Top 4 Reasons to Attend the Maintenance and Reliability Track at the 2025 Global TapRooT® Summit
In industries where equipment uptime is crucial, repeat equipment failures can feel like an endless cycle, halting production, incurring high costs, and impacting operational efficiency. Many companies struggle to address these failures effectively, often finding themselves in a reactive rather than proactive state. This leads to frustration, a lack of confidence in equipment reliability, and repeated downtimes that hamper productivity. But what if there was a way to not only prevent these failures but also to create a more robust, principle-based troubleshooting approach that streamlines operations and minimizes downtime? You can by attending the Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices Track at the 2025 Global TapRooT® Summit.
Here are the top four reasons to attend.
1 – Your experts are leaving.
Mike Prauener and Kenneth Bloch discuss equipment reliability successes and building expertise across generations, and how they have operationalized experience and wisdom to pass on organizational learning to the next generation.
2 – Foundations in the basics.
Equifactor® is an incredibly easy tool for Equipment Troubleshooting in every SnapCharT® diagram. For anyone who hasn’t used Equifactor®, we will walk through the basics and show you how to use it when you see equipment failures, production processes, and beyond.
3 – Depth of understanding.
Dave Hulsey and Jason Forester of Arlanxeo have designed Equifactor® tables for process troubleshooting. Next-level Equifactor® gives operators everything they need to prove and correct high-level system and super-system issues in integrating many machines and humans.
4 – Integration
Troubleshooting in the field? Learn how to use Equifactor® tables in the TapRooT® App. During this session, Justin and Angie will walk you through a few exercises and give you examples of using Equifactor® outside of the office and in the field during an investigation.
MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY BONUS!
If those four reasons weren’t enough, here’s a bonus:
Mark Paradies will be presenting the final Maintenance and Reliability Track session on what it took to build the first and almost mythological high-reliability organization, the United States Navy Nuclear Navy:
How Admiral Rickover Built the First High-Reliability Organization.
