Strategic planning and key vendor partnerships can sim-plify the strategic planning process and provide theanswers to these questions, paving the way for a seam-less, turnkey program customized to fit the company’sreliability objectives. To be successful, the program shouldaddress the needs of the maintenance staff, source all ma-terials required for installation, ensure onsite assistancethrough all phases of implementation, provide educationand training to staff, and set up the metrics and trackingthat justifies the program’s overall cost.

Terry Harris, president, Reliable Process SolutionsIn this session, you’ll learn the various failure modes that

lead different components down the path to early wear-out.By using methods from RCM analysis and FMEA, you’ll ex-plore the failure modes of some basic equipment andequipment components in most industrial plant operations.For every example, a proactive or precision technique willbe presented and discussed. Can a motor last for 10 to 15years without failures? Can a bearing last 30 years withoutfailing? Can belts and chains last five to six years withoutfailing? These and many other components of plant operat-ing equipment will be studied. For every dollar you save inmaintenance due to improved equipment reliability, there isanother $5 to $10 added to the bottom line.

Johnny Bofilios, director of global asset sustainability, INFORIt is well known that there is a direct connection between

the reliability of assets and their consumption of energy. Infact, energy use is a leading indicator of predictive perform-ance of an asset. But what are the strategies to startmanaging and reducing your plant’s energy? Did you knowthat you can factor energy use with asset management tomaintain and extend the life of equipment and, therefore,lower your costs? In this session, find out the best practicesto integrate energy into your reliability and maintenancestrategies so you can start identifying, optimizing and au-tomating proactive maintenance, comparing both the assetperformance and its energy usage across your enterprise.This presentation will be based on case studies of a high-profile paper manufacturer, a well-known East Coastuniversity and a Tier 1 automotive manufacturer, who havealready reduced energy consumption by a minimum of 6%and reduced their carbon emissions at the same time.

Mark Goodman, vice president of engineering, UE Systems Inc.

Instruments based on airborne/structure-borne ultra-sound technology offer many opportunities for plant-widepredictive maintenance activities, ranging from determin-ing a lack of lubrication to locating compressed air leaks.Usually portable, these instruments are used to trend andanalyze bearing condition, detect leaks, identify electricalproblems such as corona, arcing and tracking, and identifypotential problems in operating mechanical equipment. Thispresentation will provide a brief overview of the technology,its applications and suggested inspection techniques.

Drew Mackley, product line manager, Emerson Process Management

In an increasingly competitive market, organizations arechallenged to run their plants more profitably and withgreater efficiency. Yet mechanical equipment deteriorates,causing a decrease in performance, a reduction in through-put and a rise in operating costs – or an unplanned shutdowngrinds production to a halt, resulting in a large loss in rev-enue. Deterioration in machinery health and performance isusually associated with misalignment or imbalance, corro-sion and wear, fouling, sediment buildup or poorly lubricatedparts. Detecting these underlying problems early allows youto correct issues before they affect your process, optimizingthe performance of your plant. In this session, we will focuson best practices for planning for and implementing the pre-dictive maintenance technologies and services necessaryfor cutting expense out of your maintenance budget. Real-world examples and case histories will be included.

Ellis New, senior management consultant, Productivity Inc.Moving from reactive maintenance to proactive mainte-

nance requires a whole new look at the way the maintenanceprocess is managed. To reach this goal, you must declare waron unplanned equipment downtime due to failure and build amaintenance organization unburdened by firefighting. Mov-ing from technical fixing to equipment management meanshaving reliable and available equipment providing the flexibil-ity necessary to substantially reduce costs and generateadditional income by increasing overall capacity.

In this session, we will look at what it takes to transi-tion from reactive to proactive by using the principles ofTotal Productive Maintenance in an accelerated and cost-effective manner. We’ll look at the pillars of TPM and howand when you implement them to get the biggest return inthe shortest period of time. Plus, we will talk about theproper use of predictive technologies and learn what is nec-essary to build strong, effective teams to support an overallequipment reliability improvement effort.

During this session we will explore:• The role of TPM in a lean implementation• The benefits of a team-based approach to equipment care• Root cause tools like visual management, checklist

and CMMS to guide your transition• The use of predictive maintenance technologies as

part of the overall effort• The importance of building people’s capabilities to sus-

tain the effort• The significance of having operators involved mainte-

nance activities• Transition metrics, standard work and proactive main-

tenance policies

Kevin Desrosiers, engineer, Anheuser-Busch InBevMaintenance practices and execution can't improve with-

out continuously measuring where you are and taking stepsto improve. But what are the right metrics or key perform-ance indicators? Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all"answer. A maintenance organization in the early stages willmeasure differently than one with a well-established pro-gram. If you are maintaining airplanes where a failure couldbe catastrophic, you will look at maintenance differentlythan you would for a series of pumps where there is re-dundancy and failures do not have a major impact.

In this session will discuss various maintenance KPIshow they can be used (or not used) when evaluating yourmaintenance program. You'll learn how to benchmark yourmaintenance program for both content and costs and dis-cuss what to do if people find ways to "cheat" the metrics.Plus, you'll learn how to use the KPI data to improve ratherthan as a hammer. Regardless of where you are in yourmaintenance evolution, you'll get several new ideas on howto improve their maintenance program.

Larry Hoing, reliability and engineering systems manager,Wells Dairy

Asset performance is the name of the game in everyone’sbook. The thought process is, if we can increase our assetperformance, which increases our return on net assets(RONA), then this will help us lower the total cost of goodssold and increase our profit margins. Simple, right? So, whyis it that a large number of companies never fully achievethe net positive results of the investment to improve theirassets, or if they do have some improvement, they cannotsustain it for any period of time? Have you considered yourpeople assets in the same way that you do your physical as-sets? Most every company mission or vision statementincludes the following sentence. “Our people are our great-est assets.” Is this really true? Do we really invest in andcontinuously improve our people assets? How many im-provement or updating activities did we do for them in thelast fiscal year? Oh yeah, that’s right, the training budgetwas the first thing to go in the budget-cutting process. Thefact of the matter is we cannot perform at a higher level ofasset reliability and not invest in a skilled, well-informed,well-educated and engaged workforce. The key for successin any reliability or lubrication program is the people.

Lubrication is the cornerstone for any reliability program.The cornerstones for a successful lubrication program arethe people. How do you invest in your people to make themsuccessful? How do you grow or revive a lubrication pro-gram? What are the keys to success? Attend this session;we will explore some of the possibilities of how to engagesome of your greatest assets – your people.

Jeff Shiver, managing principal, People and ProcessesIn a recent survey of more than 1,300 plant profession-

als in 40 countries, 62% said they either did not have apreventive maintenance program or are in the process ofbuilding one. Do you have a real program? A better ques-tion might be “How would my engineering and operations‘partners’ respond to a similar survey?” Can you truly meas-ure and communicate the success your PM programgenerates to ensure a favorable survey response fromthose partners? What would happen if you were asked thatquestion in a court of law? Does your CMMS data support“perceptions” or “reality”? Do you know if your data is theresult of “pencil-whipping”? Are the PM task activities the“right” work and value-added? How can you tell?

This presentation will address the components of a goodPM and methods to ensure the PM activities are executedproperly. In addition to the PM components necessary, learntools and techniques for establishing an effective PM process,adding a continuous improvement loop for optimization,measuring the value of the PM program and inspecting to en-sure the right execution. Understand why pencil-whippingoccurs and how to break the habit. Gain insights on commu-nicating and managing the perceptions with your operationsand engineering partners to eliminate disconnects so thateveryone is on board with the value your organization adds.

Strategies for Energy Management and Energy Reduction




Noah Bethel, VP of product development, PdMA CorporationThe ever-present emphasis on technological efficiency

is just one of several forces behind the pressure on com-panies to “go green” despite a trying economy. The ultimatecriterion that determines whether a motor is truly green isenergy efficiency. Technology, long the key to efficiency,can help resolve this issue through detailed computerizedanalysis of the motor, the power environment in which itoperates, and even its reliability.

Terry Haycraft, national reliability manager, Frito-LayEach 0.1 percent of equipment downtime reduction gets

tougher to get each year. As seasoned mechanics retirefrom Frito-Lay’s workforce, the company’s cannot affordthe “learning curve” for new mechanics. In many cases, ac-cording to this session’s speaker, there is no direct feedbackon corrective or preventive maintenance jobs in the CMMS.Frito-Lay needed tools to start the transition fromtime/usage PMs to condition-based predictive maintenanceand help it avoid the premature failure due to unnecessaryover-lubrication of equipment. This session will provide abrief overview of the company’s Alpha / Beta sites utilizingthe Ultraprobe 10000 and Utraprobe 201 Grease Caddy thatachieved enough positive results to quantify the implemen-tation of the predictive technology on a national level.

Paul Klimuc, national service manager, SDT North AmericaThis presentation will cover how ultrasound allows for

the effective inspection of steam traps and valves. It willalso explain the basic principles of how ultrasound detectsleakage and other basic faults.

Ramesh Gulati, asset management and reliability planningmanager, Aerospace Testing Alliance at Arnold EngineeringDevelopment Center

Most reliability programs focus on creating an effectivemaintenance program for existing assets. Those who havebeen involved with a Reliability-Centered Maintenanceanalysis project on existing assets know that some designscreate additional challenges that may have been avoided ifoperators and maintainers had an opportunity to provideinput based on resident knowledge and experience. Thissession will discuss how Arnold AFB/ATA capital projectmanagers and designers work in conjunction with opera-tors and maintainers to build reliability and maintainabilityinto new or modified assets. Attend this session and learnhow to truly optimize your life cycle costs.

Robert Apelgren, Reliability-Centered Maintenance analyst,ITT Corporation

There is a new focus in society for “going green” in al-most everything we do. Manufacturing is no exception andhas been negatively impacted by diverting funds to greeninitiatives. This generates no revenue and can carry in-creased cost, which affects a company’s competitiveviability. Many times, these diverted funds come from otherareas that have a heavy impact on reliability. Reliability isthe ultimate green initiative. Though rarely referred to as“green”, it is most beneficial to the company, consumer andthe environment. Reliability is achieved through the culmi-nation of training and various tools from reliability analysis,root cause, maintenance planning and scheduling, and pre-dictive technologies. Proper employment of these toolsleads to many “green” benefits, which include energy effi-ciency, waste reduction and increased productivity. In thissession you’ll learn how to employ Reliability-CenteredMaintenance effectively, how to set goals, and how to de-termine when to start investing in other green initiatives.

Claudia Faye, reliability engineer, AlcoaIf 85 to 97 percent of base life cycle costs are commit-

ted by the time that equipment is handed over tooperations and maintenance, then life cycle costs (equalto approximately 20 times the total installed cost) can bemost influenced during the capital process. However, 3 to15 percent of life cycle costs can be influenced outside thedesign, purchase, construction and installation of newequipment. How can businesses really affect their cost ofproduction? Attend this session and find out!

Wayne J. Chatterton, Ph.D, technical applications salesmanager, UtilX Corporation

On-line condition assessment analyzes the entire powersystem when current activity is at operating voltage. Noswitching operations or outage time occurs while this ca-pacitance testing is performed. The entire system isanalyzed, including cable, switchgear and any attachedtransformers or terminations. The responsive capacitancesensor can detect partial discharge (PD) activity, as wellas numerous pre-discharge events, such as the growth ofwater trees and defects in the cable or components. A lab-oratory-controlled PD occurrence will demonstrate howpre-discharge activity is visible numerous minutes prior toPD activity. Systems are graded from Level 1, where thecomponent is in excellent condition, to Level 5, where thecomponent is at the end of its useful life. The condition as-sessment technology is a useful tool to assist in prioritizingmaintenance tasks and facilitating a planned maintenanceprogram, as it provides critical performance data on thecondition of installed cables and components.

Ramesh Gulati, asset management and reliability planningmanager, Aerospace Testing Alliance at Arnold EngineeringDevelopment Center

This paper will discuss quality systems requirements forphysical asset management and what challenges are facedto establish an effective system that is compliant with in-ternational standards ISO 9000 and PAS 55. ISO 9000 is afamily of standards for quality management systems, in-cluding the management of physical assets. PAS 55 –Optimal management of physical assets is a Publicly Avail-able Specification published by the British StandardsInstitution. The latter gives guidance and a 28-point re-quirements checklist of good practices in physical assetmanagement. Asset management at the Arnold EngineeringDevelopment Center (AEDC), located at Arnold Air ForceBase, has been an ISO-certified organization since 2004.

Drew Troyer, Sigma Reliability SolutionsStandard operating and maintenance procedures can pro-

foundly influence the reliability of your equipment assets andmanufacturing processes. A recent study found that 70% oftop-quartile performers employ documented operating andmaintenance procedures, compared to 20% of the lower-quar-tile performers. Top-quartile performers enjoy an 88% OEE,compared to 75% for the lower-quartile performers. Theirdowntime is only 2 percent, compared to 18% for the lower-quartile performers. In another study, it was discovered that75% of what goes wrong in the factory is, in fact, human error.The same study revealed that lack of procedures tops the listof reasons why. In this session, we’ll discuss: why procedure-based maintenance is so critical to your success, how toconvert tacit knowledge into documented knowledge, andhow to deploy your preferred practices enterprise-wide.

Robert D. Corak, Eric J. Olson and Daniel P. Walsh, SpectroInc./QinetiQ North America

CMMS and LIMS software in typical deployments leavelarge gaps in a comprehensive condition-based PdM program.Their inability to connect oil analysis data, vibration, ther-mography and ultrasound measurements to asset history,operational condition, maintenance activity and root causeanalysis leave predictive tools limited in their analytical capa-bilities. The new capabilities of cloud connectivity (Internet)are changing the paradigm and asset owners can make main-tenance decisions based on holistic machine condition, bygiving them end-to-end data access. This session will focuson the benefits of an asset-centric system vs. the traditionalLIMS system and detail some significant advantages thatWeb-based systems can have over traditional systems.

Aqua Porter, vice president, strategic projects and businessresults for Corporate Lean Six Sigma Operations, Xerox Corporation

At its core, Lean Six Sigma is a change management ini-tiative. To successfully deploy Lean Six Sigma and sustainresults in the long term, organizations must create an en-vironment with reinforcing loops to encourage smartdecision making and facilitate momentum. In her keynoteaddress, Aqua Porter will discuss three areas critical to art-fully integrating Lean Six Sigma into a corporate culture:

The executive team creates a vision for using Lean SixSigma in an organization. Leading from the front involvesgetting hands dirty and empowering employees with re-sources to be successful. How do executive leadersbecome Lean Six Sigma champions?

Organizations need to embrace the upside-down and in-side-out communication flow created by social media.Information doesn’t always flow from the top anymore. Em-ployees use social networks to create a community andshare best practices with each other and peers in the in-dustry. How can organizations use this collaboration alreadytaking place to further Lean Six Sigma use in everyday work?

People are the most critical change agents, and culti-vating strong project teams is the key to innovation andimplementation. For Lean Six Sigma to take hold in the cul-ture of the ranks, employees must be engaged andconsulted. What is the best way to maximize the talent ofa team so it works at the highest potential?

Mark Steward, senior manager for lean productivity, large-scale food manufacturing company

In many ways, we are often blinded by those things thatare right in front of us. Our perception in day-to-day life iskey to discovering pockets of gold as we make our way ina life of continuous improvement. In this session, thespeaker aims to help you gain a set of “fresh eyes” to usein your daily life around the plant. The lessons explored inthis session were gained from years leading lean programimprovements at large manufacturing companies in thepower management and food products industries.

Jeff Slater, Operating Excellence leader, SonocoA consultant study of Operating Excellence productivity

projects at Sonoco showed that over a three-year span, ap-proximately 50% of the benefits were no longer beingachieved. Back-sliding and project erosion has made itharder for Sonoco to attain its net productivity goals. A good“rule of thumb” is that without a system to sustain the gains,an additional 15 to 20% per year of productivity projects willbe required to overcome erosion. A system locks in the gainsthrough: 1) Standard metrics to insure that gains are

sustained; 2) Standardized work to insure that the gains aredelivered everywhere; 3) Continuous improvement to iden-tify the next improvement to become the standard; and 4)Leveraging insures everyone understands the standard andnew potential improvements are identified. Attend this ses-sion and learn the keys to workforce productivity, methodsto attain management simplification and agility, and the man-ner in which to achieve standard performance through a leansystem across your company’s divisions and plants.

Darrin Wikoff, education facilitator, Life Cycle EngineeringLean manufacturing, Lean Six Sigma or simply just lean

are all common terms used in today’s manufacturing or-ganizations to describe a method of operationalimprovement. But what about maintenance and reliabilityimprovement? Do lean principles and practices apply to themaintenance system? In 2007, IndustryWeek reported that74% of companies engaged in lean efforts were not satisfiedwith progress being made and the subsequent results. Wenow understand that a significant risk to lean implementa-tions is the lack of a stable foundation for improvement. Thisinstability is a result of inadequate maintenance and relia-bility systems. In this session, participants will discoverhow lean principles can be applied to maintenance and re-liability to accelerate operational improvement results.

Eric Bigelow, lean industrial engineer and continuousimprovement expert, Yamaha Motor Corporation

This session will explore the subject of employee in-volvement and empowerment within a lean environmentusing a diagram that the speaker calls “Lean Agri-Culture”.The presentation will illustrate in a dynamic style the pos-sibilities and the successes that a company can experiencewhen the basic rule of kaizen is followed: People come first,and everything else comes second. The speaker will pro-vide examples of the concepts in action at Yamaha’s1,000-employee recreational vehicles plant in Newnan, Ga.

Kelly Moore, lean manufacturing leader, Syngenta Crop Protection

St. Gabriel, La., is home to Syngenta’s largest agrichem-ical manufacturing and formulation site in North America,and is comprised of eight continuous and batch chemicalproduction areas. In late 2006, a declining agrichemical mar-ket and generic competition drove Syngenta to a strategicdecision that the St. Gabriel plant would become a leanmanufacturing site. In early 2007, the facility took its firsttentative steps on its lean journey. Six months later, in mid-2007, an unexpected market uplift turned the journey into a

sprint. Syngenta will share the experiences and learningsgained from using traditional lean tools in a non-traditionallean manufacturing environment. The company’s continuedstumbling and victories prove that a lean journey is an on-going marathon and not a 50-yard dash. The Syngenta casestudy is a story of application of lean manufacturing princi-ples in a continuous process agrichemical world.

The 3 Critical Steps to Integrate Lean Six Sigma into a Corporate Culture


Robert B. Hafey, RBH Consulting LLCWithout trust, lean is a bust! A common requirement to at-

tain either world-class lean or world-class safety is theongoing engagement of the workforce. Lean thinkers allagree that it is this culture-changing employee engagementactivity that leads to long-term lean success. Too often, leanhas been employed as a cost-savings methodology by man-agement and, as a result, gaining employee interest andbuy-in can be at best difficult. This keynote session suggestsa different path to lean success – a safe path that focusesthe power of lean improvement on the universal topic ofworkplace safety. By utilizing lean thinking, along with someof the common tools in a lean thinker’s toolbox, and focus-ing on safety instead of cycle time, you can easily start tobuild an understanding and the acceptance of lean while youimprove safety in your facility. Lean has to be taught, andwhen you use safety as your textbook or road map, you willgain everyone’s attention. Everyone will rally around safetyfor it is and should be everyone’s first priority.

Examples and case studies of lean tool usage that si-multaneously drove safety and lean improvement will becovered in this session.

Many companies have implemented lean in their manu-facturing and business processes, with varying degrees ofsuccess. The challenge is often to capture and sustain thegains from lean improvements and then continue to im-prove. This session provides a case study of Raytheon

Missile Systems’ lean journey and the lessons learned alongthe way as the company:

• Invigorates lean and Six Sigma principles to eliminatewaste and reduce variation

• Implements lean management system principles toescalate and resolve issues and increase accounta-bility

• Fosters a culture of continuous improvement philos-ophy by connecting every employee to the businessthrough employee engagement

Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems (formerlyHughes Aircraft) has a lengthy history with lean and ele-ments of the Toyota Production System. The site has wonthe Arizona Governor’s Award for Quality; the U.S. Navydesignated the Agile Improvement Process as an “IndustryBest Practice”; Hughes was recognized by IndustryWeekwith an “America’s Best Plant” award; and in 2004 (nowRaytheon) won the coveted Shingo Prize.

Phil Coy, partner and chief technology officer, EWT“Green”, or environmental responsibility, has crossed the

tipping point to become a mandatory element of corporatestrategy. In challenging economic times, an open-endedmandate to “go green” cannot be sustained without consid-eration for bottom-line profit. While global warming,greenhouse gases and oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico get at-tention, creating a truly sustainable business requires thatevery resource needed to transform raw materials into yourend products and every waste generated be understood andquantified. This calls for a deep dive into each productionprocess and into your supply chain for the materials you use.

Lean thinking focuses deeply on processes and engageseveryone in continuous improvement, and “green” thinkingdoes the same. Hence, the opportunity is clear to apply leanin a “green” initiative. Attend this session and learn: the“green” implication to every “lean” type of waste, the “green”data you need to capture in your value streams, and howkaizens can be focused on environmental impact to providetransparency, planning and concrete bottom-line returns.

Do you struggle with applying popular lean tools basedon manual assembly cell or assembly lines to your large-scale product? Do you have trouble visualizing how to applystandardized work to a “job shop”? Have you struggledwith fitting lean concepts such as takt time, pull productionand “high-mix/low-volume mixed model production” toyour operation because you have large-scale product, long-duration machining cycle times and assembly times? Areyou a producer of large-scale parts or OEM productionequipment? Does your operation include batch operationsor does the thought of moving large-scale product or pro-duction equipment into a U-shaped cell not appear to bean option or cost effective? In this session, attendees willlearn “The Toyota Production System For ‘Large-Scale’ Pro-duction.” The speaker will present the secrets tostandardizing production for the custom or job shop envi-ronment in order to apply the concepts pull production, takttime, standardized work, lean material handling and mix-model production.
