SMRP18 – Planning and Scheduling with Jeff Shiver
Planning and Scheduling with Jeff Shiver
Planning and scheduling is a term often used in the organizations. It might be used together but there is a difference in ‘planning’ and ‘scheduling’. Planning is when you determine what jobs you have to do, develop a procedure to execute the job, assign resources, and then utilize those resources in the best way possible. Only when you have successfully planned a work-order, you can decide when to do it in the scheduling part. So both the processes go together and one can’t be completed successfully without the other. Only scheduling something is not going to help you successfully implement it.

Implementing a CMMS with Jeff O’Brien
When an organization decides to replace or transition all of their storage data onto a CMMS, it is not just about making the work easier and efficient. You can’t just buy a software online and the expect it to solve your maintenance issues and reduce cost. CMMS is just a tool to improve your work order by properly integrating it with your current data systems and then plan your work so that you would not have to make uninformed decisions anymore. You will have all the data to help you make an intelligent decision, save time, and reduce your maintenance cost in the end.

SMRP18 – Precision Alignment with Adam Stredel
Precision Alignment with Adam Stredel
Precision alignment plays a vital role in preventing premature failures and keeping the equipment up and running. Precision alignment can be defined as when the rotation with the center-align of the equipment is as collinear as possible. There can be a tolerance in the alignment depending upon the operating conditions. There are different types of tools to measure the misalignment but precision alignment using the laser is becoming trendy in the organizations. They are moving from old tools like straight edge and want to make sure that there is accuracy in the measurement. Even a dial indicator works just fine for alignment.

SOR 375 HALT Versus ALT
HALT Versus ALT
Abstract
Chris and Adam discussing HALT and ALT. What are these? HALT stands for Highly Accelerated Life Testing. ALT stands for Accelerated Life Testing. They sound very similar. But they are not. HALT is a destructive test regime. In fact, a good HALT plan will involve that product failing many times. This is done by subjecting the product to stresses (vibration, thermal cycling et cetera) well beyond actual operating stresses. Some of the failures this creates will not be relevant. That is, they will simply never occur when the product is used ‘normally.’ But many failures are relevant. And by undertaking HALT, we now have a good idea of which failure mechanisms and modes are likely to occur when it is used normally. And this information is incredibly valuable to a design team. ALT on the other hand starts with a failure mechanism you know about. And in a short period of time, you can predict how long that failure mechanism will cause your product to fail when used normally.

Leadership plays a vital role in the success of any initiative and contributes to the overall success of an organization. A good leader can make it easier for people to accept the change and derive that change to the benefit of everyone involved. Good leaders always motivate people and that is only because they have exceptional communication skills along with being a role model for their fellow colleagues. A good leader always knows how to communicate and he plans ahead for how the communication process should go if he is to get his message across in an effective way.
