Best practices for industrial plant maintenance shows higher uptime, lower cost and better return on invested capital.

Fort Myers FL (PRWEB) July 15, 2008 -- Reliabilityweb.com, an online community of maintenance and reliability professionals and the organizer of PdM-2008 Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference, announced today that early registrations for the September conference are exceeding the pace of all previous years and that another sold-out event is expected.


According to conference organizer and reliability expert Terrence O'Hanlon, CMRP, "Some companies are waking up to the incredible value that can be delivered through proactive maintenance programs while the laggard companies are still focused on "cost cutting" their way to profitability. PdM-2008 includes training workshops and case studies that provide a roadmap that attendees can use to put their company in the top 20% performance category. Earnings per share are directly affected by maintenance and reliability practices for each asset intensive company."

O'Hanlon stated that Reliabilityweb.com research shows that the top performing 20% share three common traits:
•    A senior level executive is directly responsible for plant asset maintenance and reliability
•    Proactive strategies such as predictive condition based maintenance and reliability-centered maintenance have largely replaced reactive and time based maintenance strategies
•    Use of advanced technologies to monitor and report leading key performance indicators (KPIs) across the enterprise with all stakeholders in real time
