Last chance to book WM’s Factory Health and Maintenance Conference28 May 2014

It is your last chance to book for WM's Factory Health and Maintenance Conference on 5 June and pick up valuable tips on how to boost your bottom line.

The event at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon will equip you with the skills to deliver a winning maintenance strategy and ensure you don't get caught out by having an inadequate health and safety strategy.

Among the speakers will be Paul Mahoney (pictured) whose arm was ripped off and reattached following a horrific accident involving a machine breakdown (see http://bit.ly/1hxgO8d).

And don't miss Paul Crabtree of Best Factory Award-winner Milliken detailing how the firm has pioneered a painstaking proactive maintenance strategy to ensure over 100 looms at its Wellington site, which manufactures airbag material for the automotive industry, can run 24/7. Crabtree will also reveal how Milliken is growing its own maintenance engineers to beat skills shortages through an intensive training and development programme.

Derek Hill, UK managing director of global maintenance consultancy Advanced Technology Services, will be on hand to discuss how the company uses techniques like root-cause analysis and Six Sigma to help manufacturing giants boost machine availability and reduce breakdowns. Hill will be revealing how blending key maintenance performance targets into your continuous improvement programme can help kick start your path to manufacturing excellence.

The agenda also features Siemens' Neil Nevill who will explain how to design in safety from the start of your maintenance operations. The performance enhancing results that follow a safety-first maintenance culture and getting to grips with legal challenges like PUWER will also be under discussion from keynote speakers from top organisations including IoSH, HSE and Reliable Manufacturing.
