Fluid Couplings or VFDs?  Traditional or modern?  Which choice is best?

• Maintenance and Plant Managers are faced with the challenge of deciding to stay with Fluid Couplings or switching to VFDs when the Fluid Couplings reach end-of-life.  The challenge often faced is selecting the correct replacement option whilst minimizing risks. Do Fluid Couplings offer an advantage in today’s electrically dominated world? This class will present the basic working principles, advantages, and disadvantages of using a mechanical / hydraulic system as compared to an electrical solution.

How to Justify your PdM Program in Today’s Environment with Real Data

• There is a need in today’s environment for optimization and continuous improvement in the predictive maintenance (PdM) world, along with justifying a program. This need is based upon increased reliance on PdM to contribute to lowering unplanned downtime, prevent significant equipment failures, reduce resources for maintenance, and manage the risk associated with maintenance activities. This presentation will go over several Case Histories to not only identify the failure mechanism, but to show real data, from customers, on potential savings (avoided downtime and lost production costs) used to justify a PdM program.
• Presented by: Theo Wachowski, Reliability Engineer, HECO & Jonathon Lowis, Reliability Specialist, HECO

LUBExpert Implementation Master Class (90 MIN LONG)

• It is a well-known fact amongst reliability engineers that poor lubrication practices contribute to unreliable assets and if we can get this one task right our motors, pumps, gearboxes, and fans will deliver value indefinitely. But what we know and understood at the engineering level is not always conveyed to management and it is this audience that needs to grasp what is at stake when we don’t grease bearings right. Therefore, the LUBExpert Master Class ADVOCATE is a 90-minute workshop designed to open the eyes of managers and executives to the potential they are missing by not insisting on world-class precision lubrication. 
  
  This certificate course, followed by a short 20-question exam, is a must for every decision maker to become an advocate for reliability improvement. Now, lubrication engineers, technicians, managers, and executives can become equal advocates for precision lubrication practices. To be confident in explaining what they do and why, and to be the knife that spreads culture change throughout the organization. 
  
  Key Learning Points:
  
  • Importance of Lubrication
  • What might be the problem with current practices
  • What is the cure for problems in current practices
  • Condition based lubrication as a solution
  • Significance of LUBExpert strategy
  • Benefits of LUBExpert strategy
  • Role of each stakeholder
  • What is needed for a successful program
  
  I hope you will choose to join me for this important workshop at the RPM Symposium, September 13th, 2022 1PM – 3PM 
• Presented by: Allan Rienstra, CEO, SDT Ultrasound Solutions

"Now What?"  A Post Training Question

• This session will take participants through the steps to implement what is taught after a training course. The session will discuss both implementation and sustainability of the skills learned and how to keep these skills within the facility.  The focus is on what to do next, to ensure return on investment and proper behavior change of skills taught. Why would you spend money on training if you don't expect a return on that money?
• Presented by: Terry C. Southall, Strategic Account Manager, Reliability Solutions
