November 18, 2005 Lean Maintenance Workshop by Ricky Smith, CMRP
The 20th International Maintenance Conference™
“Mastering The Maintenance Process”
December 6-9, 2005 - Tampa Florida
Enhance your IMC-2005 learning experience by registering for pre- and/or post-conference workshops. IMC-2005 already provides 12 hours toward CMRP and other professional Re-certification. Each workshop is valued at 6 additional hours of credit toward CMRP Re-certification. A certificate will be provided for each workshop.
You can register for each individual workshop or save money by choosing a 3 or 4 day IMC-2005 conference pass.
The Lean Maintenance Workshop is led by Ricky Smith, CMRP, author “Lean Maintenance”
What is “Lean?” Whether referring to manufacturing operations or maintenance, lean is about doing more with less: less effort, less space, fewer defects, less throughput time, lower volume requirements, less capital for a given level of output, etc. The need to provide the customer more value with less waste is a necessity for any firm wanting to stay in business, especially in today’s increasingly global market place. And this is what lean thinking is all about.
Lean Operations are difficult to sustain. More Lean Manufacturing Plant Transformations have been abandoned than have achieved true Lean Enterprise status.
There are solid and recurring reasons for both of these conditions. The most significant of these reasons is that production support processes have not been pre-positioned or refined adequately to assist the manufacturing plant in making the lean transformation. And the most significant of the support functions is the maintenance operation, which determines production line equipment reliability. Moving the maintenance operation well into its own lean transformation is a must-do prerequisite for successful manufacturing plant - or any process plant - Lean Transformations.
This Workshop provides detailed, step-by-step, fully explained processes for each phase of Lean Maintenance implementation providing examples, checklists and methodologies of a quantity, detail and practicality that no previous publication has even approached. It is required reading, and a required reference, for every plant and facility that is planning, or even thinking of adopting “Lean” as their mode of operation.
* A continuous improvement strategy using new “lean” principles
* Eliminate wasteful practices from your manufacturing or chemical processes, increasing the profitability of your plant
* Save thousands of dollars a year on new equipment by keeping your existing equipment maintained using this revolutionary method

November 18, 2005 Sheeve/Pulley Laser With Digital Readout
EasyLaser® BTA Digital2 is attached in a few seconds( using magnets) with the laser transmitter on one of the sheaves and the detector on the other.
The transmitter generates a laser plane parallel to the reference sheave. The detector reads the position in relation to the laser plane and provides a live digital display of both offset and angular value. This makes the alignment of the adjustable machine very simple.
The accuracy of the digital readout also means that you can align within prescribed tolerances and rely on the result.
November 18, 2005 Win a Harley from Electrophysics
To celebrate the new HotShot Infrared Camera that is “Made in America” , our friends at Electrophysics are offering Gadgets subscribers chance to learn more about low cost Infrared cameras and to register for a chance to win a new Harley motorcycle.
Once you see, hold and operate HotShot you’ll immediately “get it” and no other camera will do. Is HotShot the best infrared camera on the market today? Contact us today to schedule a demonstration and find out.

November 18, 2005 Predictive Maintenance : K6900 Spectra Scan
The new K6900 has it all! It combines all of the latest technologies to create the first predictive maintenance thermal imaging camera that fits in the palm of your hand. The K6900 integrates a high-resolution visible-spectrum camera and a laser pointer with a high-performance fully-radiometric infrared camera. All of this is packaged ergonomically for ease of use.
Get your maintenance problems in hand; try the power of the ISG K6900!
November 18, 2005 DLI Watchman® ST-101 Vibration Screening Instrument
The DLI Watchman® ST-101 will extend the capability of your operations and maintenance departments by providing clear, on the spot insight into your machine’s condition.
The ST-101 goes beyond the idiot light approach of traditional hand-held vibration overall RMS meters. Green and red bar graph segments show acceptable/unacceptable representations of machine vibration. The bar graph displays indicate vibration levels based on Acceleration, Velocity and Displacement measurements. Simple patterns on the bar graph displays aid in the identification of underlying machine problems such as unbalance, misalignment and bearing wear. In addition, a numerical display allows the user to log these readings for the purpose of historical data and machine condition trending.
The user simply attaches the magnetic mount accelerometer to the machine, presses a button corresponding to the machine’s operating speed, and reads the display. Problems such as imbalance, misalignment and rolling contact bearing wear have never before been so quick and easy to detect and identify.
• Plant operators and maintenance technicians can now alert predictive maintenance personnel of impending problems
• Monitor machinery traditionally too small or infrequently run to be included in a predictive maintenance program
• Small facilities can now implement a low cost predictive maintenance program
