THE RIGHT AND WRONG STUFF: TEAMWORK AND LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE ASTRONAUT CORPS - Dr. Tom Jones, Tuesday, April 25, 8-9:20 a.m.
Thomas D. Jones, Ph.D., is a scientist, author, pilot, and veteran NASA astronaut. In
more than 11 years with NASA, he flew on four space shuttle missions. On his last flight, Dr. Jones led three spacewalks to install the centerpiece of the International Space Station, the American Destiny laboratory. He has spent 53 days working and living in space.
In “The Right and Wrong Stuff,” Tom recounts the good and the bad from NASA’s half-century-long experience in human spaceflight, an enterprise that demands the utmost in team performance and no-nonsense leadership. He discusses how NASA rebounded 50 years ago from the terrible loss of the Apollo 1 crew
to the unparalleled triumph of the first Moon landing less than three years later. NASA’s classic response to the Apollo 13 inflight failure and the troubled launch of its first space station, Skylab, represent the agency’s finest team achievements. Over the next 30 years, NASA fielded the space shuttle and led the construction of the International Space Station (ISS), the most complex and successful international project ever attempted.
Tom, a veteran of the negotiations and demanding operations that built the ISS, brings you inside the Astronaut Corps to share its triumphs and failures, from the daring repair of the Hubble telescope to the searing, preventable losses of two space shuttle orbiters and crews, his friends aboard Columbia among them. Taking you aloft for his four successful missions, he relates the leadership techniques that worked, those that didn’t, and discusses the direction America must take to lead the world in 21st Century spaceflight.

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPSMonday, April 24 | 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Designing and Procuring Equipment to Increase Reliability Jerry Putt, Noria CorporationMost efforts to meet reliability goals generally come from the maintenance organization. Often the inherent reliability of the system is determined by the design and procurement
practices employed long before the equipment becomes the responsibility of the plant. Design and procurement personnel usually are focused on meeting functionality requirements within cost and delivery time constraints. This workshop will provide suggestions for designers and procurement professionals that can result in higher potential reliability and give the maintenance team a better opportunity to consistently achieve the optimum capability of the equipment.
5 Things You Need to Know to Become an Effective Hydraulic Troubleshooter Chris Dellinger, GPM Hydraulic ConsultingFew maintenance professionals can effectively troubleshoot a hydraulic machine. But how can you turn part changers into hydraulic troubleshooters? Whether you are a millwright or
a plant supervisor, this workshop will help you understand the various component functions, how to read and use a hydraulic schematic, proper pressure setting procedures, how to properly adjust a machine and troubleshoot individual components without removing them from the machine, as well as the correct reliability checks to make on the heart of the machine — the hydraulic power unit (HPU).
How to Achieve Maintenance Planning Excellence Doc Palmer, Richard Palmer & Associates Inc.Maintenance planning and scheduling can dramatically improve productivity. Yet most organizations do not have a planning function,
and those that do are often frustrated. This workshop will detail the fundamentals of maintenance planning and scheduling and offer examples to illustrate the key techniques to achieve success. Join Doc Palmer, author of McGraw-Hill’s Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook, as he covers not just theories and principles but the nuts and bolts of how planning and scheduling work. Attendees will walk away with specific practices they can use to implement a new planning organization or dramatically improve an existing one.
How to Integrate Multiple Condition Monitoring Technologies for Maximum Reliability – Walter Barringer, Allied Reliability Group
How do the “big four” condition monitoring technologies work and what can they tell you about your machinery and your equipment’s
condition? This workshop will focus on the four primary condition monitoring technologies: vibration, infrared thermography, ultrasound and oil analysis. Beginning with an explanation of the applications for each technology, Walter Barringer will cover what the technologies can and cannot do when integrated into a condition monitoring program. Attendees will learn how each of the four primary technologies works, when and where to apply each technology, which technologies to start with first in a new condition monitoring program, and how to choose equipment for inclusion in the program.
POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPSThursday, April 27 | 1-4:30 p.m.

Mini-Workshops
The Power of the Patch Test Wes Cash, Noria Corporation
Few field tests can pack the power that a patch test does. For such a simple test, it can provide valuable information on contamination and machine health.
This workshop will show you the steps to perform an effective patch test as well as how to diagnose problems based upon the results.
How to Take a Representative Oil Sample Bennett Fitch, Noria Corporation
Taking an oil sample may seem straightforward on the surface, but putting the concepts and procedures into action can quickly bring to light
many questions about the appropriate method. A successful oil analysis program can hinge entirely on the approach taken to obtain the sample. This workshop will show you the best methods for taking a representative sample so you can be confident in the oil analysis results.
How to Read an Oil Analysis Report Bennett Fitch, Noria CorporationThere is no reason to perform oil analysis if the reports obtained are not understood correctly. With so much information packed into just a few pages of data, the wealth of knowledge available is astounding. This workshop will show you how to make sense of the data and determine whether further action is required.
How to Determine Grease Compatibility Rich Wurzbach, MRG Labs
All greases are not the same. Before switching to a different grease, it is critical to consider all the compatibility issues involved between the new
grease and the current grease in use. This workshop will show how to determine if two greases are compatible and offer examples of grease compatibility testing.
Maintaining a Proper Lubrication System: The Basics for Bearings Loren Green, Noria CorporationWhile most people understand the need for proper lubrication in maintaining a bearing, this workshop will show what that means and how
to establish precision lubrication for a rolling-element bearing. Attendees will learn how to calculate greasing amounts and frequencies as well as how to determine a lubricant’s base oil viscosity.
Contaminant Exclusion: How to Keep Lubricants Clean, Cool and Dry - Loren Green, Noria Corporation
There is much more to keeping a lubricant clean, cool and dry than just outfitting a machine. There are many avenues for contaminants to enter your systems. This workshop will show you what a properly equipped system looks like and the protection each item provides.
Unlike Reliable Plant’s learning sessions, these six mini-workshops are hands-on presentations designed to give attendees the chance to see firsthand some of the most important tools, test methods, procedures and equipment used in the field of lubrication and lubricant analysis.

Exhibition Hall & Exhibitors
EXHIBITOR LIST - KEY SPONSORS SHOWN IN BLUE (AS OF 1/10/17)
Second Keynote Address: Why Inspection 2.0 Is Your Best Strategy for Detecting Machine Faults Jim Fitch, Noria Corporation Tuesday, April 25, 4 – 4:45 p.m.
This special presentation by Noria’s Jim Fitch will explain the radical reinvention of machine inspections. With Inspection 2.0, you don’t just “look” at a bearing, seal, coupling or pump. Instead, you “examine” these components with a keen and probing eye. Inspection 2.0 is intense and purposeful. It seeks to penetrate and extract information from what’s been referred to as machine sign language. Attendees will learn how to translate this sign language into prescribed activities and instructions that stabilize reliability as well as how to adopt Inspection 2.0 to bring powerful capabilities to their organization.
