Organization

Workshop Overview Maintenance’s key objective is to increase uptime without over-doing maintenance and the challenge lies in how to determine the right mix of Preventive Maintenance and Predictive Maintenance.

Many organizations are also facing key decisions on whether to repair or to replace aging physical assets. By utilizing life cycle costing and value engineering concepts, companies can fully capitalize on existing assets and save on unnecessary expenses.

ABSOLUTE BME’s 3-day intensive Masterclass “Effective Preventive, Predictive & Condition-Based Maintenance” is a practical “How-to-Do-it Guide” for implementing, measuring results and successfully applying today’s best practices for Preventive (PM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM), covering essential maintenance operations that range from equipment selection and maintenance interval planning to condition-based monitoring techniques and lifecycle costing. In addi-tion, delegates will be introduced to strategies that will enhance and improve PM & PdM – Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and Risk-Based Maintenance (RBM).

MAXIMISING THE VALUE

OF YOUR CMMS / EAM

Workshop Overview The ability of using Computerized Maintenance Manage-ment Systems (CMMS) to improve maintenance processes is very often limited after the actual purchase. Much depends on the people using the CMMS and the mainte-nance business process of which the system is part of. As many as over 90% of organizations are capable of improving an existing CMMS to reap greater value from an existing CMMS and achieve improved profit and customer-centered maintenance support to their total operation. In fact, surveys show that only about 30% of CMMS function-ality is actually being used effectively.

ABSOLUTE BME’s 2-day Masterclass on “Maximizing the Value of Your CMMS Systems” is guaranteed to help you gain better use of your CMMS and improve the utilization of CMMS in both the public and private sectors. The primary purpose is to help you improve your existing CMMS regardless of the vendor. It has universal applications and benefi ts, whether you are using SAP, MAXIMO or any of the many systems available. This course will help you improve all six maintenance resources; people, physical assets, technical skill resources, parts/materials, the hidden assets of teamwork and of course, information resources. Our goal is for you to get the best value possible from the CMMS you have or are intending to put in place.

Workshop Overview Any losses in Fluid Measurements are very large and non-recoverable. It must be understood that at this point of the business; mistakes of any kind with processes in place are very critical and extremely costly.

Only through arbitration and lengthy legal claims can the losses be redeemed and only partial of that. Proper practices, insurance of accuracy in operation and precise instrumenta-tion measurement up front before losses can occur is of para-mount importance.

Errors in flow measurements subject petroleum companies to significant financial losses. The type of work requires properly conducting and maintaining accurate fluid flow and/or static fluids measurement is restrictive and very specialized. Controlling losses up front is much easier than re-claiming losses incurred due to improper measurement. Few organizations within the oil industries and outside engineer-ing firms can understand and comply with such work.

The workshop is designed to provide an overview of all the major activities performed in industry using and applying measurement instrumentation for fluid flow and all types of fluid dynamics.

It is never an easy task to describe the working functions of any group of specialists contributing on a daily basis to main-tain and enhance effectively the key area of the company’s business – the accurate measurement and control of its prod-ucts to the customer.

The workshop will endeavor to provide specialist support, introduce sophisticated state of the art monitoring and measurement systems develop/recommend proper procedures and design standards in line with international bodies to ensure mistakes and/or losses of any kind are alleviated and/or minimized.

After completion of the workshop participants will be-come better aware and more familiar with the func-tions and field tasks of measurement instrumentations for custody fluid flow dynamic, fluid statics and loss control; as well as enhance the overall awareness.
