Pharma M2R Minds 2012 - From Maintenance to Reliability

Aug. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- I certainly enjoyed the sections and sessions – Great Conference.
Kaveh Pourteymour, CIO, BP

Without pharmaceutical maintenance procedures in place, product producers face the risk of equipment failures, causing key pieces of machinery to be withdrawn from use which in certain cases, this one piece of equipment, may result in the closure of an entire production line. If companies don’t put the proper servicing techniques in place, their equipment is going to fail, or become inconsistent in its operation.

In this state, pharmaceutical maintenance and repair costs will be high, since it will mainly consist of recovering from catastrophic break downs. A good maintenance management system helps a company’s engineering department plan and schedule their work. It also helps manage spare parts, track who worked on a piece of equipment and who signed off on it and allocate resources in an appropriate manner.

In order to prevent such incidents, manufacturers of pharmaceuticals are in need of a strategic approach to maintenance, OEE, Operational Excellence and Change Control Management. In order to reach Reliability, Maintenance must be more focused on the strategic level and integrated in plant asset management frameworks, OEE & OPEX.

The Pharma Maintenance2Reliability Minds 2012 in Berlin, will discuss strategic approaches to the handling and management of pharmaceutical plants for engineering and maintenance decision makers.

Meet with experts from across the globe to expand your network and discuss current challenges and solutions with 20 renowned knowledgeable experts from international corporations.
