TAPPI's two-day (April 23 - 24) OpEx Reliability Seminar, being co-located with PaperCon 2012, April 22 - 25, in New Orleans, La., USA, features a total of seven full sessions on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m., Tor Idhammar of IDCON and Ian McKinnon of Reliability Solutions take a close up look at progress that has been made in the reliability arena and what can be done to keep the ball rolling in that direction.

Idhammar's presentation, titled "The Journey toward World Class Maintenance: Why Some Reach It and Most Do Not," examines persistent obstacles to progress in the maintenance and reliability function and how to possible overcome them and move forward. McKinnon explores success mills are having by combining reliability systems, processes, and precision skills to deliver exceptional results. Together, these two presentations serve as both an industry report card and a detailed analysis of potential paths toward improvement. .
