In the sphere of preventive maintenance (PM), there is a cost for doing nothing. You are gambling with time and money, increasing the likelihood of higher costs in lost production and repairs when equipment eventually breaks down.

This course introduces fundamentals of PM and its reason for being: providing safe, reliable equipment and support by reducing the need for maintenance services.

Topics include: 

• The evolution of maintenance
• Five-level spectrum of PM, from firefighting to maintenance reduction
• Characteristics of world-class maintenance
  • Equipment strategy
  • PM (misconceptions, machine loss categories, types of failure)
• Creating a maintenance task list

Learners will participate in group discussions, as well as share best practices and struggles.

It is a two day event: July 15 & July 16: 8:00AM – 12:00PM

Human nature typically influences people to solve problems in a vacuum. The consequential risk is devising ineffective solutions that are temporary bandages.

The A3 approach forces engagement of all people involved in the matter at hand, requiring constant dialogue throughout the problem-solving process. This course walks learners through this “standardized storytelling” model of fostering communication and collaboration to resolve an issue. It details the steps for populating the A3 tool – an 11 x 17 sheet of paper – and subsequent facilitation of conversations.

The course utilizes a case study to enable the application of concepts throughout the day. After learning each element of the A3 process – from defining the problem and documenting root cause, to assessing the outcome and all stages in between – participants work in small groups to build their own A3 report.

It is a 2-day event: July 28 & July 30: 8:00AM – 12:00PM
