WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

With today’s shrinking qualified workforce, it’s common for plants to have their maintenance staff busy repairing “bad actors”.  Reliability Engineer Brad Lewis took a different approach in two separate plants.  Supported by Reliability Specialist Cindy Moblo, he developed a program to evaluate and correct the root causes of many of the failures his plants were experiencing. Once the root causes were determined, a step-by-step program was developed to resolve the issues.  This resulted in a dramatic reduction in maintenance costs and lost production.

Learning Takeaways:

• Focusing on bad actors
• More time should be spent evaluating the common root causes of failures (like lubricant contamination, product misapplication and varnish)
• Solving those issues
