Achieving reliability excellence is a crucial goal for organizations, particularly in industries like pharmaceuticals and biotech. This session will focus on how to establish and sustain reliability excellence in maintenance programs. It will highlight the importance of condition-based maintenance (CbM) as an entry point, such as implementing thermography and ultrasonic surveys, and installing simple vibrating sensors on rotating assets. This session will also address the complexity that arises when moving beyond basic maintenance strategies. Attendees will learn how to continuously refine and improve their maintenance approaches to ensure long-term reliability and performance. The unique challenges in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries will be explored, including the need for multiple maintenance methods tailored to specific asset types, regulatory demands, and operational requirements. In this session, you will learn how to:

• Implement condition-based maintenance (CbM) programs and leverage external vendors for surveys like thermography and ultrasonic inspections.
• Install and utilize vibrating sensors on rotating assets to improve predictive maintenance capabilities.
• Develop a continuous improvement strategy to refine maintenance efforts and ensure long-term reliability.
• Overcome the complexities of maintaining assets in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, including regulatory considerations.
• Combine various maintenance methods to meet the unique demands of different asset types and operational environments.
