Boost Equipment Performance, Save Money With Proactive MaintenanceJames Fitzgerald
Proactive, timely maintenance of plant equipment is critical to enabling manufacturers to meet a dizzying number of demands, from pressure to achieve target output levels, minimize labor costs, control parts spending and ensure maximum uptime. Manufacturers rely on their maintenance departments to help achieve these goals on a daily basis. However, a great number of manufacturers still use maintenance on a reactive basis rather than viewing it as strategic to operations. Myrtle Consulting helps manufacturers convert maintenance into a proactive, scheduled operation that is used strategically to control costs, maximize uptime, and maintain critical equipment. By following a few fundamental principles, plants can begin to establish a maintenance improvement program that supports operations and improves plant performance.
Estimation is critical to IT demand management as today's senior IT executives deal with a familiar challenge - how to balance the size of the development team with the company's software wish list. Modern estimation techniques offer critical insight into this challenge. In this presentation, you will learn the ins and outs of estimation and how to effectively utilize estimation to ensure project success.

Stop Maintaining Multiple Test EnvironmentsTechWell
Today, most of us struggle with non-production environments. Either the test data is not right or consistent, the dependencies are mismanaged, or “They just aren't quite like production.” Instead of striving for simpler environments, most organizations add test environments―pre-prod, UAT, stage, QAB, and so on. And they end up spending more and more time troubleshooting and maintaining environments rather than building and learning. It does not have to be this way. Joel Tosi shares his experience working with many large organizations in paths that start with DevOps and continuous delivery yet ultimately lead to the need to simplify test environments. Using simple examples and communication, Joel explains how teams should stop pushing applications through environments but rather pull them through tests. Leave with a fresh perspective on how you can simplify your testing strategies and ultimately stop creating and maintaining separate test environments.
