Early Equipment

Maintenance
Prevention
15 17 July 2014
Reaseheath College,
Cheshire

Practitioner Level 3
Day Workshop
Most managers and engineers have had experience of working with troublesome assets
that need significant production/maintenance attention during routine operation. Perhaps
even of assets that took months before they could be used productively. These are the
type of high maintenance assets with correspondingly high running costs which
Maintenance Prevention is designed to avoid.
Also known as Early Equipment Management (EEM), Maintenance Prevention is a toolbox of
best practices designed to deliver flawless operation from production day one for new or upgraded
assets. It also delivers low cost operation over the life of the asset through the timely collaboration
of knowledge, skills and resources to deliver equipment and processes which:
Have lower life cycle costs because they are: (1. Easy to use, 2. Easy to maintain, 3.
Intrinsically reliable and 4. Intrinsically safe.
Have enhanced project value in terms of flexibility to evolving customer needs/features and
levels of return on investment.
Achieve flawless operation from production day 1.
Held at Reaseheath College, Nantwich, Cheshire the workshop programme includes
assessment of current production assets providing hands on syndicate sessions to help participants
to understand how to apply the theory in practice
Designed for project/design managers, engineers and key personnel who want to understand how
make the right decisions at each stage of their capital project to avoid the common pitfalls which
result in High Maintenance assets.

Why attend the workshop?

The content of the workshop provides practical tools to enhance existing project management, plant
upgrade and new product introduction processes. This also builds on and complements Lean, TPM or
6 Sigma improvement principles and techniques.
The learning goals for the workshop are to:
Raise awareness of Maintenance Prevention principles and techniques, why it is
important and how it builds on existing CI and engineering best practice;
Explain how to set MP standards and use them to identify weak
components/mechanisms and improve equipment design to deliver low asset life cycle
costs;
Help participants to
o translate tacit knowledge in to a form which supports equipment design and
procurement decisions
o Incorporate MP standards into equipment specification, procurement
o Implementation programmes to reduce equipment life cycle costs and enhance
project value.
The workshop will include theory, case studies and practical activities on the fully functional process
plant at Reaseheath, to reinforce the learning points.
This will include:
-

MP assessment of a live production asset

Video based case study exercises
MP Design exercises;
Development of a sample MP implementation programme
Personal 90 day action plan

Delegates will take away a comprehensive workbook containing briefing notes and supporting
templates so that they can apply MP tools back at the workplace.
