Workshops
IMEC 2011 Workshops take place on Friday, Oct. 7, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Workshop #1:
Canadian Maintenance Game
Erwin Hessels and Guy Delahay, Mainnovation
The Canadian Maintenance Game, presented by Mainnovation, is a dynamic, competitive learning event, based on real-life maintenance activities and strategies. With the workshop, you and your team members will learn how to derive a focused strategy, deal with the demands of your CEO, read and analyze key performance indicator (KPI) benchmarking reports, which variables you can change over time, and what effect they will have on the overall KPI score.
Strategy and decisions of all teams are entered in a simulation tool, so your competitors will affect your situation. The team that creates the most economic value after playing a number of rounds wins the prestigious top award. Needless to say it is fun to play! As a bonus, every participant will get a free copy of VDM: New Faith in Maintenance.
Workshop #2:
How to Maximize Thermal Imaging for Process Control
Jon Chynoweth, NEC-Avio, United States
Note: This is an in-depth version of Jon’s Wednesday-morning Keynote topic.
The use of remote-placed thermal imagers for monitoring production lines is a cost-effective tool to increase production and product quality, reduce scrap and improve margins. While a straightforward case can be made for implementation of on-line thermal imaging, a total engineered system is needed to maximize effectiveness of this solution. When designing this solution, a key step is to determine and control the emissivity of the product and environment to maintain long-term, accurate temperature measurement. This presentation will discuss the parameters for designing the overall package necessary to meet these goals. It will also illustrate the effect of emissivity on temperature measurement and the measures necessary to compensate for this phenomenon.
