Thought you knew everything that went into the Super Bowl? Well think again! Here is an infographic with some fun maintenance facts we bet you never thought of.
Polly lost her favorite red jacket and went with her brother Thomas to look for it. They searched Polly's room, the front yard where Polly had been playing with her red umbrella, and the cubby house, but couldn't find the jacket. Just as they were giving up and going inside, they heard a strange sound and found their friend Katie running toward them with Polly's red jacket, which she had left at Katie's house. Polly was very happy to be reunited with her lost jacket.
Eduardo Chaves argues that new mindsets are needed to effectively address global challenges like climate change and that education is key to developing these mindsets. However, education must look beyond single issues and instill a systemic, global perspective in students. It should help students see problems from a worldwide citizen perspective rather than from the perspective of their own nation. Chaves believes the solutions to major issues will come not just from governments but from networks of governments, businesses, NGOs, and individuals working together with this transformed global mindset.
The document discusses suicide rates among teens and young adults. It notes that suicide is one of the leading causes of death for those aged 15-34 in many countries. While suicide rates in the US and Sweden for this age group are relatively low compared to European averages, Russia has the highest rate among youth, followed by several other Eastern European and Baltic countries. The document also mentions that for every suicide among youth, there are estimated to be between 10 to 20 suicide attempts.
George Carlin offers advice on staying young at any age in this inspirational message. He notes that as children we look forward to getting older, but that changes as the decades pass - we become 21, turn 30, push 40, reach 50, and hopefully make it to 60. The key is to stay active mentally and physically, surround yourself with positivity, and cherish your relationships and health. Most importantly, live fully and take time to appreciate life's breathtaking moments.
The document discusses three major problems in verification: specifying properties to check, specifying the environment, and computational complexity. It then presents several approaches to addressing these problems, including using coverage metrics tailored to detection ability, sequential equivalence checking to avoid testbenches, and "perspective-based verification" using minimal abstract models focused on specific property classes. This allows verification earlier in design when changes are more tractable and catches bugs before implementation.
Tom Caswell presented on open educational resources (OER) and their potential to increase access to higher education while lowering costs. He discussed the "iron triangle" of higher education where improving one factor like access negatively impacts quality or cost. However, OER which are openly licensed educational materials that can be freely used and adapted, may help break this constraint. By openly licensing educational content created with public funds, OER allow for non-rivalrous distribution at nearly zero cost, benefiting both students and institutions. The Washington State Board has launched an Open Course Library of OER for high-enrollment courses to reduce costs and improve student outcomes.

Benefits of Mobile Technology on Mission-Critical AssetseMaint Enterprises
The maintenance world is changing. Technicians no longer have to be tied to their desks -- they can now work smarter and faster using mobile devices in the field. Along with increasing efficiency, utilising mobile computerised maintenance management software (CMMS) helps organisations better manage maintenance on mission-critical assets by improving visibility to asset health and work performed, reducing downtime, providing real time updates and improving communication and safety. This presentation will cite industry research and case studies that detail the benefits and impact of adopting mobile CMMS technologies.
Explore the underlying principles that any organization can use to develop their own asset hierarchy. With the right asset hierarchy, an organization can endeavor to improve asset performance through such Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) activities as Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
Experts estimate that up to 80 percent of computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) implementations fail to meet expectations. Don't want to become part of this statistic? Follow these 10 steps to a successful CMMS implementation to ensure that yours is one of the success stories.
Wind energy has grown by 29.7% (on average) every year over the past decade, and if that exponential rate of growth continues, the US could derive 20% of its energy from wind by 2020.
Today in manufacturing, there in an untenable lack of skilled workers throughout manufacturing, and unlike the end of WWII, manufacturers are keenly seeking women to fill the gap.
Learn the importance of defining performance metrics and how you can utilize them in eMaint X3. Gil Acosta discusses which metrics are key measures of success for any maintenance operation, and how to determine which metrics are important for your organization. He then discusses how these measures can be derived from the data within your CMMS, and what types of data will drive performance and results.
Greg Perry, a consultant from eMaint, presented on how asset management systems can help drive operational excellence. He discussed that a CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) is software that tracks assets, work orders, parts, and other maintenance-related functions. It allows organizations to extend the life of assets, perform proactive maintenance, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction and work processes, and meet regulatory standards. The presentation included case studies of different organizations that achieved benefits like increased visibility, accountability and productivity by implementing a CMMS.
Implementing a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is an ongoing journey. Implementing the software is just one component. Workflow process development, standard operating procedure generation, establishing a team, training and process auditing are equally important aspects of the implementation process. These slides introduce the Top 10 Keys to Success in CMMS Implementation.
This document discusses foundational data and data integrity for asset management systems. It defines foundational data as static information that uniquely describes elements in the system, like asset records, locations, bills of materials, and maintenance plans. Good foundational data has standardized taxonomies, specifications, and hierarchies to classify assets, parts, and other information. The document outlines why building foundational data ad hoc as problems arise is problematic and recommends taking a planned approach to data standardization, cleanup, and ongoing maintenance. It emphasizes that foundational data is a valuable corporate asset and key enabler for decision-making.
