What if laser alignment systems could automatically adapt to different assets, simple-to-complex alignment challenges, and any user's skills and experience? Such adaptability is the hallmark of a new generation of laser alignment technology. With it, alignment jobs get done faster and with higher precision. In this webinar, Keith Chuah, Fluke Reliability Sales & Application Engineer for Prüftechnik, explains what adaptive alignment means, how it can address the problems occurring with today's machines, and how it can work for your organization.

Well-connected management teams effectively drive their Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) programs by utilizing key performance indicators (KPIs) and aligning them with broader business-level metrics. These teams understand that the success of a CBM program depends not only on technical execution but also on how well the performance data is communicated to stakeholders.
In this webinar, we will delve into the essential inputs required to develop meaningful and actionable metrics that can accurately reflect the health and efficiency of your assets. We will also explore strategies for delivering these insights to stakeholders across your enterprise, ensuring that they support decision-making at all levels. By the end of the session, you will have a clear roadmap for integrating these metrics into your CBM program for measurable improvements in performance and reliability.

Since the late 90s, maintenance team leaders have struggled to make their teams more efficient and “World Class.” Root Cause Analysis is essential to understand when and why these inefficiencies began. Leaders need to change their mindset about where to find future maintenance associates, focusing on the MT (Maintenance Team) Factors:
MT Factor #1: The Generational Shift
MT Factor #2: The Demographic Shift

Maintaining assets in a cost-effective manner is essential to a company's profitability. To effectively and efficiently execute an Asset Management (Maintenance & Reliability - M&R) Strategy, an organization should have an effective Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The CMMS is the system of record that provides well organized and accurate data for continuous improvement. Effective utilization and execution of the three main elements of an Asset Management Strategy (Work Management, Asset Strategies, and Defect Elimination) requires accurate data and history in the CMMS.
To do this, an organization must make the investment of effort to collect necessary data to create and possess an accurate Equipment Register. This investment provides an organization with agreed-to and standardized definitions, designs, processes, and guidelines for building the sub-elements of the Equipment Register which include a Master Equipment List (MEL), Equipment or Asset Hierarchy, and Master Data. Master Data is the foundation of Asset Management. It is a starting point for continuous improvement.
This presentation will highlight the reasons for effective data collection and the do's and don't's associated with capturing good data in your CMMS in to allow for effective Asset Management.

Most CMMS systems by nature are neither intuitive nor simple to understand. Here is where the adoption of a “best practice” CMMS Implementation methodology can be worth its weight in gold by ensuring the fundamental 3 C’s (consensus with clarity and certainty) are instrumental in the decisions you are making. This is definitely a great place to say the old adage, “you don’t know what you don’t know”. This is also a great place to be sure you are aligned with your organizations adopted maintenance Best Practices.

Discussing the real return on investment of properly aligning rotating equipment. As there is a renewed focus on reliability and vibration monitoring, I focus on a root cause. An often-quoted comment is “...why align a machine when it is fitted with a flexible coupling designed to accommodate misalignment?” I will talk about why this one often overlooked step in machinery maintenance is so important. The real payoff is often larger than you can imagine. Todays Laser alignment systems offer precision that is easy to learn and use giving the younger workforce the ability to replace old methods that are lost with an aging workforce.

Reliability and Operations teams have always struggled with a repeatable process for defining criticality for maintenance spare parts. It is often too easy to make everything critical and often entails a binary method of "yes/no" or "true/false." Most criticality review processes are static (one and done) and are not revisited nor adjusted with changing business climates. Untrusted, outdated criticality reviews, if any, lead to treating everything as critical which leads to surplus which ultimately becomes obsolete... aka wasted capital.

What is the most effective method?
Does your company perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) or just failure analysis? What distinguishes these tools and when are they appropriate? Does your company have a written policy or procedure? Are these performed routinely after an incident or notable failure? Listen to one company’s process, challenges and successes in initiating an RCA program.
