SUMMARY:Keeping it Simple - Some Truths About Maintenance Processes
DESCRIPTION:In this second webinar\, featuring Reliability and Maintenance Management expert Christer Idhammar\, you’re going to get a glimpse into why “knowing why” is important in managing maintenance and how knocking bolts became the catalyst behind Christer’s philosophy. You’ll also learn some forgotten truths about managing maintenance processes. \nSpeakers \nChrister Idhammar is a world-renowned expert within Reliability and Maintenance. His career began in the Swedish merchant marine where he started developing fundamentals of his Results Oriented Reliability and Maintenance Management concept. During the last 40 years this concept has evolved during his time as mechanic crafts person\, engineer\, manager\, consult\, educator and philosopher\, reliability guru and company leader. As a consultant he started the Idhammar group of companies in 1972 and his own company IDCON INC in the US. His memoir “Knocking Bolts” details his journey’s throughout the world and how those experiences directly tie to Reliability and Maintenance.

SUMMARY:Reliable Plant and Machinery Lubrication Conference and Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:It takes more than just knowledge of key concepts and best practices to create or improve a reliability program. How many times have you attended a conference session and thought\, “This is good information\, but how can I actually apply it at my plant?” This year\, Reliable Plant 2023 is designed to help you do just that. \nEvery Workshop\, Keynote\, and Action Session is designed to provide you with practical plans and actionable advice you can apply immediately back at the plant. Other session formats will also be available\, such as live podcast episodes\, debates\, group exercises\, games\, tech demos and more. \nDon’t Miss  Charli K. Matthews’ presentation:\n\nReliability is a Behavioral Science: How Your Communication Style Affects Culture and Behavior\nDate: Wednesday\, August 2\, 2023\, 1:30 pm – 2:20 pm \nRoom: Grand Sierra Ballroom F-I | Reliability Stage \n\nThe problem in today’s leadership is that we don’t know how to create lasting change through influencing our teams to buy into our vision. This can be from solving workforce issues or launching a new product. Much of the issue is that we don’t effectively communicate the changes needed and why. In this keynote\, we will go through tips and strategies that will allow for effective communication within a team to get to the root cause of the roadblock(s). The result is a better chance of having team members’ ideas heard to create lasting change within their organizations.
