Learn Best Practices in Equipment Reliability
How much are equipment problems costing your site?
Many facilities don’t know the answer to this important question.
To find out, calculate the cost of unplanned maintenance. Next, add the cost of unexpected downtime. Then, calculate the cost of unhappy customers who had delayed shipments. Finally, add in the cost of any accidents that occurred while repairing unexpected failures.
And don’t forget the overtime required to repair failures in the middle of the night!
These failures and their costs don’t have to be a part of your facility’s future.
You can reduce or eliminate unplanned downtime, achieve world-class equipment reliability, and improve your facility’s safety, productivity, and quality by implementing equipment best practices used by industrial leaders worldwide.
Where can you learn these techniques? At the 2014 Global TapRooT® Summit!
Here are just two of the highlights on the Equipment Reliability & Improvement track:
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Where is Your Equipment Reliability Program?
If you’re ready to evaluate your equipment reliability program, where do you begin? The first step is developing a fresh perspective. Mark Olson will be presenting ideas on how to take an objective look at your reliability program. Come and learn innovative techniques for developing a self-rating system to find out where your facility stands.
