IDCON CEO and founder Christer Idhammar will be delivering a workshop at the Society of Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP) Symposium, taking place in Atlanta, Georgia from 7-8 June.
Mr. Idhammar will present a four-hour workshop entitled ‘Dos and Don’ts to Achieve and Sustain Asset Integrity Excellence’.
The workshop focuses on how to improve reliability using examples of common mistakes and successful initiatives.
The event will reinforce the concept that while leadership may change in an organization, a clear mission stating that manufacturing reliability can only be achieved in an equal partnership between operations, maintenance, stores and engineering.
Mr. Idhammar stated, "Improving reliability and maintenance performance is 90% about people and 10% about technology. The mobility of top management often results in frequently starting new initiatives with new names on the same things.
"This topic is vital to the SMRP membership in their understanding of how to create sustainable reliability initiatives."
