PACE: Process and Critical Equipment
The key to optimising asset performance efficiency and management is by integrating the equipments,
processes and people.
Join me for a great learning experience. I will be the keynote and will presenting a paper as well. We have some great talent attending, see you in Dubai.
John Day developed a proactive maintenance process in 1978 and manage maintenance and engineering at Alumax Mt. Holly and later at Alcoa Mt Holly for over 20 years. These are the slides he presented at the 1997 SMRP Conference. Great slides with great information. If you would like the slides and not PDF send me an email at rsmith@maintenancebestpractices.com. I worked for John Day back in the early 1980s which started my journey in Proactive Maintenance.
Where is your current PM Program? Where are the gaps? This maturity matrix focused on Preventive Maintenance is the most updated one anywhere. Some of the brightest minds in Maintenance and Reliability, world-wide, contributed to the development of this latest version.
Do you know the current gaps in your lubrication program? If not use this maturity matrix to identify the gaps based on known best practices. This is one great tool anyone can use who are looking to optimize their lubrication program. Review the matrix with your maintenance staff and ask for their comments.(comments by a maintenance staff will give you an indication of their lubrication knowledge)
This course is focused on repeatable and effective work procedure development. If your organization does not possess or needs to update effective, repeatable maintenance procedures then this training is for you or someone in your staff.
Stop human induced failures, lack of repeat-ability in maintenance work, and insuring when someone retires you have their knowledge in the form of procedures is critical to the success of any organizations. Lack of effective, repeatable procedures creates high variation in maintenance work execution.
Maintenance and Reliability leaders always talk about their best maintenance person and how much experience they have. With effective, repeatable procedures you would capture that experience, knowledge and skill in a procedure.
When one has repeatable, effective procedures and a failure occurs the worst thing that could happen is a procedure is changed or updated.
Craft skills are key to the success of any maintenance organization. Determine the current maintenance craft skill maturity in your organization today and begin the journey to success. If you do not know the current maturity level of your current maintenance craft skills use this Craft Skills Maturity Matrix to determine the maturity level of maintenance skills in your organization.
If an organization does not hire or train the right people, to the right skill level, optimizing Reliability will not occur.

About the course
A key component of production cost is maintenance and the key role of maintenance is to guarantee the reliability of the
production. The crucial element for ensuring that maintenance is cost effectively delivered is the planning and scheduling of
maintenance tasks.
Given the huge impact maintenance management can have on production output, as well as the increasing tendency for
maintenance departments to be asked to do “more with less”, it is essential that maintenance professionals strive toward the
implementation of best practices in maintenance planning.
Ron Moore, author of Making Common Sense Common Practice, quotes benchmarking studies that show that reactive
maintenance correlates strongly with poor plant or facility performance. Yet many companies are still operating in this firefighting mode.
A proactive approach means that we regain control of the work we do and it’s timing. This leads to improved safety and
availability. This course provides a methodology for: pre-planning routine maintenance tasks generated by predictive and preventive maintenance programs, planning tasks to recover from malfunction or breakdown and a strategy to allow us to cope with random failure. The course will cover the essential steps we need to take to plan and schedule our maintenance work properly. That will help maximize the proactive content and further our goal of achieving best-in-class performance
In summary, this 3-day intensive training course will help maintenance professionals to:
Develop the ability to produce logical and comprehensive maintenance plans using a systematic and structured approach.
Produce work schedules that optimize Plant Availability.
Enable high productivity and effectiveness of the workforce by proper work preparation.
Plan the ‘unexpected’; managing trips, breakdowns and other unwanted incidents, smoothly and efficiently.
Who Should Attend
Maintenance Managers, Engineers, Planners, Schedulers, Supervisors and Senior Technicians.
Individual Attention and Post Training Support
• Delegates will get individual attention, working in teams of four.
• Additional skilled and experienced trainers will be brought to help, if the numbers are larger, so as to maintain the teams
to trainer ratio at about 4:1.
• Participants will have email access to the trainer 3 months post training for any questions on implementation issues.
Why is it only 2-4% of companies in the World have a true World Class Maintenance Operation. This process requires all maintenance and reliability processes to be optimized,
repeatable, sustainable, and effective.
A DILO (Day In the Life Of)is a great way to begin the conversation of current state of a position and future state of it. I challenge everyone to sit down with their maintenance team and re-write what I have written for a Proactive Maintenance Tech.
What metrics do you use for Maintenance Planning and Scheduling? Check out the metrics in this maturity matrix and see how they compare. This is Maturity Matrix 1 of 2 for Maintenance Planning and Scheduling.

Repeatable, effective maintenance procedures are seen as “not required” however this couldn’t from the truth. Over my career I have seen thousands of examples of human variation creating equipment failure at the wrong time. We as humans are built to produce variation in almost everything we do. Most people deny this human variation exist however when I ask a manager if they ever could not find their car keys they look at me sheepishly and say “yes, great point”.
Many companies honestly believe there maintenance staff are paid to “know how to do it” without a procedure with specifications, step by step instructions, etc. What if a maintenance employee does “know how to do it” every-time? One must take into consideration their skill level, current state mind, and current working condition, in order to mitigate human error. In addition, what would happen if new information presents itself based on failure data? The only way to insure this new information is used effectively would be to write or change a procedure.
Well-designed maintenance procedures will mitigate human induced failures and allow for continuous improvement to occur naturally.

How many organizations accept Hydraulic Leaks because they do not understand how hydraulic leaks is a major source of contamination to any hydraulic system. Use this Tool Box Talk to educate your maintenance staff.
Equipment Taxonomy for the Collection of Maintenance and Reliability DataRicky Smith CMRP, CMRT
ISO 14224 defines the standard for equipment taxonomy or the grouping of equipment in order to collect and disseminate good maintenance and reliability data in order to manage any maintenance or reliability organization effectively. Collection of good equipment data is key to any failure elimination and mitigation program or maintenance management program.
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).

How to know if your maintenance planning and scheduling is not effectiveRicky Smith CMRP, CMRT
Many times companies have Maintenance Planning and Scheduling however it is not effective as they like it to be. This article helps anyone who is struggling the Planning and Scheduling with a few ideas.
If you have questions email me at rsmith@worldclassmaintenance.org
A proactive maintenance technician is a highly trained professional who is an expert in his or her skills area, has knowledge of other skills areas, including safety and production, and has a desire to learn more. This professional knows and can
implement a failure-modes driven maintenance strategy for any piece of equipment.
A proactive maintenance technician uses knowledge and experience to ensure the maintenance process is optimized by making constructive recommendations to
management concerning improvement areas.
To ensure success, a proactive maintenance technician is proactive in everything he or she does. This person constantly reviews information to ensure procedures are accurate and issues are resolved quickly and does what is required to ensure the work is repeatable. Such a professional leads by example and takes responsibility for training new employees on how to be a proactive and effective maintenance technician.
The objective of the Parts Checkout process to ensure the right part is in stock when required by Maintenance / Operations to provide Production with Reliable Assets.
> Parts / Material Checkout Guiding Principles:
•All parts/material used for an asset will be charge to the asset via a Work Order
•No blanket work orders – blanket work orders lead to lack of failure information due to failure threads of like parts/material
•Overnight ordering of parts is an exception and not the general rule
•The Materials Management Process will be managed with Leading and Lagging KPIs

Best Maintenance Lubrication Practices are essential to
optimal life for ball and rolling element bearings.
There are four factors that are important when
lubricating bearings:
1. What type of lubrication?
2. How much lubrication?
3. How frequently should lubrication be applied?
4. How should the lubrication be applied to ensure
contamination control?
... and so much more covered on this document
Maintenance Planning and Scheduling is critical to success of any Maintenance Organization resulting in a significant increase in Wrench-time (Hands on Tool Time). Planning and Scheduling are two distinct functions which are dependent on each other.
Top 7 Reasons why Maintenance Work Orders are Closed Out AccuratelyRicky Smith CMRP, CMRT
Closing out work orders accurately is critical for leadership to make the “right decisions at the right time with accurate data” and it can only occur if work orders are “Closed with the Right Information/Data”.
If metrics and Key Performance Indicators are so important where are people pulling the data from without their work orders having the right data on them when they are closed into that dark hole called the CMMS or EAM.
Without good data you are lost and probably are making decisions based on passion and not facts.
Very few organizations pay attention to hydraulic leaks and how they can impact production capacity, asset reliability, and reactivity when a mitigation strategy is in place.
This Tool Box Talk may help you take that next step.
Most companies spend a lot of money training their maintenance personnel to troubleshoot a hydraulic system.
If we focused on preventing system failure then we could spend less time and money on troubleshooting a hydraulic system. We normally except hydraulic system failure rather than deciding not to except hydraulic failure as the norm. Let’s spend the time and money to eliminate hydraulic failure rather than preparing for failure.
Preventive Maintenance - Actions performed on a time- or machine-run-based schedule that detect, preclude, or mitigate degradation of a component or system with the aim of sustaining or extending its useful life through controlling degradation to an acceptable level. (Definition Source: SMRP Best Practices)
Maintenance Skills Training for industry is a hot subject right now. In many areas of the country, companies are competing for skilled maintenance personnel.
“A Deloitte study found that the skills gap may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions unfilled between 2018 and 2028, with a potential economic impact of $2.5 trillion”
The skill level of the maintenance personnel in most companies is well below what industry would say is acceptable. In the past, I have been involved with the assessment of the skill level for hundreds of maintenance personnel in the U.S. and Canada and found 80% of the people assessed scored less than 50% of where they need to be in the basic technical skills to perform their jobs. The literacy level of maintenance personnel is also a problem. In some areas of the United States we find that up to 40% of maintenance personnel in a plant are reading below the eighth grade level. After performing the Gunning FOG index, we find the reading level for mechanical maintenance personnel should be the twelfth year level and electrical maintenance personnel the fourteenth year level (associate degree).
Much has been written about lean manufacturing and the lean enterprise—enough that nearly all readers are familiar with the concepts as well as the phrases themselves. But what about lean maintenance?
Is it merely a subset of lean manufacturing? Is it a natural fall-in-behind spinoff result of adopting lean manufacturing practices?
Much to the chagrin of many manufacturing companies, whose attempts at implementing lean practices have failed ignominiously, lean maintenance is neither a subset nor a spinoff of lean manufacturing. It is instead a prerequisite for success as a lean manufacturer. This article will explain why.
Every wondered what the life of a Proactive Maintenance Technician looks like. This article was written based on my experience as a Proactive Maintenance Technician.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Why You Cannot Miss This Event:
Engineers have common objectives when managing assets –
ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, reliability, flow and uptime across
industries and sectors. Particularly today when many of the assets
vary in age and capability but are expected to operate beyond their
original intended life span, it is crucial for you to be equipped with
skill-set to maximise equipment lifecycle, improve operational
efficiency and increase reliability. It is vital for operators to have a
complete picture of the assets to ensure the highest productivity
whilst reducing breakdowns, failure and equipment damage.
With the continuous success of our annual engineering events, we
are proud to present you with PACE: Process and Critical
Equipment forum, the first cross-functional streamed event with 2
tracks – Critical Equipment Management and Process Optimisation.
In this dynamic forum, we highlight on core contributors, benchmark

environments by exploring equipment design, maintenance, processes
and asset replacement strategies. Within the stream on Critical
Equipment Management, expect to be enlightened on inspection,
reliability, operational and maintenance excellence aspects of critical
equipments. Conversely in the Process Optimisation stream, you will
uncover best practices on equipment design evaluations,
troubleshooting, process simulation and debottlenecking to accelerate
your plant’s operability.
