Reducing the Cost of Parts Procurement and Inventory Stores Using EAM Software by Randy Walker
CMMS-2005 Learning Zone Session
Computerized Maintenance Management Summit
July 26-29, 2005
Indianapolis Indiana
For most maintenance organizations, the quickest and most substantial “hard dollar” returns are achieved through the Inventory and Purchasing modules. While the accounting of Inventory cost tracking to Work Orders represented the initial focus of EAM/CMMS products, the Return on Investment is dependent upon sound Inventory Management and Purchasing procedures. Should your organization consider outsourcing the Inventory stores function or maintain the process in-house?

PdM-2005, the Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference & Expo
Please join us for PdM-2005, the Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference & Expo from September 19, 2005 through September 22, 2005 in beautiful downtown Atlanta Georgia.
Not since P/PM Magazine’s Predictive Maintenance National Conference sponsored throughout the 90’s by (and no longer in operation) has one event provided a venue for the technologies required for reliability machinery operation.
PdM-2005 will focus on:
• Vibration Analysis
• Airborne Ultrasound
• Infrared Imaging
• Motor Testing
• Oil and Wear Particle Analysis
• Other condition monitoring technologies
World class best practices indicate that up to 50% of your maintenance activity should be spent on condition directed tasks to replace ineffective time based maintenance. Finding and implementing the right combination of predictive maintenance and condition monitoring technologies is a challenge.
Like other Reliabilityweb.com conferences, PdM-2005 features a wide selection of pre- and post-conference workshops, 90 minute short courses, numerous learning zone sessions and plenty of networking opportunities with people who face the same issues you do on a daily basis.
All Condition Monitoring - All the Time!

The Age of the RCM Analyst - From Isolated Specialist to Integrated Knowledge Manager
Adapted from the book -The Maintenance Scorecard by Daryl Mather, Strategic-Advantages Ltd
When the RCM standard was published in 1999 it laid to rest many of the more contentious issues regarding what RCM is and what it isn’t. Finally there is a standard that companies can use to determine which process could legitimately call itself RCM, and therefore were more likely to represent the original intentions and focus contained within the RCM methodology. This was a crucial step in the evolution of the RCM method particularly as setting minimum criteria eliminates methods that are either counter-productive, with respect to the original RCM report, or even dangerous.
Recent studies, throughout the globe, have shown this to be a key issue for companies in their selection of RCM consultancy firms and this trend appears set to continue into the future. However, not all questions have been answered by the standard. One issue that is often debated is how to implement the process into modern asset management organizations. More…

Value Driven Maintenance - Creating shareholder value with maintenance by Remco Jonker
CMMS-2005 Learning Zone Session
Computerized Maintenance Management Summit
July 26-29, 2005
Indianapolis Indiana
“What is actually the added value of maintenance?” is a frequently heard question in boardrooms the world over. While there is widespread recognition that maintenance is often critically important, only few maintenance managers are able to answer the question convincingly.
Value Driven Maintenance® methodology (VDM) builds a bridge between traditional maintenance philosophies and managing by shareholder value. Not only does VDM simplify the boardroom discussion, it also shows that far from being a cost center, maintenance is actually a major economic value within the overall business performance.
DataStream, MRO-Software and SAP Europe are developing core functionality to support VDM adequately.
