This session will introduce an integral part of maintenance and reliability engineers’ responsibilities to capital projects. How this relationship and communication is important to get safe, reliable, and maintainable equipment installed when working with a capital project team.
In this session, leaders in plant maintenance from two major companies in the fuel and petrochemical manufacturing industry will discuss the advantages of a company-wide standard process for routine maintenance. Gaining alignment on a common work practice across a large and geographically diverse portfolio can be challenging, but the resulting organizational discipline can yield improved efficiency, reliability and decision-making. The speakers will provide a high-level overview of their routine maintenance processes and share key success factors for implementing a common maintenance work practice at multiple facilities.
Participants will:
Learn the major elements of a routine maintenance process
Hear examples of strategies for a successful wide-scale implementation
Ask questions to understand how a common work practice for plant maintenance can be applied at their company
