THE RIGHT AND WRONG STUFF: TEAMWORK AND LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE ASTRONAUT CORPS - Dr. Tom Jones | Tuesday, April 25 | 8:00 - 9:20 a.m.

Thomas D. Jones, PhD, is a scientist, author, pilot, and

veteran NASA astronaut. In more than 11 years with NASA, he flew on four space shuttle missions to Earth orbit. On his last flight, Dr. Jones led three spacewalks to install the centerpiece of the International Space Station, the American Destiny laboratory. He has spent 53 days working and living in space.

In “The Right and Wrong Stuff,” Tom recounts the good and the bad from NASA’s half-century-long experience in human spaceflight, an enterprise that demands the utmost in team performance and no-nonsense leadership. He discusses how NASA rebounded 50

years ago from the terrible loss of the Apollo 1 crew to the unparalleled triumph of the first Moon landing less than three years later. NASA’s classic response to the Apollo 13 inflight failure and the troubled launch of its first space station, Skylab, represent the agency’s finest team achievements. Over the next 30 years, NASA fielded the space shuttle and led the construction of the International Space Station (ISS), the most complex and successful international project ever attempted.

Tom, a veteran of the negotiations and demanding operations that built the ISS, brings you inside the Astronaut Corps to share its triumphs and failures, from the daring repair of the Hubble telescope to the searing, preventable losses of two space shuttle orbiters and crews, his friends aboard Columbia among them. Taking you aloft for his four successful missions, he relates the leadership techniques that worked, those that didn’t, and discusses the direction America must take to lead the world in 21st Century spaceflight.

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPSMonday, April 24, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Designing and Procuring Equipment to Increase Reliability - Jerry Putt, Noria CorporationMost efforts to meet reliability goals generally come from the maintenance organization. Often the inherent reliability of the system is determined by the design and procurement

practices employed long before the equipment becomes the responsibility of the plant. Design and procurement personnel usually are focused on meeting functionality requirements within cost and delivery time constraints. This workshop will provide suggestions for designers and procurement professionals that can result in higher potential reliability and give the maintenance team a better opportunity to consistently achieve the optimum capability of the equipment.

5 Things You Need to Know to Become an Effective Hydraulic Troubleshooter - Chris Dellinger, GPM Hydraulic ConsultingFew maintenance professionals can effectively troubleshoot a hydraulic machine. But how can you turn part changers into hydraulic

troubleshooters? Whether you are a millwright or a plant supervisor, this workshop will help you understand the various component functions, how to read and use a hydraulic schematic, proper pressure setting procedures, how to properly adjust a machine and troubleshoot individual components without removing them from the machine, as well as the correct reliability checks to make on the heart of the machine — the hydraulic power unit (HPU).

How to Achieve Maintenance Planning Excellence - Doc Palmer, Richard Palmer & Associates Inc.Maintenance planning and scheduling can dramatically improve productivity. Yet most organizations do not have a planning function,

and those that do are often frustrated. This workshop will detail the fundamentals of maintenance planning and scheduling and offer examples to illustrate the key techniques to achieve success. Join Doc Palmer, author of McGraw-Hill’s Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook, as he covers not just theories and principles but the nuts and bolts of how planning and scheduling work. Attendees will walk away with specific practices they can use to implement a new planning organization or dramatically improve an existing one.

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPSThursday, April 27, 1-4:30 p.m.

Lubrication Excellence Essentials for Leaders - Jim Fitch, Noria CorporationThere’s a revolution occurring. Managers who once desired machine reliability now demand it. It’s a matter of corporate survival in the global economy, and effective machinery lubrication

is an essential enabler to success. This movement has led companies in all industries to take control of reliability by reinventing their lubrication programs. Those who are responding to the challenge are seeing amazing results – on the bottom line, where it counts most. The change goes beyond simply using better lubricants. The leaders are employing technologies, empowering employees and building ultramodern new practices – creating a new and energized reliability culture.

Situational Leadership: How to Diagnose Employee Performance Issues - Chris Christenson, Noria CorporationAccurately diagnosing an employee’s performance can be difficult. Many times what you observe is only part of the story. There are many factors that can impact an employee

performance. Understanding how to identify the major contributors to performance success or failure can be challenging. This workshop will take a look at the factors, how they influence an employee’s behavior and how to respond. Each employee is different, and one solution rarely fits all. Once you identify the specifics, you can lead with the best response. Join Chris for this hands-on workshop and learn how to identify and respond to your team’s performance needs.

DON’T MISS INSIGHTFUL CASE STUDIES FROM THESE INDUSTRY LEADERS…

Mini-Workshops

The Power of the Patch Test - Wes Cash, Noria Corporation

Few field tests can pack the power that a patch test does. For such a simple test, it can provide valuable information on contamination and machine health.

This workshop will show you the steps to perform an effective patch test as well as how to diagnose problems based upon the results.

How to Take a Representative Oil Sample - Bennett Fitch, Noria Corporation

Taking an oil sample may seem straightforward on the surface, but putting the concepts and procedures into action can quickly bring to light

many questions about the appropriate method. A successful oil analysis program can hinge entirely on the approach taken to obtain the sample. This workshop will show you the best methods for taking a representative sample so you can be confident in the oil analysis results.

How to Read an Oil Analysis Report - Bennett Fitch, Noria CorporationThere is no reason to perform oil analysis if the reports obtained are not understood correctly. With so much information packed into just a few pages of data, the wealth of knowledge available is astounding. This workshop will show you how to make sense of the data and determine whether further action is required.

How to Determine Grease Compatibility - Rich Wurzbach, MRG Labs

All greases are not the same. Before switching to a different grease, it is critical to consider all the compatibility issues involved between the new

grease and the current grease in use. This workshop will show how to determine if two greases are compatible and offer examples of grease compatibility testing.

Maintaining a Proper Lubrication System: The Basics for Bearings - Loren Green, Noria CorporationWhile most people understand the need for proper lubrication in maintaining a bearing, this workshop will show what that means and how

to establish precision lubrication for a rolling-element bearing. Attendees will learn how to calculate greasing amounts and frequencies as well as how to determine a lubricant’s base oil viscosity.

Contaminant Exclusion: How to Keep Lubricants Clean, Cool and Dry - Loren Green, Noria Corporation

There is much more to keeping a lubricant clean, cool and dry than just outfitting a machine. There are many avenues for contaminants to enter your systems. This workshop will show you what a properly equipped system looks like and the protection each item provides.

Unlike Reliable Plant’s learning sessions, these six mini-workshops are hands-on presentations designed to give attendees the chance to see firsthand some of the most important tools, test methods, procedures and equipment used in the field of lubrication and lubricant analysis.

Written notice prior to the event is required for substitute attendees.
