The Manufacturing Game at EAM/RCM-2006
Pre-conference Workshop
March 8
Part of EAM-2006 & RCM-2006
March 8-10
Las Vegas
The Manufacturing Game® is a proven tool for engaging the workforce in defect elimination. It gives participants a bird’s eye view of a manufacturing facility. They experience in a short time what could take years to experience in the “real world.” Actions launched as part of a workshop have typically resulted in 40% fewer failures and a third lower costs. Delivering world-class performance requires the engagement of the majority of the workforce in eliminating small defects before they become performance-limiting problems. The Manufacturing Game® inspires front-line workers to take action to eliminate defects, product rework and waste and the reactive work that these defects create.
The Manufacturing Game® has been used by over 175 companies worldwide and 29,000 people. DuPont, BP, Honda, Whirlpool and ExxonMobil are a few of the companies that have used The Manufacturing Game® to reduce failures and lower costs.
The workshop is designed to be attended by maintenance managers, mechanics, operations managers, supervisors, operators, planners, schedulers, inspectors, reliability managers, reliability specialist, materials procurement personnel, trainers and IT providers who need to better understand how maintenance and operations work in the plant.
Space is limited in this one day preconference workshop so please reserve your space today.

Electrical Motor Diagnostics for Generators
Part 1 – The Basics
ALL-TEST Pro, LLC
Electrical Motor Diagnostics (EMD) is a term for test methods and instruments designed for rotating and coil-wound machinery electrical and mechanical analysis. These instruments are used for all motor system related analysis from the generator and prime mover, through the transmission and distribution system, to the electric motor and driven load. These technologies, for the purpose of this paper, will include Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA), a de-energized test method, and Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA), a more advanced method of Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA).
In this paper, we will discuss the concepts behind the testing and analysis of both salient and turbine generators to detect some common generator faults. These faults include bearings, winding shorts in the rotor and stator, insulation to ground faults in the rotor and stator, exciter faults, misalignment and rotating field eccentricity. More…
