Track 6 is the SMRP track. Day One is filled with useful information about SMRP. This track will be of particular interest to new members and to existing members who want to learn about the many useful tools developed by SMRP volunteers that are available to them.
The day begins with SMRP’s Value Proposition presented by outgoing SMRP Chair, Michael Eisenbise with BP. Michael will provide an overview of all of the valuable benefits to be derived from active membership in the association. Michael will be followed by Best Practices Committee chair Dick Olver with Agrium who will review the committee’s development and publication of dozens of maintenance and reliability metrics. Dick will also review the numerous guides published by the Best Practices Committee that are available free of charge to association members. After lunch, Shelley Whitener with Sandia Labs and the M&RK Committee Chair will demonstrate the new conference proceedings search tool. Hundreds… yes hundreds of abstracts from SMRP conferences over the past 11 years will be available to you with easy search capability. So look no further, log into SMRP to find information on the latest maintenance and reliability tools and technology. Shelley will be followed by Jackie Lovette with Boeing and Benchmarking Committee Chair who will announce the launch of the second generation of SMRP’s benchmarking tool. Jackie will also share key learning’s derived from the 2009 study results. Jackie will be followed by SMRP Membership and Component Relations manager Erin Quinn who will educate association members on how to form and grow a SMRP chapter or SIG (Special Interest Group). Erin will review chapter and SIG best practices. This will be invaluable information for those interested in starting a chapter and SIG and will provide a chance to network with existing chapter and SIG leaders.
If you’re unable to make any of these track sessions, SMRP’s BoK Directorate will have a booth at the conference staffed by committee volunteers who will be available throughout the conference to educate association members and answer questions regarding the benefits of membership provided through the BoK. With all of this available to you at the conference… you can’t afford not to go! I look forward to seeing you in Milwaukee!
