Workshops 1:
9:00-12:00 - Lean Maintenance and Total Productive Maintenance
Cliff Williams, Kraft Canada
In an effort to improve plant reliability and reduce manufacturing costs, more maintenance experts are evaluating whether Lean Manufacturing practices may be applied to maintenance operations. The implementation of Lean methodologies requires the identification of customer needs, the establishment of measures, an analysis of value vs. waste, and monitoring of performance measures. This presentation will outline the principles of Lean and give examples of Lean techniques as applied in maintenance. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is the medical science of machines and is a maintenance program who's goal is to increase production while increasing employee morale and job satisfaction. TPM refocuses maintenance as a crucial part of the business structure instead of a non-profit activity. The crucial tenet is to keep unscheduled and emergency maintenance to a minimum. This session will discuss the different aspect of TPM and why it may be suitable for your organization.
· General discussion of “Lean in the maintenance group” and of “maintenance in Lean”
· Seven forms of waste (muda)
· Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED)
· Lean Manufacturing's five steps
· Pros and cons to other maintenance programs
· How to reduce costs in the long term
· TPM targets: zero defects, zero breakdowns and zero accidents
· Avoiding defective goods
· Implementing TPM: where to begin

Come explore GSK's state-of-the-art installations and see why it has earned a strong reputation for maintenance excellence.
Workshop 2 Living RCM Living RCM is a process for improving reliability safely at minimal cost, as it helps maintenance organization identify the most appropriate maintenance for specific assets based on the organization's current level of awareness. The Living RCM process involves continually improving and updating the Reliability knowledge database created by the RCM process. This workshop will give you practical insight into the implementation and application of Living RCM. ? Capturing and then analysing all information pertinent to asset failures in a very structured manner ? Using the RCM decision logic to arrive at the most effective failure management policy for the asset ? Building your organization's Reliability Knowledge Database ? Using the right information to fuel reliability analysis, which, in turn will drive measurable maintenance performance improvement ? Benefits of the Living RCM process ? Linking the reliability knowledge database to the organizational CMMS
