| MAXIMISING PRODUCTION AND OUTPUT THROUGH BEST MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES & LEADERSHIP |
|
09.00 | Keynote Address:
Strategy and leadership: Is your maintenance strategy up to standard?
Maintenance is one part in effective asset management. An asset management strategy clarifies the maintenance strategy objectives and establishes the correct positioning for business outcomes. If maintenance only focuses on maintenance they will have the highest equipment availability and it will be at an extreme cost. Therefore the maintenance
strategy has to fit inside of an asset management strategy to optimize the business results. Also, most businesses fail at implementation and execution principally because they have the wrong leaders to execute the strategy or they are really only giving the new strategy initiative lip service.
- Addressing common mistakes organizations make when attempting to implement corporate initiatives for improving asset performance.
- What are the pitfalls and errors in your asset management and maintenance improvement strategies?
- Do you have the correct leadership and convictions to execute your strategy?

09.30 | Special Address:
Emotional Intelligence – What’s that got to do with maintenance?
Leadership is about getting others to willingly do what you want them to do. Success in your own career is predicated more on getting others doing what you want them to do. Emotional intelligence is far more important to success
in business, career and in personal relationships than education and experience – EI is the hallmark of a real leader.
- What is “emotional intelligence”? Demystifying this much
talked about but poorly understood topic.
- What does it have to do with maintenance and reliability?
- Why is it so important for success? Does culture matter?
Mobilizing others to your cause.
- What is your level of emotional intelligence? How you can
tell if you have what it takes and how can you develop EI?

| ASSET AND EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND AUTOMATION |
|
09.00 | Life cycle cost modelling for equipment replacement or modification decisions
A life cycle cost analysis is important for cost accounting purposes. In deciding to modify or replace equipments, a timetable of life cycle costs helps show what costs need to be allocated to a product so that an organization can recover its costs. If all costs can not be recovered, it would not be wise to modify or replace equipments.

| STRATEGIC MAINTENANCE PLANNING FORUM: A REVIEW OF YOUR PREVENTIVE, PREDICTIVE AND REACTIVE MEASURES TO STRATEGIC MAINTENANCE |
|
16.00 | Get your maintenance plan reviewed by international maintenance experts!
Led by international maintenance experts – this 1.5 hour intensive and interactive session allows you to bring your existing maintenance schedule and action plan for review and consulting with an international maintenance expert in the mining industry.
Recognizing that information is often missed out when brought back to the office after an event, this session is specifically designed for top executives who want to bring core members of their team to ensure that lessons drawn
from the conference can be brought back and implemented immediately in their companies.
This strategic planning forum is where participants will be divided into small groups. Each group will be led by an industry expert who can brainstorm with you and your team how to implement key strategies learnt during the conference to their real work situations. This is a valuable experience which
ensures that the lessons learnt from the conference are put into practical use specifically for your company.

09.00 | “Sizing the Prize” – Building Business Cases for Maintenance Improvement Projects
Led by: Dr Peter Knights
Maintenance professionals often have difficulty justifying investments in maintenance improvement initiatives. In part, this is due to a lack of alignment between commonly used maintenance performance indices and key business drivers, and a lack of formal business training amongst maintenance professionals.
The objective of this workshop is for participants to develop a better understanding of how to construct business cases for
maintenance improvement initiatives. This involves developing the ability to: understand discounted cash flow methods; identify bottlenecks and capacity constraints; identify the value-adding dimensions of maintenance and; link maintenance performance indices to key business drivers.
The workshop is targeted at: maintenance managers and superintendents; maintenance planners and schedulers; reliability and maintenance engineers, and; business improvement specialists. The workshop will be conducted as series of lectures with class exercises involving practical examples from the mining industry.
About Your Masterclass leader
Dr Peter Knights has over 18 years experience in the Mining Industry, most of which have been dedicated to research and consulting in: maintenance
management and reliability engineering in the mining industry; root cause failure analysis; maintenance resource requirements analysis; maintenance
organizational structure; risk management in outsourcing decisions; developing maintenance strategy plans and maintenance audits; Reliability Centered Maintenance; optimum component change out decisions, and; costing downtime and loss of service. In Chile, over a 10 year period, Dr Knights: consulted on maintenance improvement to Phelps Dodge Latin America; developed a manual for Minera Escondida to assess the risk/cost/
benefit of maintenance improvement projects; assisted the Chilean Army to establish a maintenance research program and modernize maintenance practices; evaluated in-house versus outsourced maintenance alternatives for the Collahuasi mine; developed a streamlined RCM methodology and lead a pilot project to improve the reliability of two cathode stripping machines (MTBF increased from minutes to 8.5 hours); established a 3 year collaborative research agreement with Komatsu Chile and determined optimum armature replacement intervals for haul truck traction motors;
developed the “Jack-Knife” (logarithmic scatter plot) methodology for establishing maintenance priorities, and; presented industry short courses in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Iran and Canada. Dr. Knights has published some 40 journal and 25 conference articles.

09.00 | Choosing Excellence with Uptime – Get Out of Your Comfort Zone for Sustainable Results !
Led by: James Reyes-Picknell
Conventional approaches to maintenance improvement may work well in the short term, but they are not always sustainable. Few major transformation efforts change fundamental thinking and behaviors. In this workshop we’ll show you the elements necessary for “technical” success and present an approach to making the transformation that tends to get results that last. Real examples will highlight the key points being made. Discussion will be lively as we hit on some hot button issues that must change for sustainable results.
Why you should attend?
You’ve tried to change what you are doing and you’ve had only limited to no success. You want to get better results – lower costs, improve uptime, reliability, availability and production output. You say that safety is important but accidents and injuries still happen. In short – you are not getting what you want and if you do, it doesn’t last. You are ready to try something different. Start by learning what “different” really means.
Who should attend?
Corporate VPs, directors, managers and superintendents responsible for production, operations, maintenance and reliability. Senior level management and executives who want results and aren’t happy with what you are getting now.
