One Day Value Driven Maintenance Masterclass
Mainnovation, in association with Conference Communication, announces the launch of the Value Driven Maintenance® (VDM) Master Class. This is a one-day case-study conference in the UK in October 2013, which features a complimentary follow-up one to one benchmarking service and access to a series of Master Class webinars. There is also an option to attend the Maintenance Business Experience – the interactive business game for maintenance and reliability professionals – at a discounted rate.
Value Driven Maintenance® (VDM)
’What is actually the added value of maintenance?’ is a frequently heard question in boardrooms the world over. Even though maintenance is often critically important, few maintenance managers are able to answer the question convincingly, especially when they are asked to express the benefits in terms of economic value added or shareholder value - the language increasingly being spoken at boardroom level.
VDM builds a bridge between traditional maintenance philosophies and managing by economic added value. Not only does VDM simplify the boardroom discussion, it also shows that far from being a cost center, maintenance can create significant economic value, improving the overall business performance.
The Master Class Conference
In the introduction to the day, current trends in the maintenance market place will be presented and the role of VDM explained. You will learn how to create economic added value and shareholder value with maintenance; learn more about the Value Driver Model, the competence model and the VDM Control Panel; and learn how to apply the VDM methodology in your own organisation. Presentations will scope all the elements of the VDM philosophy and best practice case histories from various industries will be used to demonstrate the application of VDM.
Complimentary Follow-up Benchmarking
VDM Master Class conference attendees are offered the unique opportunity to calculate the value potential of their maintenance organisation with the myVDM.com benchmarking tool. Your own maintenance data and key performance indicators (KPI’s) will be compared with best in class companies.
This follow up benchmarking service will include:
• Provision of data collection forms.
• Entry of collected data into benchmark database.
• One to one follow-up Doctors Surgery (telephone/GoTO meeting) of approximately 30-60 minutes duration.
• Report that will summarise all the steps, including the branch related benchmark graphs and recommendations for improvement.
The report will help you set your maintenance strategy and ensure that your company gains the utmost value from its maintenance operations.
Master Class Webinars
After the Benchmarking module, eight Master Class Webinars will be available. These one-hour sessions, accessible from your workplace, will discuss the key competences of maintenance:
1. How to Benchmark your Maintenance Performance
2. Achieve sustainable Cost Control
3. Improve your Asset Utilisation
4. The future of Reliability Engineering
5. Gatekeeping job plans
6. Effective outsourcing of Maintenance
7. Optimise your Spare Part Logistics
8. Successful implementation of an EAM system
Maintenance Business Experience
To complete the VDM Master Class, participants are offered the opportunity )at a discounted rate) to play the Maintenance Business Experience – an interactive business game where maintenance teams compete with each other to develop the most value adding maintenance strategy for a fictitious company called ‘Evolve’. In the annual strategy, the teams are faced with questions like: How many technicians do we need? How many critical spare parts we keep in stock? What is the optimum preventive maintenance programme for this plant? and Which improvements should we implement in our organisation?
